The Eastside around Plaza Saltillo runs on hourly work. Restaurants, bars, salons, the venues off East 5th and 6th, the shops along Cesar Chavez. A lot of our patients here don’t get paid time off, so a dental visit costs twice. There’s the appointment, and there’s the shift you gave up to make it. When money’s tight and time is tighter, “come back next week for the next one” is how people end up not coming back at all.
So we look at it differently for this kind of schedule. The goal is to get the most treatment safely possible into each visit you take off for. That’s where oral sedation earns its keep. The calm lasts the whole appointment, so we’re not limited to one quick thing before you tap out. We can combine fillings, get through a longer procedure, handle the backlog in far fewer trips. A stretch of work that would’ve been five visits becomes one or two.
It’s a short walk or ride from the Plaza Saltillo Red Line stop, and we’ll work with your schedule to find a day that costs you the least. If you’ve been putting off care because you can’t keep losing shifts for it, this is the version that respects your time. Get comfortable, get a lot handled, and get back to work.
