Our Phoenix office is open Saturdays from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and we take emergency patients the same day. Call (602) 737-2446 and we'll hold you a time, or walk in. Sunday is different: the office is closed, but a real person answers the phone and holds you Monday's first slot at 7:00 AM.
A Saturday visit starts the way every visit does, with a $45 emergency exam and X-rays. The $45 covers the emergency exam and diagnostic X-rays. Treatment is priced separately and quoted to you in writing before any work starts.

Saturday dentist in Phoenix: open 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Our Saturday schedule runs 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and every procedure on our service list is available that day, from a filling to a surgical extraction. Walk-ins are welcome on Saturday, and calling ahead lets us have a room ready.
That matters because dental pain has a habit of showing up Friday night. A filling falls out at dinner. A wisdom tooth that's been grumbling all week finally flares. In each case you can call us, get a time that same day, and be treated instead of counting the hours until Monday.
What we treat on a weekend
Nothing on our service list is weekday-only. On a Saturday our dentists handle:
- Severe toothache relief
- Emergency tooth extraction, including surgical extractions
- Emergency root canal for an infected or abscessed tooth
- Dental abscess treatment and drainage
- Broken or chipped tooth repair
- Knocked-out tooth re-implantation attempts
- Emergency wisdom tooth extraction
- Lost filling or crown replacement
What happens at a Saturday emergency visit
You check in, and one of our dentists examines the tooth and takes diagnostic X-rays. That's the $45 part. The dentist then explains what's wrong in plain terms and gives you a price for the fix before doing anything. If you agree, treatment usually follows in the same chair, in the same visit.
If you're nervous about the procedure, say so when you call. Bring your insurance card if you carry one, and bring the crown or the tooth if either is in your hand.
Is there a Sunday emergency dentist in Phoenix?
Not this one, and we'd rather say that clearly than let you drive over to a closed office.
What Sunday does get you is a live person on the phone. Call (602) 737-2446 any time on Sunday and they'll take down what's going on and hold you the first Monday slot at 7:00 AM.
Until then, a cold compress on the cheek and an over-the-counter pain reliever taken as the label directs can take the edge off. If swelling spreads toward your eye or your throat, or breathing gets difficult, go to an emergency room, and call us afterward for the tooth itself. We wrote more about your Sunday options in this article on Sunday dental emergencies in Phoenix.
After hours dentist in Phoenix: evenings after 5pm
The office closes at 5:00 PM, Monday through Saturday, and the first appointment of the next day is at 7:00 AM.
When you call after closing, the answering service picks up and books you a 7:00 AM appointment for the next morning. A call at 9:00 PM on a Wednesday gets you a Thursday 7:00 AM slot. A call at 9:00 PM on a Saturday gets you Monday at 7:00 AM.
"24/7" on this site means the phone, not the office. A person answers it around the clock; the office keeps the hours above.

What a weekend emergency visit costs
The $45 exam and X-rays come first. Treatment is priced after the dentist has seen the X-ray, and you get that price before any work starts. We accept cash and most major PPO plans, including Cigna, Aetna, Delta Dental, Guardian and Principal. Payment plans through CareCredit, Cherry and HFD are available too. The cost and insurance page walks through how pricing works.
Frequently asked questions
Are you open every Saturday?
Saturday is part of our regular schedule: Monday through Saturday, 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM. If you're unsure about a specific date, call (602) 737-2446 and the person who answers can confirm.
Is the office open around the clock?
No. The office is open 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Saturday, and closed Sunday. The phone is what's answered around the clock. When you call outside those hours a live person takes your information and holds you the next available slot, which is 7:00 AM the next morning or 7:00 AM Monday.
Can I walk in on a Saturday without calling?
Yes. Walk-ins are welcome any day we're open, Saturday included. Calling first means we can have a room ready when you pull in, but it isn't required. If you're already on 35th Avenue with a throbbing tooth, come straight in.
Can I be seen on Sunday if I call early enough?
No, and we won't say otherwise. The office is closed Sunday regardless of when you call. What we can do is hold you Monday's 7:00 AM slot the moment you phone, so you're first through the door. If swelling or bleeding can't wait, an emergency room is the right call on Sunday.
