Do you need an emergency dentist during this time of social distancing? Promptly addressing a dental emergency can make the difference between keeping or losing a tooth. Whether you are an existing or a new patient, our dental office is open for dental emergencies.
Not all dental emergencies require immediate attention in the dental office, but we are here to help you through them. If your dental emergency happens during normal business hours, please call or text our dental office at 512-795-0128 at the first sign that something could be wrong for emergency dentistry from our Austin, TX dentist.
Accidents don’t always happen during a normal workday, so we offer an after-hours dental emergency texting option. You may text us at 855-359-8326 and a team member will reach out to you.
If you’re experiencing pain in your mouth, the first thing you should do is contact our Derby Dental team.

Otherwise, your condition could worsen and end up requiring a more expensive procedure. Whether you need a round of antibiotics to address an infection, a crown to restore a broken tooth, or a tooth extraction to preserve your total oral health, we can’t determine your costs until we’ve examined your mouth. We’ll be sure to create a treatment plan that gets you out of pain without breaking the bank.
It’s always best to retain your natural smile whenever possible, which is why we only recommend tooth extractions as a last resort. However, removing a tooth that is damaged beyond repair is sometimes the best option to preserve your overall smile. We’ll make sure you’re comfortable when extracting a tooth and provide you with detailed aftercare guidelines. Then, we can discuss your options for replacing the tooth, such as a dental implant.
