Sometimes it’s sudden, a toothache that wasn’t there yesterday, a filling that fell out, or pain that’s finally too much to ignore. Other times you’ve already called around and heard the same thing everywhere: booked out for weeks.
We hold same-day openings specifically for situations like this. We’ll give you an honest read on how soon we can see you and what we can realistically get done in one visit.
"I need to see a dentist today, not next week."
"My tooth is killing me and I can't wait for a normal appointment."
"Every office I called said they're booked out for weeks."
"My denture broke and I need it fixed right away"
If any of that sounds familiar, call us. We'll ask a few quick questions, let you know honestly whether we can fit you in today, and get you on the schedule.
If you need to be seen today for a general concern, whether it’s a sudden problem or you’ve just been putting off a visit, call us and we’ll check what’s open.
Same-day care covers anything we can reasonably fit into today's schedule, from a quick exam to a full extraction, depending on what you need and how our day is looking when you call.
If an infected or badly damaged tooth needs to come out, or an infection has reached the nerve, we'll evaluate it and, when it's the right call, treat it the same visit.
We don't take walk-ins without a quick call first, so we can make sure a chair and the right dentist are ready for you. Call ahead and we'll do everything we can to fit you in.
We don't offer same-day crowns, but we do offer same-day appointments to get you out of pain & find out whether you actually need a crown in the first place. If you do, we'll walk you through the timeline honestly.
Insurance coverage varies by plan. We recommend calling us with your insurance information so we can confirm your benefits before your visit.
If you’re dealing with a broken or failing denture, or you’ve been putting off replacing missing teeth, you don’t have to wait weeks just to get started. We offer same-day dentures and same-day implants, so you can get moving on a real solution right away.
We hold appointment slots specifically for patients who need to be seen today, not next month.

WHAT OUR PATIENTS SAY
950+ five-star ratings on Google. Here’s what a few patients had to say about getting seen fast:
Absolutely amazing!! I had an emergency tooth that needed to be pulled and they got me in immediately! Such an easy experience and so gentle!! Awesome staff!!!
Had tooth pain all weekend, decided to give them a call at 8am, came in 9:30am and they took care of me and explained everything very well. They found I needed a root canal and we got it done the same day.
I called in for a same day emergency visit for my lower left wisdom tooth. I got in the same day thanks to the receptionist hearing me out and listening to my concerns. I was expecting to only get my lower left tooth pulled, but Dr. C and his team managed to pull not 1 but all 4 of my wisdom teeth at a last-minute emergency appointment. Next, it was time to get numb for the extractions (it was too late in the day for sedation). Dr. C and his team made sure my level of comfort was their top priority. With the help of Dr. C and his assistant Cheyenne, they overall made my experience one of the best. I will continue to visit this office even outside of emergencies! 10/10!

Often, yes. We hold same-day openings for both urgent needs and, when our schedule allows, routine visits. Call as early in the day as possible for the best chance of getting in.
In many cases, yes. If an infected tooth is causing significant pain or the infection needs prompt attention, we’ll evaluate it and, when it’s the right call, extract it the same visit.

We don’t take walk-ins without a quick call first, so we can make sure a chair and the right dentist are ready for you. Call ahead and we’ll do everything we can to fit you in the same day.
Sometimes yes, especially for one or two small cavities found during your visit. If you need more extensive work, we may recommend scheduling a separate visit so we can take the time to do it right.
