Fast Relief When Your Smile Can't Wait
Cracked a tooth, lost a filling, or dealing with pain that will not let up? A dental emergency can strike at the worst moment, and putting off care often lets a small problem turn into a serious one. We keep room in the schedule for urgent cases and treat most of them the same day, so you are not left waiting in pain. From a knocked-out tooth to sudden swelling, fast, gentle help is here when you need it.
What Is a Dental Emergency, and What Is Emergency Dentistry?
A dental emergency is any problem that needs urgent attention, such as severe pain, a knocked-out or broken tooth, swelling, or a sudden infection. Emergency dentistry is the prompt care that treats those problems before they get worse, getting you seen quickly and treated the same day whenever possible, instead of suffering through the weekend or a long wait. At Next Smile+Implant, our team handles a wide range of urgent issues, from cracked teeth to swelling and abscesses.
Signs You May Need an Emergency Dentist
Some dental problems simply cannot wait for a regular appointment.
-
Severe Toothache — A toothache that is severe, throbbing, or keeping you up at night often points to a serious underlying problem that needs urgent attention.
-
Broken Tooth — A tooth that has been knocked out, cracked, or badly broken should be seen immediately, since prompt care gives it a much stronger chance of survival.
-
Facial Swelling — Swelling in your face, jaw, or gums can be a warning sign of a quickly spreading infection, which is a genuine emergency that should never be ignored.
-
Lost Restoration — A suddenly lost crown or filling that leaves you in pain or with a sharp, exposed tooth is well worth an urgent visit before the damage grows worse.

The Benefits of an Emergency Dentist
Fast Relief
Getting seen right away means your pain is addressed quickly, so a throbbing tooth or an aching jaw does not have to ruin your day or your sleep.
Saves Teeth
Acting fast gives a knocked-out, cracked, or loosened tooth its best chance of being saved, which is very often possible when you are treated promptly.
Limits Damage
Prompt treatment keeps a small crack or an early infection from turning into a much larger problem that is far harder and costlier to fix later.
Avoids Complications
Handling a dental emergency early helps you avoid the more serious complications and spreading infection that waiting can quietly invite.

Read our reviews on GoogleI have to say first off, I don't like going to the dentist. It always seems to hurt so much. But coming here to Next Smile changed my outlook on dental work. The staff here is so nice, and always have a smile when they greet you. And Dr. Saeed — never do you see him without a smile. He does such great work and makes coming to see him very pleasant. If you're looking to choose which dentist to go to, look no further, he's the right choice. Made me have a smile and feel good about myself again.
★★★★★
Wow! I had several teeth removed today at age 62, and I've never had a better experience! Dr. Saeed checked on me constantly making sure I was comfortable, but I felt nothing! He is extremely gentle! He had my teeth removed, bone grafts done, and sutured so fast that I didn't believe him when he said he was all finished! Three days later, I have not felt a single discomfort and am already beginning to eat solid foods. I highly recommend Dr. Saeed and Next Smile Implant to anyone that is afraid of the dentist chair! And I'd like to extend a special thank you to Michelle, who handles the financing and is extremely knowledgeable! My dentist for life!
★★★★★
This dentist was like no other — a comfortable setting, great staff that had a calming effect, because like most of us I fear having dental work done. I highly recommend Next Smile Implant.
★★★★★
I spent decades of my life with a severe dental/dentist phobia. Before meeting Dr. Saeed Yazdianpour at NEXT, it had easily been nearly 19 years since my last dental visit. After visits to other local dentists that either didn't listen to my concerns, or couldn't do the mountain of work I'd need done, I stumbled upon NEXT SMILE + IMPLANTS, and I could NOT be happier with the results. Dr. Saeed Yazdianpour and his staff listened, and understood my fears. Ten days ago, I spent the day in their Thousand Oaks office, and left with a smile I've not seen since my twenties. This was truly a life-changing event for me.
★★★★★
I can't say enough great things about Dr Saeed and the care he provides. From the moment you walk in, you can tell he truly cares about his patients and takes pride in his work. What really stands out is how clearly he explains everything—he takes the time to walk you through your treatment options, answers all your questions, and makes sure you feel comfortable and informed every step of the way. He doesn't just treat the immediate issue, but looks at your overall dental health and long-term outcomes. It's rare to find someone who combines this level of professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care.
★★★★★
Thank you Dr. Saeed for the excellent care you provided from start to finish with my implants. Your professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine concern made the entire process smooth and reassuring. Not to mention the assistance your wife extended with handling and guiding me through my insurance claims, which I truly appreciated. I am very happy with the results and grateful for the outstanding service you and your team provided. I highly recommend Dr. Saeed to those who are afraid to do any dental work!
★★★★★
This is definitely the place to go for exceptional care. Dr. Saeed is very caring and gentle, going out of his way to ensure comfort and satisfaction. The office staff are all kind and helpful. An excellent experience, far surpassing impersonal, 'assembly line' approaches.
★★★★★
The office staff, receptionist, tech, and Michelle were very personable and helpful. The office is brand new, beautifully furnished, modern, and very comfortable. I was provided a new-patient courtesy no-cost visit along with a 360° X-ray. Dr. Saeed Yazdianpour provided me a meticulous review of my dental problem and a very thoughtful prognosis. I'm going to come back and make this office my new dentist.
