Havendale Boulevard runs from US 92 in Auburndale straight to our door in Winter Haven: about four miles, eight to twelve minutes in normal traffic. We see Auburndale patients the same day, Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Call (863) 555-0170 before you leave and we'll have a room ready.
The $70 is a minimum fee for patients paying without insurance. It covers a limited, problem-focused emergency exam (ADA code D0140) and the X-ray needed to diagnose the tooth. Treatment is priced separately and quoted to you in writing before any work starts.

How far is our office from Auburndale?
About four road miles from downtown Auburndale. Our office is at 1178 Havendale Blvd NW, Winter Haven, FL 33881, on Havendale Boulevard NW just west of US 17. Havendale Boulevard is State Road 544, and it begins at Magnolia Avenue (US 92) on the east side of Auburndale, runs southeast past Lake Ariana and the Inwood area, and reaches us a short way before the US 17 intersection. One road, no turns to speak of.
From Auburndale City Park, Bruce Canova Stadium and the city hall area, count on eight to twelve minutes. From the neighborhoods around Lake Stella and Auburndale High School, add a couple. The 33823 zip code is inside our closest ring.
Same-day emergency dental care for Auburndale patients
We keep emergency room in every weekday's schedule and open at 8:00 AM, earlier than most offices between Lakeland and Haines City. Call during office hours and the front desk gives you a time today. After 2:00 PM and on weekends, a real person still answers, takes your details, and holds you the first opening at 8:00 AM the next business morning.
We don't take walk-ins. From Auburndale, call before you get in the car; by the time you've come down Havendale, the room and the X-ray are ready. Our dentists do the exam, the X-ray and the treatment at the same visit whenever the diagnosis allows, including extractions, root canals, abscess drainage and broken tooth repair. Nothing is referred to another office.
Auburndale patients who work in Lakeland or along the Polk Parkway often ask whether they can come before work. With an 8:00 AM opening, the answer is usually yes: call at 8:00, take the first available time, and you can be back on US 92 heading west with the tooth handled.
What an emergency dental visit costs for Auburndale patients
If you're paying without insurance, the exam and X-ray are $70. That's the cost of the diagnosis. Treatment is priced separately, and our dentist writes the figure down before starting. If you have a PPO plan we accept, the exam and X-ray are billed to your plan.
We accept most PPO dental plans and several Medicare Advantage plans; Cherry and CareCredit financing are available. Every plan we take is listed on the cost and insurance page.
Getting here from Auburndale
From downtown Auburndale: Main Street to Magnolia Avenue (US 92), then east a short distance to Havendale Boulevard (State Road 544). Follow Havendale southeast for about four miles. The office is on Havendale just before US 17. Parking on site.
From the Lake Ariana side: join Havendale Boulevard where it passes the lake and continue southeast.
From the Polk Parkway or Interstate 4: exit to US 92 or State Road 559 into Auburndale, then Havendale Boulevard east.
Havendale carries commuter traffic in the morning, but with our 8:00 AM opening you're usually heading the opposite way from the Lakeland-bound rush.
After hours for Auburndale patients
The office closes at 2:00 PM and is closed Saturday and Sunday. The phone at (863) 555-0170 is answered by a person at any hour; they hold you the first slot the next business morning. The after-hours page has overnight pain steps and the symptoms that mean an emergency room tonight. From Auburndale, Winter Haven Hospital on First Street North is about fifteen minutes.
Emergency dental services for Auburndale patients
A toothache that started after a long shift is usually diagnosed and treated in one visit. A tooth knocked out at Bruce Canova Stadium belongs in milk and in our chair within the hour; call from the stands. Wisdom tooth pain is seen the same day, and wisdom tooth extraction is done in our office. Lost crowns are re-cemented the same day when the tooth underneath is sound. The service area page lists every town we cover.
Frequently asked questions
Is there an emergency dentist in Auburndale itself?
Auburndale has dental offices, but for a same-day emergency time on a weekday morning, our office is about ten minutes down Havendale Boulevard and opens at 8:00 AM. Call (863) 555-0170 and we'll hold you a time.
Can I get a tooth pulled the same day if I'm coming from Auburndale?
Usually, yes. The exam and X-ray come first, since our dentist needs to see the roots before deciding. If extraction is the answer and you approve the written price, it's typically done at that visit.
Do you take my insurance?
Most PPO dental plans and several Medicare Advantage plans; the full list is on the cost page. If yours isn't listed, call and ask; the front desk can tell you in a minute.
¿Atienden en español?
Sí. Our staff speak Spanish during office hours. Call and explain what's wrong in Spanish, and the visit can run in Spanish from the front desk to the written price.
