Emergency Dental Care

Overview
For patients who are in pain and have urgent dental needs, University of Colorado Denver School of Dental Medicine has a walk-in Emergency Dental Clinic that sees patients on a first-come, first-served basis.  The Emergency Clinic reserves the right to prioritize the order in which patients are admitted to the clinic in certain situations.

Hours
The Emergency Dental Clinic is open Monday through Friday from 10am to 12 am; and 2 pm to 4pm and has two sessions: a morning session and an afternoon session.  We recommend that patients arrive early because the Emergency Clinic sometimes fills to capacity due to high demand.  The Emergency Clinic is especially busy on Mondays and the days after holidays. 

Fees
The basic Emergency Dental Clinic fee is between $ 75.00 to $ 100.00, which covers the emergency diagnostic exam and x-rays (charges may be higher or lower depending on the treatment provided).  If you need to have a tooth extracted, there will be additional fees, which will vary depending on the tooth location and the difficulty of the extraction.

Payment & Insurance
Payment is expected at the time of service.  The Emergency Dental Clinic accepts cash, personal checks, and Visa, MasterCard, and Discover credit and debit cards.

If you have dental insurance, we will provide you with payment documentation (i.e., a receipt and list of services provided) so that you can file a claim for reimbursement with your insurance company.
