Loxahatchee Groves became its own town in 2006, and it has kept its rural feel: nurseries, horse properties, unpaved lanes and long setbacks from the road. It also shares the 33470 ZIP code with us. Errands here usually mean a drive, so it helps to know there's an emergency dental office open seven days just up the road in Westlake, with the phone answered around the clock.
Same-day emergency dental care for Loxahatchee Groves patients
Call first. A short phone call lets us set aside a dentist and a room, and it gives us a chance to tell you if your symptoms belong at an ER instead. Walk-ins aren't accepted.
Once you're here, a dentist examines the problem tooth and takes the X-ray needed to diagnose it. We explain what we see, lay out your options and give you a written price. Treatment doesn't begin until you agree, and when it's safe to do so, it can begin the same day.
Common reasons people call us: a throbbing tooth, a gum that's swollen and sore, a molar that cracked, a lost crown or a wisdom tooth acting up. Extractions and root canals are done in our office by our dentists.
If the puffiness is heading for the eye or the throat, if air or food won't go down easily, or if you're feverish with a swollen face, the hospital comes first. Palms West Hospital is on Southern Blvd, close to Loxahatchee Groves, and ER at Westlake is near our office. Hospitals treat the infection or injury but generally don't treat the tooth itself, so call us afterward.
