Same-Day Dental Appointments? How the Urgent Care Model Is Changing the Game When It Comes to Dentistry

Everyone’s been to an urgent care clinic at one time or another—for scrapes, for infections, for colds and flus. But have you ever wondered where you would go if you had a toothache?

Most people might answer “hospital,” if the tooth pain was severe enough. But hospitals are costly, busy, and overrun with germs. What if there was a better way?

At Light Dental Studios, we’re changing what it means to be a dental clinic. Unlike most dentists—ones that are appointment only—Light Dental has opened its doors to drop-ins, with same-day visits available. In this way, they hope to close the gap between regular dental check-ups and trips to the hospital, alleviating the strain on ER doctors and providing value to the patient.

What sets Light Dental apart from other dentists that may provide this service is that, with access to 30+ locations, we can move patients exactly where they need to be and where schedules open up. Tooth issues are notorious for being especially painful, so we know patients want to be seen right away; and that’s why if it’s at all feasible, we’ll see you the same day you reach out.

Light Dental also has access to experts in every specialty, meaning that you’ll never have to wait for a referral to be processed by a separate clinic. Instead, you’ll merely be directed down the hall or to another Light Dental, which will be able to address your issue right away.

Want to experience this exceptional service for yourself? Make an appointment at Light Dental today or simply show up to your nearest LDS office to be fit into our schedule.
