DO THIS FIRST

What to do now

  1. 1

    Tell the office about swelling, fever, trauma, or uncontrolled pain first.

  2. 2

    Ask for a specific arrival window; walk-in does not always mean immediate treatment.

  3. 3

    Verify insurance or Medicaid participation for the specific office and date of service.

01

What a Sunday visit may realistically include

A Sunday office may be able to examine the problem, take dental X-rays, relieve a sharp edge, stabilize a tooth, drain an infection, begin treatment, or arrange the next step. What is possible depends on the diagnosis, the clinician and equipment onsite, remaining chair time, and whether a laboratory or specialist is needed.

02

Star Dental’s listed Sunday access

Star Dental’s official website currently lists Friday through Sunday hours of 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and says it accepts new emergency patients. Hours and chair availability can change, so call 303-222-1414 before travel.

03

If every dental office is closed

Use safe temporary steps and arrange the earliest dental visit. Go to an emergency department for breathing or swallowing trouble, rapidly spreading swelling, severe facial injury, or bleeding that will not stop.

04

Confirm the exact Sunday before you leave

Sunday staffing can change for holidays, weather, or unexpected schedule limits. Call the same day and repeat the date, location, and arrival time rather than relying only on an online hours listing.

  • Ask whether a dentist will be onsite.
  • Confirm the last time a new emergency patient can check in.
  • Ask whether the office anticipates examination only or possible treatment.
05

Prepare for anything that must happen after Sunday

A Sunday visit may lead to a Monday specialist, laboratory, or follow-up appointment. Before leaving, request written instructions, copies or transfer of relevant images, referral details, and a number to call if the problem worsens.

  • Confirm where a prescription can be filled because pharmacy hours vary.
  • Ask who will provide the next stage of care.
  • Know which symptoms require emergency-department evaluation overnight.

VERIFY BEFORE YOU LEAVE

Turn an online listing into a real care plan

Use this “Need a dentist on Sunday? Confirm these details first” guide to organize a focused call, prepare for the visit, and leave knowing exactly what should happen next.

01

Confirm today’s clinical availability

Call the specific location and say what is happening. Confirm that a dentist can evaluate a new emergency patient, not merely that the building is open. Ask for an accepted appointment or arrival window, the last check-in time, and what happens if the schedule fills before you arrive.

  • Dentist onsite at your arrival time
  • New emergency patients accepted
  • Latest clinical check-in
02

Check fit, scope, and likely first step

Ask whether the office treats the patient’s age group and can evaluate the symptom you described. Confirm whether the visit may include imaging and treatment or is likely to be an exam and referral. Mention accessibility, language, transportation, medical, or sedation needs before making the trip.

  • Patient age and clinical scope
  • Exam, imaging, and treatment capacity
  • Language and access needs
03

Keep a practical backup plan

Save the address, parking or entrance instructions, and the office number. Ask what to do if you are delayed or symptoms worsen. Keep a second dental option and know the hospital warning signs, especially when calling late, on a weekend, or during severe weather.

  • Exact location and arrival plan
  • Number to call if delayed
  • Backup dental and medical options

QUESTIONS PATIENTS ASK

Common questions

Does a Sunday dentist cost more?

Policies vary. Ask for the emergency exam and X-ray charges, whether treatment is separate, and how insurance or payment options are handled before you arrive.

Can a Sunday dentist pull a tooth?

Possibly, but the office must examine the tooth first and have the right time, equipment, clinician, and referral plan.

How do I verify a Sunday dental appointment before driving across Denver?

Call the office that day and confirm the exact address, appointment or check-in time, dentist availability, and latest accepted arrival. Ask what to do if capacity changes, and keep a backup option for worsening symptoms.
