A dental emergency does not wait for a convenient moment. Whether it is sudden severe pain, a chipped tooth, or unexpected swelling, getting to the right place quickly makes all the difference. At LALUME Dental Studio, Dr. Shahira Saad, a UCLA-trained dentist who graduated Summa Cum Laude, leads a Newport Beach team built around comfort, precision, and emergency dentistry care that puts your long-term oral health first.
When an emergency strikes, you deserve a team that moves fast and treats you with care. Here is what sets our approach apart.
We prioritize emergency patients so you are not left waiting. Our goal is to assess, diagnose, and begin treatment in a single visit whenever possible.
Dr. Saad's philosophy centers on preserving as much of your natural tooth structure as possible. Every treatment recommendation is guided by what is clinically best for your long-term health.
Our visiting periodontist, Dr. Bakian, joins us monthly to handle advanced procedures, meaning you may not need a referral outside our office.
Not every dental concern requires an urgent visit, but some situations genuinely cannot wait. If you are experiencing any of the following, reaching out to our office right away is the right call.
Common dental emergencies include:
Getting prompt care for these situations may help prevent further damage, reduce the risk of infection, and preserve your natural tooth whenever possible.
Delaying treatment can turn a manageable problem into a far more serious one. As the National Institutes of Health notes, untreated dental emergencies may become extremely painful and can progress to serious infections affecting the face and neck. By acting quickly and connecting with our team, you give your smile the best chance at a full, healthy recovery.
At LALUME Dental Studio, our approach to emergency care is rooted in the same minimally invasive philosophy that guides everything we do. Dr. Saad will conduct a thorough evaluation to understand the full picture before recommending any treatment. Our goal is always to preserve as much of your natural tooth structure as possible while addressing the problem at hand.

Whatever the cause, you can count on honest, compassionate guidance and a personalized treatment plan that puts your health and comfort first.
When a dental emergency strikes, getting to our office as quickly as possible is always the best step. In the meantime, there are a few things you may do to manage discomfort:
Tips for managing dental pain at home include:
These steps are temporary measures only. They do not replace professional dental care, and reaching out to our team as soon as possible remains your best course of action.
Patients from Huntington Beach trust LALUME because Dr. Saad’s philosophy is prevention-first, not reaction-first. This means we look beyond the immediate emergency to understand what may have caused it. In these cases, addressing underlying issues, such as bite imbalance through Invisalign, may help prevent future damage and protect your smile long-term.
Our studio was designed to feel welcoming and calm, even in stressful moments. Ceiling-mounted Netflix screens, noise-canceling headphones, aromatherapy, and private treatment rooms ensure that even an emergency visit feels as comfortable as possible. Dr. Saad completed her advanced education in general dentistry residency at UCLA Venice, giving Huntington Beach patients access to outstanding clinical care close to home.
We do our best to prioritize emergency patients and get you seen as quickly as possible. Calling our office directly at (949) 200-7248 is the fastest way to reach us and discuss your situation.
We accept most PPO insurance plans. Coverage for emergency treatment may vary depending on your plan. Our team may be able to help you understand your benefits and explore financing options through Cherry Financing or CareCredit if needed.
If your situation requires specialty treatment, such as a dental implant, extraction, or another advanced procedure, Dr. Bakian visits our office monthly and may be able to address your needs without a referral outside our practice.
Yes. We welcome patients across all age groups, from young adults to those in the 55+ community, and our team takes a personalized approach with every individual who walks through our doors.
