We are open Saturdays, 9:00am to 1:00pm. Most dental offices in Detroit are closed on a Saturday, which is exactly when a lot of people are finally free to be seen. We are on W Vernor Hwy in Southwest Detroit. Call (313) 841-1010.
Why We Open on Saturday
Plenty of our patients work shifts that make a weekday appointment mean losing pay. Parents have children in school Monday to Friday. Saturday removes that problem for both. It is also the day a toothache that started midweek finally becomes impossible to ignore.
Our Saturday clinic offers the same full range of dental services as any other day, including exams, cleanings, fillings, extractions and emergency visits.
Booking a Saturday Appointment
Saturday is a short day, four hours, so the appointments fill before the rest of the week does. Two things help:
- Call ahead if you can. Calling Thursday or Friday for the coming Saturday usually gets you a time that suits you.
- Walk in if you cannot. We do take walk-ins. On a Saturday you may wait, and if the day is already full we will book you the soonest weekday appointment rather than leave you sitting.
If you are in pain, say so when you call. Pain gets triaged ahead of routine work.
Saturday Emergencies
A cracked tooth, a lost filling, swelling or a toothache that kept you up does not wait for Monday. We hold same-day emergency appointments, Saturdays included. What we can finish in one visit depends on what we find. Sometimes it is done that day. Sometimes the first visit is about stopping the pain and controlling infection, with the repair booked after. We will tell you which it is before we start.
More detail on what to do in the meantime is on our emergency dentist page.
Insurance and Medicaid on a Saturday
Saturday works the same as any other day. We accept Medicaid, Healthy Kids Dental and most major dental insurance. Bring your card and we check your coverage before treatment starts, so you know what is covered before you agree to anything. See our Medicaid page for what that covers.
