Little Havana is a close, multigenerational neighborhood. Grandparents, parents and kids often share a home or live a few blocks apart, from the domino tables at Máximo Gómez Park to the shops along Calle Ocho and the Tower Theater. In a dental emergency, the person on the phone might be a grandchild calling for an abuela, or a parent with a crying child in the back seat. Our team speaks Spanish and English, so nobody has to translate under pressure.
Prana is a family practice, so we care for kids, teens and adults, including older patients with dentures, crowns or bridges. If you'd rather read about emergencies in Spanish, see our página de emergencias dentales en español.
Head to the ER instead if your child hit their head, vomits, seems unusually sleepy, or has bleeding that won't slow down.
For grandparents, emergencies often look different: a denture that cracks in half, a bridge that comes loose, or a tooth that has hurt quietly for months until the face starts to swell. Don't glue a broken denture at home, because the fit can change and rub sores into the gums. Put the pieces in a bag and bring them along. For a toothache, a warm water rinse and an over-the-counter pain reliever taken as the label directs can help until the visit. Avoid putting aspirin or homemade remedies directly on the gum, which can irritate it.
Swelling in the face, especially with a fever, needs attention quickly. If it spreads or makes swallowing or breathing hard, go to the ER right away.
Prana Dental is open. On, the ER remains the place for facial trauma, heavy bleeding, fever with swelling, or any difficulty breathing or swallowing.
Dr. Rana, a general dentist, examines the problem and explains it clearly, and our bilingual team makes sure everyone in the room understands the plan. Before any treatment, the cost is written down for you. Depending on what he finds, care might be a filling, a crown, a root canal, a denture repair or an extraction, and for complex cases Dr. Rana refers patients to an oral surgeon. Oral sedation is available for anyone who is anxious.
Most major dental insurance plans are accepted, and our bilingual team checks your benefits for you. For costs that aren't covered, 0% financing is available on approved credit through CareCredit, Cherry and LendingClub.
If a lost tooth needs replacing later, read about dental implants for Little Havana (a single implant from $1,999) or All-on-4® for Little Havana, a fixed full-arch option from $9,999 per arch for people tired of loose dentures. For front teeth, there are also veneers for Little Havana. Those start with a free first visit: exam, 3D scan and smile preview.
Most drives take about 15 to 25 minutes, depending on traffic. One route is I-95 north to I-195 east, then Biscayne Blvd south a few blocks to NE 30th Street. The other is SW 8th Street east toward downtown, then north on Biscayne Blvd. Prana Dental is at 3050 Biscayne Blvd, Suite 703, and you can park in the building or on the street.
Without a car, Metrobus routes run along Biscayne Blvd (check the GO Miami-Dade Transit app for current routes and times), and a rideshare can drop you at the building on Biscayne. Metromover doesn't reach Edgewater. For people who live near the office, there is also our Edgewater emergency guide.
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 it's a baby tooth, don't put it back; stop the bleeding with gauze and call us. If it's an adult tooth, hold it by the top, rinse it briefly, and put it back or keep it in milk, then come in as fast as possible. A head injury means the ER first.
No. We accept most major dental insurance and check your benefits for you, and if you don't have coverage you can ask about 0% financing on approved credit. Either way, the cost is confirmed in writing before treatment.
