Urgent & specialty care
Urgent and specialty dental care in Greenwich, CT
Pain, swelling, a broken tooth or a crown in your hand — call our office first. We keep same-day room open in the schedule for exactly this kind of visit.
Urgent and specialty dental care covers the problems that cannot wait for your next checkup, along with the treatments that go beyond a routine cleaning or filling. That means dental emergencies such as a severe toothache, swelling, a broken or knocked-out tooth, or a crown that has come off, as well as tooth extractions, wisdom teeth and the jaw pain that comes with TMJ disorders and teeth grinding. At Greenwich Dental Studio, each of these is cared for with the same attention and gentleness as any other visit.
When something hurts, the most important step is to call. Dental emergencies rarely happen at a convenient time, and waiting it out with ibuprofen is never the right answer. Our Greenwich dentists reserve time in the daily schedule for patients in pain, whether or not you have been to see us before, so we can find the cause, relieve the discomfort and explain what comes next in plain language.
Not every urgent visit ends in a big procedure. Often the first goal is simply comfort: calming an inflamed nerve, protecting a cracked tooth, or re-cementing a crown so you can eat normally again. When a tooth can be saved, we save it. When it cannot, we talk through removing it gently and planning what, if anything, should fill the space, before the tooth comes out rather than after.
Jaw pain, headaches on waking and teeth that look worn flat are often signs of clenching or grinding, and they tend to build slowly over years. At Greenwich Dental Studio we look at the joint, the muscles and your bite together, and recommend the simplest step that helps, whether that is a custom night guard, a bite adjustment or Botox to relax an overworked jaw muscle.
Extractions, wisdom teeth and most jaw concerns are cared for right here in our office. When a case genuinely calls for a specialist, we tell you plainly and send your records ahead so you are not starting over. If you are in pain right now, call Greenwich Dental Studio at (203) 869-2884 and we will do everything we can to see you today.

Treatments in urgent & specialty care
Where to start
Which of these applies to you
You are in pain right now, or a tooth is swollen
Call for Emergency Dentistry first. We keep same-day room open specifically for this and will decide which treatment applies once you are seen.
A tooth is too damaged or diseased to save
Tooth Extractions covers that, along with an honest conversation about what replaces the tooth afterward, if anything should.
Your wisdom teeth are impacted, painful or crowding other teeth
Wisdom Teeth Removal is handled here for most cases, with a referral made honestly when one is genuinely warranted.
You have jaw pain, clicking, or headaches on waking
TMJ & Teeth Grinding looks at the joint and the bite together rather than treating the headache on its own.
Your first appointment
What the first visit involves
An urgent visit starts with a phone call. Tell us what is happening, whether it is pain, swelling, or a tooth in your hand, and we will find room in the day rather than the next opening on the calendar. Dental emergencies do not keep office hours, so our goal is simply to see you quickly, with someone who can actually treat you.
At the appointment, imaging and an exam identify the source of the problem before we decide whether to extract, treat or refer the tooth. Extractions, wisdom teeth and most jaw concerns are handled right here in our office.
Where a case genuinely needs a specialist, such as a deeply impacted wisdom tooth, we say so directly and send your records ahead of you rather than making you start over somewhere else.
Who looks after this
Both doctors see urgent cases, with Dr. Yeterian generally taking extractions and restorative emergencies, and Dr. Marwaha taking pain and swelling that begins with the gums or affects a young patient. Our office sorts this out at the time of your call.

Asked before booking
We are out-of-network for every visit, urgent or otherwise, and we file the claim for you regardless. In an emergency, we treat first and settle the paperwork afterward.
Same-day, in most cases, if you call during office hours and describe what is happening. We deliberately keep room open in the schedule for this rather than filling it entirely with routine visits.
Yes. A knocked-out or badly chipped tooth in a child is treated the same way as an adult emergency, seen the same day, with the specific timing questions for baby versus permanent teeth explained as we go.
By what the imaging and the exam actually show about how much healthy structure and bone support remain. We tell you plainly when a tooth can reasonably be saved and when extraction is the more honest answer.
Greenwich Dental Studio is at 211 East Putnam Avenue, Suite 2-6, in Cos Cob, a short drive from central Greenwich, Riverside, Old Greenwich and Byram. Call (203) 869-2884 before you come so we can have time ready for you.
Severe or throbbing tooth pain, swelling in the face or gums, a knocked-out or broken tooth, a lost crown or filling, and bleeding that will not stop. If you are unsure, call us and describe it. Swelling that affects breathing or swallowing needs the emergency room first.
Most wisdom teeth are cared for right here. If a tooth is deeply impacted or sits close to a nerve, we tell you plainly and refer you to a specialist, sending your records ahead.
The emergency exam and any X-rays are quoted when you call. Once we know what is actually needed, whether that is a filling, an extraction, or a referral, we give you that estimate in writing before doing it.
