Emergency Dentist Near Layton, Utah — Open Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays
It’s Saturday morning in Layton and your tooth is throbbing. You’ve already called your regular dentist — voicemail. You’ve Googled “emergency dentist Layton” and found a list of offices that are all closed until Monday.
Don’t worry! There’s a dentist 20 minutes up the road who is open right now.
We’re The Weekend Dentist in South Ogden, and weekends are the only thing we do. While every other office in Davis County is locked up until Monday morning, Dr. Andersen is pulling teeth, finishing root canals, and getting people out of pain — every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
How far is it from Layton? (Closer than the ER, cheaper too)
From most of Layton, we’re about 20 minutes away — straight up US-89 to South Ogden, just off of Harrison Boulevard.
Compare that to your other weekend options:
The ER at Davis Hospital or McKay-Dee: They’ll hand you antibiotics and ibuprofen, charge you $800–$1,500, and tell you to see a dentist on Monday. ERs don’t have dentists on staff — they legally can’t pull your tooth or do a root canal. You’ll wait hours to leave with the same toothache you walked in with.
Waiting until Monday: Dental infections don’t take weekends off. An abscess that’s “annoying” on Saturday can become facial swelling by Sunday night. Waiting usually means more pain and a bigger bill.
Driving 20 minutes to us: You get an exam, an x-ray, a diagnosis, and — in almost every case — the actual treatment done the same day. Most patients are in and out in about an hour.
What we can do for you today
- Tooth extractions — $300, flat. If the tooth can’t be saved, we’ll numb you up completely and take it out. No surprise charges.
- Same-day root canals. If the tooth can be saved, we don’t schedule you for “a consult.” We do the root canal today.
- Abscess and infection treatment. Swelling, pressure, that bump on your gums — we’ll find the source and fix it, not just mask it.
- Chipped and broken teeth. Front tooth casualties from weekend sports, kids’ scooter crashes, popcorn kernels — we fix them same-day.
