Why Patients Choose Us
Why Tyler Patients Call Our Office in a Crisis
Sedation Available Today
CRNA-Led Pain Relief
When a Tyler emergency is too painful to address awake, our in-house CRNA can often sedate the same day. Most Tyler dental offices cannot match this for an unscheduled walk-in.
3D CBCT Imaging
Diagnose Trauma in Minutes
Tyler patients with cracked teeth, suspected root fractures, or facial trauma get imaged on Rice Road in minutes, not referred out to a Tyler imaging center for a separate appointment.
Six-Doctor Coverage
Someone Is Almost Always Available
With six doctors at the Tyler office, the odds of getting you seen on a difficult day are higher than at a one-doctor or two-doctor practice. Coverage is built in.
About Emergency Dentistry in Tyler
Dental emergencies in Tyler rarely happen at convenient times. A cracked tooth on a Saturday morning in Whitehouse, a swollen jaw before a Monday flight from Tyler Pounds, or a broken filling on a vacation day at Lake Tyler. Our Rice Road office holds same-day slots specifically for these situations, so when a Tyler-area patient calls in pain, we have a place to put them on the schedule today rather than asking them to wait until next week.
What makes our Tyler emergency program different is what we can finish in a single visit. Six doctors at the Rice Road office means surgical, restorative, and prosthetic expertise are all in the building at once. Our in-house CRNA can sedate same-day cases. Our 3D CBCT scanner diagnoses fractures and infections in minutes. Our on-site Tyler lab can fabricate a same-day temporary crown if the emergency leaves a visible gap. That continuity is unusual for emergency dentistry in East Texas.
If you are in pain right now in Tyler, Whitehouse, Bullard, Flint, or anywhere in Smith County, call our Rice Road office. If it is after hours, our line routes to a person who will triage you and confirm a slot, often first thing the next morning. Bring a medication list, photo ID, and a designated driver if sedation is on the table.

“I broke a front tooth at a wedding rehearsal in Tyler and was panicking. The Rice Road office got me in within two hours, scanned, repaired, and out before the actual ceremony. Dr. Hampton even adjusted the shade for the photos. I cannot say enough.”

FAQs
Common questions from Tyler patients
Please call before you drive to Rice Road, even five minutes ahead. A quick call lets us prep an operatory and confirm a doctor and CBCT slot are ready for you. Walk-ins are seen when possible, but Tyler patients who call ahead are seen faster.
Place the tooth in milk or your cheek pocket, do not scrub it, and head to our Tyler Rice Road office immediately. The 30 to 60 minute window matters. From Whitehouse or Bullard you are inside that drive time. We will image, clean the socket, and attempt reimplantation.
Often, yes, when our CRNA is on Rice Road that day. Call the Tyler office immediately so we can confirm sedation availability. If same-day sedation is not possible, we get you out of pain today and schedule sedated treatment within 24 to 48 hours.
An emergency exam with a 3D scan at our Rice Road office is typically $150 to $300, with treatment costs added based on findings. We give Tyler patients written pricing before any treatment so checkout is never a surprise.
Yes. Tyler patients with painful swelling and abscesses are some of the most common emergency cases we see. We drain, prescribe antibiotics, and start definitive treatment the same day on Rice Road, often under IV sedation if needed.
Our Tyler line routes after-hours callers to a real person who triages your case and confirms the next available slot, often first thing the next morning at Rice Road. For airway-compromising swelling, go to a Tyler ER first, then call us in the morning for follow-up.
