Woman calling to ask about an appointment

Medical emergency? Call 911 for trouble breathing, uncontrolled bleeding, or a life-threatening injury. Difficulty swallowing or swelling spreading toward the eye or neck needs emergency medical care. Do not wait for a dental appointment.

How to arrange help outside your usual schedule

Tooth pain often seems to arrive at an inconvenient time. If you are searching for an emergency dentist at night, on Saturday, or on Sunday, the first practical step is to verify where care is actually available. Our main emergency dental service page explains how to contact Cal Dental Group in Los Angeles.

Check office hours, then confirm your visit

The contact page lists Monday–Wednesday and Friday hours of 9 a.m.–6 p.m., Thursday 9 a.m.–8 p.m., and Saturday 9 a.m.–4 p.m. Sunday is listed for emergency appointments only. These are local Los Angeles times. Call 323-934-2804 to confirm current availability, including holidays and Sunday requests.

A listed closing time does not guarantee that an urgent appointment remains available that day. Likewise, a telephone instruction or online request does not by itself confirm that the office is open for treatment. Ask for the appointment time and arrival instructions.

If you cannot reach the office

Follow the recorded instructions. If a problem needs immediate care, seek another available emergency dental provider rather than waiting indefinitely. A knocked-out permanent tooth is time-sensitive. For a possible medical emergency, call 911 or seek an emergency department.

Describe the problem clearly

Say whether there was an accident, how long symptoms have been present, and whether there is pain, swelling, fever, bleeding, or a lost tooth or restoration. Tell the team what medication you have taken and whether a dentist recently treated the area. Ask what to do if symptoms change before the visit.

Prepare for the appointment you confirm

Cal Dental Group is located at 936 Crenshaw Blvd, Suite 101, Los Angeles, CA 90019. Bring identification, a medication list, and insurance details if available. Bring any recovered crown or tooth fragment, following appropriate handling instructions for an adult tooth that has been knocked out.

Ask about cost and follow-up

Request an explanation of exam and imaging fees, proposed treatment, insurance estimates, and payment options. Costs depend on what is needed; an emergency visit is not one fixed procedure. Ask which care can be completed at the initial visit and whether a return appointment is necessary. Our new-patient information and membership information can help you prepare questions.

Questions about evenings & weekends

Is Cal Dental Group a 24-hour walk-in dental office?

Do not assume 24-hour staffing or walk-in availability. Call 323-934-2804, follow the telephone instructions, and confirm an appointment before traveling.

Are Sunday emergency visits available?

The contact page lists Sunday for emergency appointments only. Call to confirm whether the team can arrange a visit for your concern.

What if I need help before the office can see me?

Seek another available emergency dental provider for time-sensitive dental care. For medical warning signs or a life-threatening emergency, seek emergency medical care.
