We staff our phones so your call gets answered, not routed into a queue.

Dentist Open Now exists because dental care shouldn't require three voicemails and a guessing game about what you'll owe. So we assembled a roster of licensed general dentists, specialists, and emergency providers in Scranton, PA and put them behind a single phone line.
In Scranton alone, our partner offices handle everything from a chipped incisor before a job interview to a full mouth of overdue checkups. You describe the problem once, we find the closest available provider, and you leave the call with a date and time already set.
Providers stay in our network because patients keep coming back, not because they paid for a listing. That means fewer surprises, fewer callbacks, and a lot less time spent explaining your situation to a new receptionist every time.
Part of staying in our network means an office has to keep handling the unglamorous stuff well: refunds, rescheduling, and clear answers about cost overruns. Offices that consistently mishandle those moments get flagged, coached, or removed — patients shouldn't have to advocate for themselves at the front desk. It's a small operational detail, but it's the difference between a referral service and an actual quality filter.
Years spent building relationships with dentists who answer their own phones.
No provider joins the network without a clean, current credential check.
Whatever the issue, +1-866-227-2801 is the only number you need to remember.
Most dental emergencies give a warning first. These are the ones patients regret waiting on.
Pain sharp enough to interrupt sleep is your body telling you this isn't a "wait and see" situation.
Swelling near a tooth is a classic sign of infection and can spread to the jaw or neck if left untreated.
An exposed crack lets bacteria straight into the inner tooth, so the clock starts ticking the moment it happens.
Chronic bleeding is one of the clearest early warnings of periodontal disease.
Whether it's a six-month cleaning or a same-day extraction, the provider you reach through us can handle it.
Twice-yearly cleanings and exams remain the single best defense against the fillings and root canals that show up later. Most offices in the network can fit a cleaning and exam into a single lunch-hour appointment.
If you're in pain right now, say so when you call — emergency slots get pulled from a separate part of the schedule. For after-hours emergencies, our line routes you to whichever partner office has on-call coverage that night.
Bonding is often the fastest, lowest-cost fix for a small chip or gap when a full veneer isn't necessary. Consultations usually include a mock-up so you see the expected result before committing to treatment.
Crowns rebuild a tooth that's cracked or heavily filled; bridges and implants replace teeth that are already gone. Same-day crown technology is available at select partner offices, cutting the usual two-visit process down to one.
Clear aligners suit mild-to-moderate cases and adult patients who want a less visible option. Retainers are fitted at the end of treatment to hold the new alignment in place long-term.
Sealants applied early on baby molars head off a large share of the cavities kids otherwise develop by age ten. Family block appointments — parent and child seen back-to-back — are available at several partner offices.
Tell us what's wrong and whether it's urgent, and we take it from there.
We cross-check appointment slots at nearby offices and prioritize ones that specialize in your specific issue.
You leave the call with a set appointment, not a promise to follow up.
If your plans change, one call reschedules you — no fees for a simple date swap.
We verify credentials directly with the state board, not just a self-reported listing. Credential checks are repeated periodically, not just once at signup, so a lapsed license gets caught.
Waiting weeks for a cleaning shouldn't be normal — our network is built to avoid that. If your first-choice office is booked, we usually have a backup nearby with room the same week.
You get a cost estimate before treatment starts, whether you're insured, on Medicaid, or paying out of pocket. We consider a mid-treatment surprise bill a red flag worth reporting back to us.
Call +1-866-227-2801 and a real coordinator answers — not a menu of eight options. The same number handles routine bookings and urgent cases — you never have to guess which line to call.
If the estimate you're given on the phone doesn't match what the office quotes in person, tell us — we follow up with that office directly.
A single bad review doesn't sink a provider, but a pattern of complaints does. We'd rather send fewer referrals to a great office than keep padding the list with mediocre ones.
What you're quoted is what you should expect to pay, barring findings discovered during the exam itself.
Every dentist we refer you to has been credential-checked, not just self-listed.
We keep an updated roster of dentists across Scranton and the surrounding zip codes, so wherever you're located in the area, a nearby office is already in our network.
If a specific office is full, we typically have a backup option nearby within the same day.
