Can I Just Turn Up at a Dentist? Walk-In Policy Explained

"Can I just walk in?" We see this question a lot.

The short answer is: Please call us first! While we absolutely prioritize emergencies at Revital Dental, calling ahead ensures we can prep a room for you immediately.

Our Same-Day Policy

If you are in Temple or Belton and experiencing:

  • Severe tooth pain (throbbing/keeping you awake)
  • A knocked-out tooth
  • A broken crown
  • Swelling in the jaw

Call (254) 227-5777 immediately. We reserve spots in our daily schedule specifically for these situations. Even if you don't have an appointment, we will do everything possible to squeeze you in for relief.

What if it's after hours?

Leave us a voicemail. For severe swelling that impacts breathing or trauma to the face, please go to the nearest ER in Temple immediately.
