Open Tuesday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM
We hold same-day dental appointments open on every day we're open because a toothache that woke you up, a crown that fell out before a meeting, or a swollen jaw can't wait until next week. At our Springfield, OR office, Dr. Matthew Collins makes time for urgent problems because that's how dental problems actually work. Call, describe your situation, and we'll tell you the soonest we can get you in. Most days, that's today.
We're open Tuesday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Closed Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.
Pain, swelling, lost restorations, or anything that doesn't feel right. The earlier you call, the more options you have.
If a piece of tooth broke off, bring it in milk or saliva. Bring your dental insurance card if you have one.
Most urgent issues are diagnosed within minutes and treated the same visit when possible.
Not every dental concern needs to be seen today. These are the situations where same-day care makes a real difference, listed by priority level.
Pain that's keeping you awake or facial swelling near a tooth. Often means infection or an exposed nerve. See our toothache treatment page for what to expect.
A permanent tooth out of its socket or noticeably loose after impact. Time beats everything here. If we're closed, go to urgent care or a hospital dental service now rather than waiting for us.
A visible break, fracture, or piece of tooth missing. Even if pain is mild, breaks expose the tooth to bacteria. Our broken tooth repair page covers the fixes.
A dental crown or large filling that fell out leaves the tooth underneath exposed and vulnerable. Most can be re-cemented or replaced same-day.
Bleeding from the gums or after dental work that doesn't slow down within 30 minutes of pressure. We'll evaluate the source same-day.
Hot, cold, or sweet sensitivity that's intensifying or starting to linger. May point to early decay or a small crack that needs a dental filling before it grows.
Same-day appointments aren't magic. They're a result of how we structure our schedule as part of our emergency dentist care. Here's exactly how we make them happen.
We block out time on the schedule on every day we're open, specifically for urgent patients. These slots aren't filled by routine appointments. They sit open for situations exactly like yours.
When you call, we listen to what's going on and decide together whether it's a same-day situation. If it is, we tell you when to come in. If it can wait, we explain why and book you for a regular dental exam instead.
If our same-day slots are full, we tell you. We won't string you along all day. Sometimes that means we get you in the next morning we're open instead. Either way, you know exactly when you'll be seen.
Here's exactly what happens between picking up the phone and leaving our office with the situation handled.
Our team listens to your situation, asks a few quick questions, and gives you an arrival time. If you're a new patient, we collect basic information over the phone to save time when you arrive.
You're greeted at the front desk and brought back as quickly as we can. We don't park urgent patients in a waiting room to watch the clock, though a short wait can happen if the treatment before yours runs long.
Dr. Collins examines the issue and takes any needed X-rays. You see the result on screen. We diagnose the cause clearly so you understand exactly what we're dealing with.
Dr. Collins walks you through what's needed and what each option costs. No pressure to decide on the spot. We answer your questions and proceed only when you're comfortable.
Most issues are treated during the same visit. Some cases need a follow-up appointment for more involved work, but you leave with a clear plan, prescriptions if needed, and your immediate problem addressed.
Dental problems don't follow office calendars. They show up at 6 a.m. on a Tuesday or after dinner on a Thursday night. We can't answer the phone at either of those moments, but we can make sure there's a slot waiting when we open. That's how we honor the way real life actually works for families across Springfield and the surrounding Lane County communities.
A toothache that's bad enough to call about isn't going to get better with time. Most dental issues escalate quickly. Same-day care prevents simple problems from becoming complicated ones.
A knocked-out tooth has the best chance of being saved within the first hour. An exposed nerve hurts more by the minute. Holding slots open means we can act when timing actually matters.
Patients remember the dentist who got them in when they really needed it. We'd rather earn long-term trust by being available than book every slot months in advance.
Two Rivers Dental Group holds same-day dental appointments for patients from Springfield, Eugene, and nearby communities. Our office at 1717 Centennial Blvd, Suite #3 is open Tuesday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Call 541-287-7874 as soon as you need to be seen.
Call our Springfield office as early in the day as you can and describe what's going on. We triage over the phone, and if it's a same-day situation we give you an arrival time right then. Same-day dental appointments are held open on every day we're open, Tuesday through Friday, specifically for urgent patients.
We're closed Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, so our first same-day slots are Tuesday morning. Leave a detailed message and we'll call you back as soon as we reopen. If you have facial swelling with trouble breathing or swallowing, a high fever, or jaw trauma, don't wait for us. Go to the emergency room.
Yes. Many of our same-day patients have never been to our office before. We collect your basic information over the phone so your arrival is fast, then just bring your ID and dental insurance card if you have one. Being new to the practice never puts you at the back of the line.
We tell you upfront rather than stringing you along all day. Usually that means the first appointment the next morning we're open, along with guidance for managing pain until then. If you have facial swelling with trouble breathing or swallowing or a high fever, go to the emergency room instead and call us for follow-up care.
Call our Springfield office now. The sooner you call, the sooner we can get you in.
