We are here to help you get out of pain fast. At our Southeast office, we’ll do everything possible to accommodate you today. We prioritize emergencies and can usually provide same-day treatment to get you relief. For the fastest appointment, please call us. Our website’s schedule may not reflect a last-minute opening that has just become available.

Yes – Walk-in patients are welcome. We understand that you can’t schedule dental emergencies, so you can come straight to us. A quick call before you head over is helpful (especially with Houston traffic) so we can expect you and get you seen as quickly as possible.

We accept most major dental insurance plans. If you have private dental insurance, there’s a good chance we can utilize it for your emergency visit. Our staff will even assist you in filing your insurance claim to streamline the process. Please note that we do not accept Medicaid or other state-funded insurance programs. If you’re unsure about your coverage, please feel free to call us with your insurance details, and we’ll be happy to verify what your plan covers.

No. Getting emergency treatment at our Southeast Houston clinic won’t cost more than a standard dental visit. We don’t add extra fees just because you need care outside of typical hours. Our prices are based on average dental fees in the Houston area, so you’ll find our charges comparable to those of other local dentists. As always, we will inform you of the expected cost before any procedure, allowing you to make an informed decision without any surprises.

No, we are not open 24/7. While our office stays open late (until 9:00pm) and operates seven days a week (even on most holidays) we do close overnight. Generally, our hours are 9:00am to 9:00pm each day. We take our last patients an hour before closing, so it’s best to contact us as early as possible if you need to be seen the same day. If you experience a dental emergency in the middle of the night when we’re closed, you can book an appointment online for the next morning or call us as soon as we open, and we’ll fit you in promptly.

Yes. We offer multiple financing options to meet your unique needs and help make your emergency dental care affordable. We understand that an unplanned dental expense can be challenging, so we’ve partnered with reputable third-party financing companies that can approve patients for low monthly payments (often with low or even zero interest promotional periods). We also accept all major credit and debit cards for your convenience. Don’t let worries about cost stop you from getting the treatment you need. Contact us, and we’ll find a payment solution that suits your needs.

Yes – in most cases, we can perform a tooth extraction (including wisdom teeth) or root canal on the spot, the same day you come in. Our emergency dentist will first evaluate your situation with an exam and X-rays. If it turns out you need a tooth pulled or a root canal to remove an infection, we can typically begin that treatment immediately. Many patients who come in with severe tooth pain end up getting the problem tooth extracted or the root canal procedure started right away, which provides almost instant relief. On occasion, if your case is very complex or you have significant swelling or infection, we might schedule a follow-up visit once things stabilize or refer you to a specialist. Our goal is to resolve your dental emergency during your initial visit whenever possible.

Yes — our Southeast Houston office is open seven days a week, including weekends. We recognize that dental emergencies can happen on any day, so we make sure to be available on Saturdays and Sundays from 9:00am to 9:00pm. That means you won’t have to wait until Monday to address a bad toothache or other urgent dental issue. Weekend appointment slots can fill up quickly, so we encourage you to call us or book online to secure a time that works for you.
