How an emergency visit works at Weekend Dental
Our goal is simple: get you out of pain, explain what’s going on, and help you choose the best next step —all in the same visit whenever possible.
1. Check-in and quick evaluation
When you arrive, will get your basic information and bring you back as soon as we can. You’ll tell us what happened, what hurts, and how long you’ve been in pain.
2. X-rays and diagnosis
Take any needed X-rays and perform an exam to find the source of the problem. Explain what we see in clear, simple language.
3. Same-day treatment whenever possible
Whenever we can, will start treatment the same day — whether that’s a filling, medication, or removing a tooth that can’t be saved.
Insurance & payment options
We are Fee-For-Service.
We don't work with insurance companies directly. We will give you exact price before treatment. If you have private insurance, we’ll submit a claim on your behalf, and your insurance company may reimburse you directly.
We offer a financing option–
so you can get out of pain first and then pay overtime. If you have questions about cost before you come in, call us at (618) 727-7565 and our team will walk you through what to expect.
Emergency exam & pricing
We believe you should know what to expect before you walk in — especially when you’re already stressed.
