How far is our office from Loxahatchee?
From the Lion Country Safari Rd area, it's about eight road miles to our office at 16841 Persimmon Blvd W Suite 1200, Westlake, FL 33470. Most trips take 15 to 20 minutes. If you live farther west or south, add the time it takes to reach Southern Blvd, since that's the road almost every trip uses.
Loxahatchee isn't a city with hard borders. It's the name people use for a wide stretch of western Palm Beach County, from the rural lots around Deer Run to the land near the Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge area that gave the region its name. We share the 33470 ZIP code. Our office is in Westlake, just north of you.
Same-day emergency dental care for Loxahatchee patients
Everything starts with a call to (561) 372-2189. Describe the problem and we'll hold a time for you today. We don't see walk-ins. With a long drive in, it's worth knowing before you leave that a dentist and room are waiting.
The visit itself is straightforward. A dentist examines the tooth and takes the X-ray needed to diagnose it. You'll hear what's wrong and what each fix involves, then get a written price. You choose what happens next, and treatment can often begin the same visit.
We treat severe toothaches, swollen gums and faces, broken and knocked-out teeth, lost crowns and fillings, and wisdom tooth trouble. Extractions and root canals are done in our office by our dentists.
Some situations call for the hospital before the dentist: a swollen face that's reaching the eye or throat, any struggle to breathe or swallow, fever along with a swollen face, or a major injury. Palms West Hospital is on Southern Blvd, on your way east, and ER at Westlake is near our office.

Frequently asked questions
Is there an emergency dentist near Loxahatchee, FL?
Yes. Our office is in Westlake, about 8 road miles from the Lion Country Safari Rd area, roughly 15 to 20 minutes by Southern Blvd and Seminole Pratt Whitney Rd. We're open seven days a week. Call (561) 372-2189 for a same-day time.
Can I call before I leave home?
Please do. A call is required, since we don't take walk-ins, and it means you'll have a time waiting when you arrive. If you call after hours, a person answers and holds the first opening of the next day for you.
What should I do for a toothache on the drive in?
Take an over-the-counter pain reliever as the label directs, if it's safe for you. Hold a cold pack on your cheek, not directly on the tooth. Avoid chewing on that side. If swelling grows quickly or you feel feverish, head to an ER first.
