Emergency Dental of Texas was founded in 2009 with a simple yet powerful vision: to ensure that no Texan has to endure prolonged dental pain or wait days for emergency dental care. Our founders, a group of experienced dentists, recognized a critical gap in accessible emergency dental services across the state.
What started as a single location in Arlington has grown into a network of state-of-the-art facilities serving major cities throughout Texas. This expansion was driven not by ambition alone, but by the needs of our communities and the trust our patients placed in us.
Over the years, we've treated more than 25,000 patients, handled countless emergencies, and built lasting relationships with families across Texas. Our commitment to excellence has earned us recognition from dental associations and, more importantly, the gratitude of patients whose lives we've touched.
Today, we continue to evolve, adopting the latest technologies and treatment methods while staying true to our core mission: providing compassionate, immediate, and expert emergency dental care to everyone who needs it, whenever they need it.
