Emergency Dentist in Austin, TX — Same-Day Care at myDental Ben White
Tooth pain, a broken crown, or a sudden swelling shouldn’t have to wait. Our Ben White team holds same-day emergency openings every weekday plus alternating Saturdays for patients across South Austin, Zilker, and Barton Hills. Call us, get seen quickly, and walk out comfortable.
A Dental Emergency in South Austin Doesn’t Have to Ruin Your Day
A cracked molar grabbing lunch on South Lamar, a child’s chipped tooth at a Zilker birthday party, or unbearable jaw pain that woke you up in Barton Hills — emergencies don’t pick a convenient time. Driving across Austin while your tooth throbs, or sitting in an ER waiting room that can’t actually treat dental problems, only makes things harder.
At myDental Ben White, we hold same-day openings specifically for emergencies, weekdays plus alternating Saturdays. Our office sits right on Ben White Boulevard near the I-35 interchange — just minutes from Travis Heights, Zilker, Barton Hills, and downtown. Get in, get out of pain, and get back to your day.
What Counts as a Dental Emergency?
Not sure whether your situation needs urgent attention? If something hurts, looks broken, is bleeding, or is swelling, don’t wait it out — call our Ben White office. These are the emergencies we treat most often for South Austin patients.
Intense, pulsing pain that doesn’t respond to ibuprofen — usually a sign of decay reaching the nerve or an underlying infection
Damage from biting hard food, a sports injury, or a fall — sharp edges and exposed inner layers need prompt repair
Every minute counts — a knocked-out adult tooth has the best chance of being saved if you reach us within 30 to 60 minutes
Gum swelling, fever, or a painful bump near a tooth root — abscesses need treatment quickly to keep infection from spreading
Same-Day Emergency Dental Treatments at Ben White
Our Ben White dentists are equipped to handle the full range of dental emergencies in a single appointment. Here’s what we treat most often for South Austin patients.
Tooth Repair
Dental bonding, splinting, or same-day temporary crowns to fix cracked, chipped, or loosened teeth — restoring strength and stopping pain in one visit.
Root Canal Therapy
When decay or trauma reaches the tooth’s nerve, root canal therapy clears the infection and saves your natural tooth so we can avoid extraction.
Emergency Extraction
If a tooth is beyond repair, we perform safe, gentle extractions and immediately discuss replacement options like dental implants or bridges.
Abscess & Infection Treatment
Drainage of dental abscesses, targeted antibiotics, and treatment of the underlying tooth so infection doesn’t spread to surrounding tissue or bone.
Your Emergency Visit at myDental Ben White, Step by Step
We’ve streamlined the emergency process so you spend less time waiting and more time healing. Here’s exactly what happens when you call our Ben White office.
Call or Book a Same-Day Appointment
Call (512) 612-5645 and tell us about your emergency. We’ll work you into the schedule right away — most South Austin patients are seen the same day, often within the hour. We’re open Monday through Friday plus alternating Saturdays.
Thorough Diagnosis
Your dentist conducts a focused exam using digital X-rays to pinpoint the exact problem. We walk you through the findings on screen and explain your options clearly before any treatment begins.
Fast Pain Relief
Comfort comes first. We administer local anesthesia, drain pressure from an abscess, or prescribe medication so the pain stops quickly and treatment can proceed smoothly.

Most emergencies are fully resolved in one appointment. If follow-up care is needed, we schedule it before you leave and send you home with detailed aftercare instructions in English or Spanish.

Your Emergency Dentistry Questions, Answered

Yes. We hold dedicated time slots every day we’re open for dental emergencies at our Ben White location. We’re open Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 6 PM and on alternating Saturdays from 9 AM to 3 PM. Call (512) 612-5645 to confirm Saturday availability and we’ll work you in as quickly as possible — often within the hour. If you need care outside our open hours, please call our line and follow the after-hours instructions, or visit your nearest hospital emergency room for severe swelling or trauma.
The cost depends on the specific treatment you need. We start with a diagnostic exam and digital X-rays, then provide a clear cost estimate before beginning any work. We accept most PPO insurance plans, offer flexible monthly financing, and have the myDental Plan for patients without insurance. You’ll always know your costs before treatment begins — no surprises.
We accept most major PPO dental insurance plans for emergency care — our front desk will verify your benefits before treatment. Medicaid acceptance varies by location and plan, so please call (512) 612-5645 to confirm your specific Medicaid coverage at the Ben White office. If you don’t have insurance, our myDental Plan covers exams, X-rays, and discounts on treatment.
Handle the tooth by the crown only — never touch the root. If you can, gently rinse it and place it back into the socket. If that’s not possible, store it in a cup of milk or hold it inside your cheek to keep it moist. Then call (512) 612-5645 immediately. The faster you reach our Ben White office, the better the odds of saving the tooth — ideally within 30 minutes.
The pain may ease temporarily, but the underlying cause — whether it’s decay, a crack, or infection — won’t resolve on its own. Delaying treatment usually makes the problem worse and more expensive to fix. If you have persistent or recurring tooth pain, schedule a visit before it escalates into a larger emergency.
Yes — a dental abscess is a serious infection that requires prompt professional treatment. Left untreated, the infection can spread to your jaw, head, neck, or even your bloodstream. If you notice swelling, a persistent bad taste, fever, or a painful bump on your gums, call our Ben White office right away. If you experience difficulty breathing or swallowing, go to the nearest emergency room immediately.
Yes. We know dental emergencies are stressful and that anxiety makes things harder. Our Ben White office offers nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oral sedation to help you stay calm and comfortable during emergency treatment. Learn more about our sedation options.
