The fastest way to reach us

Call (512) 520-0787. Tooth problems are poorly suited to email, because the answer depends on two details that take four seconds to say out loud: which tooth, and whether there is any swelling. A phone call also lets us check live availability rather than promising a slot that is gone by the time you read a reply.

If you would rather write, use the callback form on this page and tell us what happened, which tooth, whether there is swelling, and the best number to reach you. We will call you back rather than reply in writing, for the same reason.

What to have ready

• Which tooth, as best you can point to it — upper or lower, front or back, left or right
• When it started, and whether it is getting worse
• Whether there is swelling, a fever, or a bad taste
• What you have already taken for it, and when
• Your insurance details if you have them, though you can be seen without

When not to contact us first

Call 911, not us, if you have trouble breathing or swallowing, swelling that is spreading toward your eye or down your neck, bleeding you cannot control, or a suspected broken jaw after an accident. Those belong in a hospital. ER or emergency dentist sets out the line clearly, and what counts as a dental emergency covers everything on the dental side of it.

Hours, and what happens after hours

You can call at any hour. Overnight and on Sundays the answer sometimes is an early-morning appointment rather than a chair tonight — the 24 hour dentist page and the Sunday page explain what is genuinely available and when. If you are waiting until morning, tooth pain at night is the page that will help most in the meantime.

Getting seen across Austin

We work with emergency dentists in Downtown Austin, South Austin, East Austin, North Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Pflugerville, Georgetown, Kyle, Buda, Leander, Lakeway and the rest of Travis County. If you have been searching for an emergency dentist near me, the useful thing to know is that the nearest office is often not the fastest one. I-35 and MoPac can turn a fifteen-minute drive into forty, so we look at who has an open chair rather than who is geographically closest.

Austin also has its own rhythm. Same-day slots disappear earlier in the day during South by Southwest, Austin City Limits and the first weeks of the UT semester, and holiday weekends run on reduced coverage. If something has been bothering you and one of those weeks is coming, deal with it before it becomes an overnight problem.

Nights, weekends and walk-ins

Very few Austin practices are staffed around the clock, but you can almost always reach an on-call dentist by phone and get an early-morning appointment — see whether there is a 24 hour emergency dentist in Austin. Sundays are covered by a rotating group of practices, which the Sunday page explains. Some offices take walk-in patients, but walk-in capacity is usually gone by mid-morning, so one phone call to (512) 520-0787 beats driving between waiting rooms.

If the pain has woken you up, tooth pain at night covers what actually helps until morning, and how long you can wait tells you whether this is an hours problem or a days problem.
