24-Hour & After-Hours Dental Options in Las Vegas
What to Do Tonight
Tooth pain doesn’t wait for regular business hours.
If you’re up late with a toothache, swelling, or broken tooth, you need to know what to do next — and where to go for help.
At Desert Hills Dental, we treat emergencies quickly during normal hours and help guide you through urgent dental issues that happen after hours.
Is your dental issue urgent?
If you’re experiencing any of the following, it may require attention tonight:
- Throbbing tooth pain that won’t let you sleep
- Swelling in your cheek, jaw, or gums
- A knocked-out or severely broken tooth
- Uncontrolled bleeding
- Pain after a recent dental procedure
- Signs of infection like fever, pus, or a bad taste in your mouth
If you’re unsure whether it’s an emergency, call us during office hours. After hours, read below for what steps to take next.
What to do right now (even if we’re closed)
Here are a few things you can do at home while you wait to see a dentist:
- For tooth pain: Take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the tooth or gums.
- For swelling: Use a cold compress on the outside of your cheek. If swelling spreads quickly or affects your breathing, go to the ER.
- For a knocked-out tooth: Rinse it gently, hold it by the crown (not the root), and place it in milk or saliva. Get to a dentist within 30–60 minutes.
- For broken teeth or fillings: Rinse your mouth, save any pieces, and avoid chewing on that side until you’re seen.
When can I be seen?
Desert Hills Dental offers same-day emergency care during business hours, including early morning appointments starting at 7:00 a.m. Monday–Thursday.
If you’re reading this late at night, don’t wait for things to get worse. Call us as soon as we open, and we’ll do everything we can to get you in quickly.
What if I need care right now?
If your pain or swelling becomes severe — especially if it’s interfering with breathing, vision, or sleep — go to the nearest emergency room or urgent care center. These situations can be signs of a spreading infection, which needs immediate attention.
For less urgent issues, you can wait until morning, then:
Call Desert Hills Dental at (725) 977-5901
to request an emergency dental visit.
We’re here for you — even after hours
Our patients know they can count on us. While we’re not a 24-hour walk-in clinic, we respond quickly during office hours and work hard to schedule emergency visits the same day.
You don’t have to manage dental pain on your own. We’ll help you feel better — without judgment or delay.
Searching for an Emergency Dentist Near You in Las Vegas?
If you typed “emergency dentist near me” tonight, two things matter: how fast you can be seen, and whether the office actually treats emergencies. Desert Hills Dental reserves time for same-day emergency visits and opens at 7:00 a.m. Monday through Thursday, earlier than most Las Vegas dental offices. A toothache at midnight can be in a chair within hours of sunrise, not days.
We are located at 6740 S. Fort Apache Rd in Southwest Las Vegas (89148), minutes from Summerlin South, Rhodes Ranch, and Spanish Trails. Call (725) 977-5901 when we open and tell us it is an emergency. Emergency calls are triaged first.

Emergency Dentist FAQs
How do I find an emergency dentist near me in Las Vegas?
Call the closest dental office that offers same-day emergency visits rather than hunting for a 24-hour clinic. Most Las Vegas dental emergencies are treated during extended office hours. Desert Hills Dental opens at 7:00 a.m. Monday through Thursday, prioritizes emergency calls, and serves Southwest Las Vegas, Summerlin South, Rhodes Ranch, and Spanish Trails.
Is there a true 24-hour emergency dentist in Las Vegas?
Very few dental offices anywhere in Las Vegas are open around the clock. For severe swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, or anything affecting your breathing, go to the nearest emergency room. For everything else, stabilize the tooth at home overnight and call a dentist with early hours. Desert Hills Dental starts seeing patients at 7:00 a.m.
What counts as a dental emergency?
Throbbing pain that keeps you awake, a knocked-out or broken tooth, swelling in the cheek or jaw, uncontrolled bleeding, or signs of infection such as fever or pus. A knocked-out tooth has the best chance of being saved within 30 to 60 minutes, so treat that one as the most urgent.
Can I be seen the same day for a dental emergency?
Yes. Desert Hills Dental schedules same-day emergency visits during business hours, Monday through Thursday 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Friday 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Call (725) 977-5901 as soon as the office opens.
