Severe toothache, swelling, broken or knocked-out tooth? Call now and we'll get you seen today. Walk-ins welcome in Southwest Houston, 6 days a week — most PPO insurance and Medicaid accepted.
Yes. Texas Dental Center welcomes walk-in emergency patients during business hours and we reserve same-day appointment slots specifically for urgent dental needs. While calling ahead at (832) 831-9101 helps reduce your wait time, you can come in directly if you're in pain.
Yes. We offer Saturday appointments (8:00 AM to 3:00 PM) specifically to serve Houston patients with dental emergencies who can't take time off during the week. Weekend hours allow us to handle toothaches, broken teeth, lost crowns, and abscesses without making you wait until Monday.
Common dental emergencies include severe toothache, knocked-out or fractured teeth, lost or broken crowns and fillings, swelling or abscesses, uncontrolled bleeding, and trauma to the mouth or jaw. If you're unsure, call us — our team can triage your situation over the phone and tell you whether you need to be seen immediately.
Emergency exams at Texas Dental Center start at around $75–$150 and include a panoramic X-ray to diagnose the problem. Treatment costs vary by procedure (extraction, filling, root canal, etc.) and are quoted upfront before any work begins. We accept most PPO insurance plans and offer CareCredit financing.
Pick up the tooth by the crown (not the root), gently rinse it with milk or saline if dirty, and try to place it back in the socket. If you can't, store it in milk or saliva and get to our office within 30–60 minutes for the best chance of saving the tooth. Call (832) 831-9101 immediately so we can prepare for your arrival.
Yes. Dental abscesses require prompt treatment to prevent the infection from spreading. We provide same-day relief through incision and drainage, antibiotics, and definitive treatment such as root canal therapy or extraction depending on the tooth's condition. Do not wait — abscesses can become a medical emergency if left untreated.
Texas Dental Center is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM and Saturday from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM. We are closed on Sunday. Saturday hours mean Houston patients can reach an emergency dentist on the weekend without waiting until Monday.
Yes. You do not need dental insurance to be seen for an emergency. We treat uninsured patients every day and quote all treatment costs upfront before any work begins. We accept cash, credit, and offer monthly financing through Cherry, CareCredit, and Alphaeon so you can spread emergency care over affordable payments.
Most emergency patients who call (832) 831-9101 during business hours are seen the same day, often within an hour or two. We reserve same-day appointment blocks specifically for emergencies and accept walk-ins. If you arrive during open hours in severe pain, swelling, or with active bleeding, you will be triaged immediately.
Yes. When a tooth is infected or abscessed and root canal therapy is the right treatment, we can usually begin or complete the procedure the same day as your emergency exam. Same-day root canals stop the pain fast, save the natural tooth, and avoid the need for a separate appointment.
