Your Emergency, Our Priority

Your Emergency, Our Priority
What can we do if we see you on an emergency basis? We will start right away by diagnosing the cause of your problem. Your dental emergency could result from something as simple as a stuck piece of food that can’t be removed with floss. We will find it, remove it and disinfect the area.
In case of an abscess, our team quickly relieves your pain and provides the necessary antibiotics. This should improve your tooth pain until you can schedule a regular office visit for a more complete resolution.
A broken tooth may be able to be repaired and a loosened tooth can be secured in the jaw so healing can start.
Our holistic dentistry care starts with a detailed assessment to solve your problem at the source.



Quick Care When Every Minute Counts

Quick Care When Every Minute Counts
When a person is seen by an emergency dentist quickly enough after knocking out a tooth, it might be possible to clean that tooth and restore it to the jawbone. This action must take place within 30 minutes.
We have the skills and the facilities to repair your unexpected injury or dental damage and relieve your pain. Then we can schedule you for further appointments to complete your treatment.
When you need an emergency dentist in Bay Harbor, please call Smile Creators in Bay Harbor.
We will see a patient in pain even during evening hours.

With over 27 years of experience, Dr. Anatoly Ripa has been transforming smiles and enriching lives with his skilled, compassionate approach.

Fluent in English, Russian, and Ukrainian, Dr. Ripa is a trusted provider for a diverse patient base in Bal Harbour, where he resides with his beloved family.

If you have a knocked-out tooth, try to gently place it back in its socket without touching the root. If that’s not possible, keep it moist in milk or saliva and get to our office immediately. Quick action often makes the difference in saving the tooth.
A dental problem is considered an emergency if you are experiencing severe pain, heavy bleeding, facial swelling, or have a broken or knocked-out tooth. If you’re unsure, call Smile Creators right away, and we’ll guide you on whether immediate care is needed.
Yes. Dr. Ripa and the team at Smile Creators prioritize patients in pain. We offer same-day appointments whenever possible to relieve discomfort, identify the cause, and provide treatment to protect your oral health.
Lost restorations can cause sensitivity and put your tooth at risk of damage. Call our office as soon as possible. In the meantime, avoid chewing on that side and keep the area clean until we can replace or repair it.
Yes, we welcome emergency walk-ins and strive to see patients promptly. Calling ahead allows us to prepare, but if you’re in urgent need, come to our Bay Harbor office, and we’ll make sure you’re cared for as quickly as possible.

I came here to have a consultation and cleaning and they did an amazing job my teeth feel much better! All the staff were so kind and accommodating. The hygienist did an excellent job and the front desk staff very kindly watched my son whilst I was getting the cleaning. I will definitely come back!

I had such a great experience here! The clinic was spotless and welcoming, and the staff were incredibly friendly from the moment I walked in. The dental assistant was wonderful, and the doctor took the time to give me really helpful advice. I also loved the little details, the comfy chair with a leg massager and a big TV on the ceiling made the visit surprisingly relaxing. Definitely recommend!

4th time back! I’m from the Bahamas and every time I visit Miami within the year I get my general cleaning. Oudyls (sorry if I misspelt her name) was my Hygienist and she was awesome! She was kind, patient and VERY thorough with my cleanings. She always asked if I was comfortable throughout. Going back end of the year to do some other dental work. Everyone is nice, friendly and professional. I Would highly recommend this office to anyone needing dental work in Miami.

I had an amazing experience at smile creators. I came in for an airflow cleaning, and it was by far the most comfortable and thorough cleaning I’ve ever had. The staff is very welcoming, the hygienist explained everything clearly, and the results were fantastic. My teeth feel so clean and smooth without any discomfort. Also prepare for a nice leg massage and tv shows of your preference while getting your cleaning done. Highly recommend this office to anyone looking for a modern, gentle approach to dental care.
