Toothache today? We hold same-day slots.

Show us where it hurts.

Family and emergency dentistry on South Lamar. Tap the tooth that's bugging you and we'll match the right visit.

  1. Look.

    Photos of your teeth go up on the screen beside you, so you see what we see before anything happens.

  2. Clean.

    Cleanings are booked for a full hour, with a hygienist who never has to rush you.

  3. Polish.

    Then the polish, and that smooth feeling you keep checking with your tongue on the drive home.

Which tooth is it?

Tap one tooth or a few, then tell us how it feels. We'll suggest the visit, who you'll see and roughly what it costs. Nothing is sent anywhere.

Use the arrow keys to move between teeth. Press Enter or Space to select a tooth.

No teeth picked yet. Tap the one that's bothering you.

How does it feel?

Your suggested visit shows up here. Start with a tooth or a feeling, either order works.

The dentist you stop putting off.

  • You see what we see.

    Photos of your teeth go up on the screen beside you before anyone recommends anything.

  • You know the cost first.

    A written estimate before treatment, every time. Self-pay prices are right on this page.

  • You're out on time.

    Cleanings get a full hour. If we run more than 15 minutes behind, your next cleaning is on us.

What people come in for

Six kinds of visits cover almost everything we do. Open one to see who you'll see, how long it takes and what it typically costs.

Questions people ask before booking

Do you take my insurance?

We're in network with most PPO plans and can file out-of-network claims for many others. Bring your card. We check your benefits before your visit and text you an estimate.

It hurts right now. Can I really be seen today?

Most weekdays, yes. Each dentist holds two toothache slots a day. Call (512) 555-0186 or book one above. If you have swelling that's spreading, or trouble breathing or swallowing, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.

I haven't been in years. Is that a problem?

Not at all, and there's no lecture. Your first visit is a look, a cleaning if you're comfortable, and a plan with prices. You set the pace.

I get nervous at the dentist. What helps?

Tell us when you book. We can schedule extra time, explain each step before it happens and agree on a stop signal. Headphones and a blanket are at every chair. Ask your dentist about other comfort options.

When should my child first come in?

We see kids from their first tooth. Many families start around the first birthday, and your dentist will suggest what fits your child.

What should I bring to my first visit?

Your ID and your insurance card if you have one. Your new-patient forms arrive by text and take a few minutes on your phone.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes. The Brightline Plan covers preventive care for a monthly fee, and larger treatment can be split into monthly payments. We go over the options with your estimate.

Same-day toothache slots most weekdays. Cleanings from 7:30 AM, before the MoPac crawl.
