We welcome walk-in patients at San Antonio Emergency Dental Care. You do not need an appointment if you have a sudden dental emergency; you can simply come to our office, and we will accommodate you as quickly as possible. We know that tooth pain or accidents often come without warning, making it impossible to schedule ahead. If you prefer, you can call us or book online to reserve a spot, which might shorten your wait time, but it’s not required. Either way, if you need urgent dental care, please visit us, and we’ll ensure you’re well taken care of.

We accept most major dental insurance plans at our San Antonio location. If you have private dental insurance, chances are we can work with it to cover your emergency dental care. Our team can assist in filing your insurance claim to help maximize your benefits. Please note that we do not accept Medicaid or other state-funded insurance programs. If you’re uncertain about whether your plan is accepted, simply call or stop in.

We frequently see patients without insurance. You simply pay for your treatment directly or with one of our financing options. We also accept cash as well as major credit and debit cards. Don’t let the lack of insurance keep you from addressing a dental emergency.  We will help you find a payment solution that allows you to get the care you need.

No. An emergency visit to our San Antonio clinic costs about the same as a regular dental appointment. We don’t charge a premium just because you’re coming in with an urgent issue or during extended hours. Our fees are in line with standard dental rates in the San Antonio area, so you’ll find our pricing comparable to other local dentists. And of course, we will let you know the expected cost of any treatment before we proceed, so you won’t be caught off guard by the bill.

No, we’re not a 24-hour dentist. However, we do have extended hours. In San Antonio, we’re open until 9:00pm and we’re here every day of the week. Generally, our hours are 9:00am to 9:00pm daily, and we accept our last new patients about an hour before closing time. If you have a dental emergency very late at night when our office is closed, you can use our online booking tool to schedule the first available appointment for the next day, or call us when we open in the morning, and we’ll get you in as soon as possible.

Yes, we do offer financing options to help with the cost of treatment. We understand that a dental emergency is an unexpected expense, so we’ve partnered with trusted healthcare financing companies like CareCredit, Alphaeon, and Sunbit, which can often approve patients for low monthly payments on the spot. Some plans even come with promotional periods of low or no interest. You’re also welcome to use any major credit or debit card. The bottom line is that if you need financial assistance for your dental care, we will work with you to find a solution so you can receive the treatment you need without delay.

That is what we do best. In the majority of cases, our San Antonio emergency dentist can perform a tooth extraction (including wisdom teeth) or start a root canal on the same day as your visit. We will examine your tooth and take an X-ray to determine the best course of action. If the evaluation shows that you need a tooth pulled or require a root canal to eliminate an infection, we’ll typically proceed with treatment right away. Many patients who come in with intense tooth pain leave that very day with the problem tooth removed or the root canal therapy underway, which brings immediate relief. Only in rare scenarios, such as a highly complicated case or a severe infection that requires resolution, would we delay treatment or refer you to a specialist. Our priority is to treat your emergency during your initial visit whenever possible.

Yes – our San Antonio office is open on weekends. In fact, we operate seven days a week, as dental emergencies can occur at any time. Our Saturday and Sunday hours are 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., so you can receive care on the weekend without waiting until Monday. Keep in mind that weekends tend to be busy, so it’s wise to call ahead or book an appointment online to make sure you can be seen at a convenient time.
