How far is our office from Alhambra?
Six miles, about. Alhambra covers the 85015, 85017, and 85019 zip codes. Christown Spectrum sits at 19th Avenue and Bethany Home, with Abrazo Central Campus at the same intersection. Grand Canyon University is on Camelback Road.
We're north of all of that, at 10209 N 35th Ave Ste 129B, Phoenix, AZ 85051, on 35th Avenue between Dunlap and Peoria. Point the car north on 19th Avenue or 35th Avenue and you're here in 10 to 15 minutes. Parking is on site.
West of Alhambra, Maryvale patients make a longer trip, 20 to 25 minutes up 35th Avenue; their route is on the Maryvale page. The full list of neighborhoods is on our service area page.
Same-day emergency dental care for Alhambra patients
You call. A real person picks up, at any hour. During office hours, you get a time that day. After 5pm, you get 7am the next morning.
That's the whole system, and it works the same on Saturday. Phones are answered 24/7 by a live answering service, so a call at midnight still reaches a person; the office itself keeps the hours above. Bleeding that won't slow down and a face that's swelling on one side both count as emergencies. So does a tooth knocked loose in a fall, and so does pain that kept you awake. When in doubt, call and describe it. Walk-ins are welcome too; calling first just means the room is already set up when you walk through the door instead of after.
Our dentists treat what they find, in this office, on this visit. An emergency exam and X-rays come first, because a toothache near 19th Avenue can be a cavity, a cracked root, or an abscess, and each one gets a different fix. Once they know, they tell you the plan and the price, and then they get to work. Extractions, root canals, and repairs are all done here rather than sent elsewhere.
Open Saturdays for Alhambra
Saturday: 7am to 5pm, the same hours as a weekday. If you work weekdays near Christown and can't take a morning off, Saturday is the day to come in. If a GCU student chips a tooth on a Friday night, Saturday morning is fine; there's no need to wait through the weekend.
Sunday we're closed. The phone is still answered by a live person, and a Sunday call holds the first Monday appointment at 7am for you. Weekend and evening details live on the Saturday emergency dentist page.
What an emergency dental visit costs for Alhambra patients
The emergency exam and diagnostic X-rays are $45. Treatment is separate, and our dentists explain the cost of it before any work begins, once they've seen the X-rays and know what your tooth needs. You won't be asked to commit to anything before you've heard a number, and the $45 exam fee is the same on Saturday as on a weekday, and the same for a walk-in as for a booked visit.
Cash works, and so do most major PPO plans, including Cigna, Aetna, Delta Dental, Guardian, and Principal. CareCredit, Cherry, and HFD payment plans are available for anyone who'd rather pay over time. Read the cost and insurance page for the step-by-step of how a visit is priced.

Emergency dental services for Alhambra patients
Wisdom tooth pain shows up a lot in the college years, and when the tooth is impacted or infected, emergency wisdom tooth extraction is done here, often the same day; the dentist confirms after the X-ray. A lost filling or crown is less dramatic but still worth a same-day visit before the exposed tooth cracks. A knocked-out tooth is the one true race against the clock: keep it moist, keep it cool in the heat, and call us from the car.
