It Can Be Hard to find a Dentist Open on Saturday in Irving
If you work in Las Colinas, commute on SH-114, or pick up shifts near DFW Airport, weekday dental appointments mean burning PTO or rushing back from lunch. But when you search “dentist open Saturday Irving,” you get a wall of ads, chain clinics with rotating providers, and listings that say “open Saturday” but have no appointments until next month.
Picking the wrong one costs more than a wasted morning. A cracked tooth left for another week can turn a filling into a crown. And a dentist you only see once can’t track changes in your gums, bite, or old fillings over time.
Fortunately, Smiles Family Dental in Irving is open every Saturday from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM at 7429 Las Colinas Blvd., Suite D100. It’s our most doctor-staffed office, with Dr. Angelie Zamora, DDS, MAGD, Dr. Rebecca Kim, DDS, and Dr. Ruasha Shrestha, DMD. Call (972) 444-9337 to schedule your Saturday dental appointment with our Irving dentists.
Questions to Ask Before Choosing a Saturday Dentist in Irving
1. How many dentists practice at this office?
More dentists means more open chairs, especially on popular days like Saturday. A single-dentist office with weekend hours can book out for weeks. Our Irving office has three dentists, which gives Irving patients more flexibility than any other Smiles Family Dental location.
2. Is Saturday a full day of care, or just emergencies?
Some offices only open on weekends for urgent visits. Ask whether you can get an exam, professional cleaning, filling, or treatment consultation on a Saturday, not just a quick fix.
3. Can I be seen the same Saturday for tooth pain?
A toothache on Saturday morning shouldn’t mean waiting until Tuesday. Call (972) 444-9337 when we open at 8:00 AM, and we’ll work to see you that morning through our emergency dental care. Outside office hours, call the emergency line at (972) 896-0313.
4. Who are the dentists, and what’s their training?
Look past the hours to the people. Dr. Zamora is a University of Dallas graduate with the Master of the Academy of General Dentistry (MAGD) credential and more than 20 years of experience. Dr. Kim practiced in New York City and was named Resident of the Year during her training. Dr. Shrestha trained in the U.S. and internationally.
5. Will the team explain everything clearly?
Irving is one of the most diverse cities in North Texas, and good care starts with understanding your options. Ask whether the team takes time to walk you through findings and costs. Our multilingual Irving team explains each step in plain language before any treatment begins.
6. Can I start bigger treatment on a Saturday?
Weekends are when many people finally have time to deal with the thing they’ve been putting off. Ask whether consultations are available on Saturday. In Irving, that includes NightLase® snoring treatment, Yomi® robot-assisted implants (we’re a Gold-status Yomi® provider), and free Invisalign® consultations.
7. What does it cost without insurance?
Weekend visits shouldn’t come with a surprise bill. Our Dental Savings Plan covers two preventive cleanings and an annual exam, plus discounts on other treatment. There are no claim forms, no annual maximums, and no waiting periods.
8. Is the office easy to get to on a Saturday?
A Saturday appointment only helps if getting there is simple. Our office on Las Colinas Blvd. is close to SH-114, Loop 12, and Belt Line Road, with plenty of parking right at the building.

What a Saturday Visit Looks Like at Our Las Colinas Office
You book online the night before and finish your patient forms from your phone. Saturday morning, you park at the building and check in without a pile of paperwork. Your dentist asks what’s going on, takes digital X-rays, and shows you the images on screen so you can see exactly what they see.
For routine visits, your cleaning and exam are done in one appointment. If something needs treatment, you get a written plan with costs and options before anything happens. Not ready to come in? Start with a virtual consultation from home, then book your Saturday visit.
“From the time I walked into Smiles Family Dental to the time I left, it was a great experience. Thanks to John and the entire staff – Dr Kim and Candy my tooth was finally pulled, and a temporary bridge was put in. Seeing them in 8 weeks and then a permanent bridgeI went with Cherry Financing, and it was a breeze to apply. John really helped in that regard; I couldn’t have done it without him. All friendly, kind, caring, knowledgeable individuals. I was anxious at first, but they all were very helpful, and I was calm and happy when I left. Recommend this Dentistry 100%” – Eileen D, Smiles Family Dental patient
