How far is our office from Tarzana?
From Ventura Boulevard and Reseda Boulevard, head north on Reseda through the Valley grid, past Victory and Sherman Way, then east on Saticoy Street; we're between White Oak Avenue and Balcom Avenue. That's about four miles. From the Providence Cedars-Sinai Tarzana Medical Center area on Clark Street, it's the same route. From the Tampa Avenue side of Tarzana, Tampa north to Saticoy and east works. If you're already on the 101, exit White Oak Avenue and head north about four miles to Saticoy. Call it 8 to 15 minutes.
Same-day emergency dental care for Tarzana patients
Call first, get a held time, come once. Everything is handled in our office on Saticoy Street:
- Toothache relief when the pain has outlasted the ibuprofen
- Emergency extractions, simple and surgical, plus wisdom teeth
- Root canals for an infected nerve, with the crown made here too
- Abscess treatment for swelling and infection
- Knocked-out and loosened teeth, where minutes matter (call while someone else drives)
- Broken tooth repair, lost fillings, crowns and implant crowns and denture repairs
The X-ray, the diagnosis, the written price and the treatment happen at one address, usually in one visit.
What an emergency dental visit costs for Tarzana patients
The visit starts at $99 for the exam and X-rays for patients paying without insurance; with a PPO plan, they're billed to the plan. After that, our dentist quotes your specific treatment in writing before any work begins. We accept all PPO dental plans, and Cherry, CareCredit and Sunbit financing plus in-house payment plans are available. The cost and insurance page explains the process and what we don't do with pricing.
No insurance? Same $99 start, same written quote, same choice.

After hours for Tarzana patients: the phone still works
The office is closed after 6:00 PM on Monday and Wednesday, after 7:00 PM on Tuesday and Thursday, after 5:00 PM on Friday, and on most Saturdays and every Sunday. The phone is answered by a real person at every hour. A Tarzana toothache at midnight gets your details taken and a held chair for the first opening, usually 9:00 AM the next business day. One Saturday a month we open by appointment; ask which. Swelling that's spreading toward the eye or throat means Providence Cedars-Sinai Tarzana Medical Center first, then us for the tooth. The weekend and after-hours page has the details.
Before you leave Tarzana: three things that help
Ibuprofen or acetaminophen, taken as the label directs before the drive, will have started working by the time you park. If a tooth is out, it goes back in the socket or into milk, not a tissue. And the call to (323) 433-6458 happens before the key turns, so the room is ready while you're still on Reseda Boulevard.
One Tarzana note: Ventura Boulevard at Reseda is slow most of the day. If you're west of Reseda, Tampa Avenue north is often the quicker way out of the boulevard traffic.
Frequently asked questions from Tarzana patients
Are you closer to Tarzana than the offices on Ventura Boulevard?
Not always closer, but often quicker to be seen: same-day appointments five days a week, two evenings until 7:00 PM, and the extraction or root canal done on site rather than referred. Call (323) 433-6458 and the front desk will tell you what's open today.
I was seen at the Tarzana hospital ER for swelling. Now what?
Call us the same day or the next morning. Bring the paperwork and any prescription so our dentist knows what you've been given. The hospital handles the spreading infection; the tooth that caused it still needs treatment, usually a root canal or an extraction, and that happens here.
Do you send records to my regular dentist in Tarzana?
Yes, with your permission. We treat the emergency and forward a summary and the X-rays so your regular office isn't starting from scratch at your next checkup.
Can I be seen after work on a weekday?
On Tuesday and Thursday, yes, until 7:00 PM. On Monday and Wednesday the last times run to 6:00 PM, and on Friday to 5:00 PM. Call as early in the day as you can and the front desk holds you a slot.
Do you have Spanish-speaking staff?
Sí. Our staff speak Spanish during office hours, and the Spanish side of the site starts at /es/. From the first call to the aftercare instructions, the whole visit can be in Spanish. The service area page lists drive times for the rest of the Valley.
