General and Family Dentist — Same-Day Appointments Availability

Teeth cleanings and preventive exams usually occur six months apart. In between visits, brushing and flossing is crucial. But what if you experience a dental emergency or need oral health care between those regularly scheduled visits?

At SolidSMILES Dental in Lewisville, Texas, Hiral Patel, DDS, provides general and family dentistry with same-day appointment availability.  Here, she explains why you might need a same-day dental appointment and discusses how to schedule one.

The difference between general and family dentistry

Before we get into reasons for same-day dentistry, let’s look at the difference between general and family dentistry.

General dentistry

General dentistry provides basic oral health care for adults. This includes preventive exams, teeth cleanings, and dental X-rays. Dr. Patel also offers specialty services, including dental implants, cosmetic dentistry, and dentures.

Family dentistry

Family dentistry provides basic oral health care for every member of your family, from infants to adults. This means you and your children can receive high-quality dentistry under the same roof without seeing multiple providers.

When to consider same-day dentistry

There are various reasons to consider same-day dentistry at SolidSMILES Dental, including:

Dental emergencies

If you or your child suffer a dental emergency, such as a knocked-out tooth or a gum laceration that won’t stop bleeding, visiting an emergency dentist is crucial. Prompt attention can reduce the risk of complications and preserve your oral health. 

Dr. Patel always makes time for same-day emergency dentistry appointments. She can identify the source of your discomfort and treat it quickly. 

Cosmetic concerns

Cosmetic concerns, like yellow or chipped teeth, can make you feel self-conscious, especially if you have an upcoming event, like a wedding or work presentation. Same-day cosmetic services, like in-office teeth whitening and same-day crowns, can transform your smile and prevent the issue from worsening.

Having a busy schedule

A busy schedule can make it difficult to keep regularly scheduled dental appointments. Dr. Patel understands, which is one reason she provides same-day dentistry. 

How to schedule a same-day dentistry appointment

Dr. Patel is committed to making dental care accessible for all, regardless of need. That’s why she offers several ways to schedule a same-day general or family dentistry appointment. 

If you aren’t in a hurry, you can call the office as soon as the practice opens to check appointment availability or use the online booking feature to schedule a same-day appointment. 

However, if you or your child have an emergency or don’t want to wait, simply walk into the office during normal business hours. We can’t guarantee Dr. Patel can see you immediately, but she always makes room for same-day visits.
