Looking for an emergency dentist near Downtown Miami? Prana Dental is open, about 10 to 15 minutes up Biscayne Blvd in Edgewater, with same-day appointments Monday to Saturday from 8am to 8pm. Call or text (786) 579-0521 first and tell us what happened.
Downtown Miami mixes two crowds. On weekdays it is government buildings, courthouses and office towers, full of people whose hours are set by hearings, clients and commutes. On event nights it shifts to fans heading into Kaseya Center for a Heat game or a concert, and to festival-goers at Bayfront Park and Bayside Marketplace.
For office workers, the emergency is often a toothache that has built for days, or a filling that breaks over a desk lunch. For event-goers, it is usually an accident: an elbow in a packed crowd, a stumble on the stairs, a bottle that knocks into a front tooth.
After a late show, keep any tooth or fragment moist and reach us when the office opens at 8am; for a knocked-out adult tooth, which is time-sensitive, a dentist who is open now or the ER may be the faster choice.
A toothache that throbs when you lie down, wakes you at night or comes with a bad taste can mean an infection or an irritated nerve, and it seldom settles down for good on its own. Rinse with warm water, floss gently in case something is stuck, and use an over-the-counter pain reliever only as the label directs. An early-morning visit before work is usually easier to fit in than a long lunch, since midday traffic near the courthouse can crawl.
Even after that, a hospital is the right first stop for a possibly broken jaw, heavy bleeding, a fever with facial swelling, or swelling that makes breathing or swallowing hard.
Dr. Rana, a general dentist, examines the injured area himself and separates what needs attention today from what can wait. Treatment costs are confirmed in writing before anything begins. Depending on the injury, that might mean smoothing a chip, stabilizing a loose tooth, a filling, a root canal or a crown. Oral sedation is available, and Dr. Rana refers complex cases to an oral surgeon.
If a tooth turns out to be beyond saving, there is no rush to choose a replacement. Our page on dental implants for downtown patients explains single-tooth options from $1,999, and All-on-4® for Downtown Miami covers full-arch care from $9,999 per arch. A damaged front tooth may later suit veneers near downtown. Planning for any of these starts with the free first visit: an exam, a 3D scan and a smile preview.
Most major dental insurance plans are accepted, and the team checks your benefits for you. Financing at 0% on approved credit is offered through CareCredit, Cherry and LendingClub.
Drive north on Biscayne Blvd for about 10 to 15 minutes, depending on traffic. You will pass the Adrienne Arsht Center around NE 13th Street; keep going to NE 30th Street, where the office is at 3050 Biscayne Blvd, Suite 703. Parking is available in the building and on nearby streets. On Heat game or concert nights, allow extra time around Kaseya Center.
Metromover runs through downtown but stops in the Omni area, around NE 15th Street, roughly a mile and a half short of us. Finish the trip on a Metrobus up Biscayne (the GO Miami-Dade Transit app shows current routes and times), a Citi Bike Miami bike, or a rideshare to the building's drop-off on Biscayne Blvd, which is also the simplest option if you arrived on Brightline at MiamiCentral.
See our Downtown Miami page for more, or the Edgewater emergency dentist guide if you live closer to us.
Dr. Aakash Rana, DDS is a general dentist trained at NYU College of Dentistry, with more than $100,000 in continuing education. He plans and treats each case at Prana Dental himself, works with our in-house lab, and refers to a specialist when a case needs one.
If you hit your head, can't stop the bleeding or your jaw feels wrong, go to the ER. For a chipped, loosened or knocked-out tooth without those signs, keep any tooth or piece moist and call or text (786) 579-0521. Same-day appointments are available Monday to Saturday, 8am to 8pm.
That is what the 8am to 8pm hours are for, as long as you call or text first and tell us your window. The office is roughly 10 to 15 minutes north on Biscayne Blvd depending on traffic. Early mornings and evenings tend to be easier to reach than midday.
Yes, it should be checked the same day. Don't wiggle it; bite gently on clean gauze and avoid chewing with it. A loosened tooth can often be repositioned and stabilized, and that tends to go better when it happens soon after the injury.
It gets you close, but not to the door. Metromover stops in the Omni area, about a mile and a half south of the office, so plan on a short rideshare, a Metrobus along Biscayne Blvd or a bike for the last stretch.
(786) 579-0521. Same-day visits are possible Monday to Saturday, 8am to 8pm, when you reach us first.
