Same-Day Emergency Care for McLean Patients

Two Routes Out of McLean, Both Land in Fairfax

From McLean, the fastest route is usually Route 123 (Chain Bridge Road) south through Tysons Corner and into Fairfax. Alternatively, I-66 west picks up off Route 123 and shaves a few minutes during rush hour. Either way, most McLean patients reach us in 15 to 22 minutes.

Same-Day Slots Held Open Every Day

McLean has plenty of dentists, but most aren't set up for same-day emergencies. We hold daily slots specifically for urgent cases, post our pricing at the front desk, and don't run treatment plans through a sales filter. The drive south is usually faster than waiting two or three days for an emergency opening closer to home.

Right Off Tysons Corner

Our office is about 15 minutes from Tysons Corner, so if you're already in that area, you're close. McLean patients sometimes drop into Tysons for shopping or work and then realize they need to be seen for a tooth that's been bothering them. Call us. We can probably fit you in same-day if you're already nearby.

Approximately 11 to 12 miles. Most McLean patients drive 15 to 22 minutes via Route 123 south or I-66 west. Drive times vary depending on Tysons Corner traffic, which can be heavy during commute hours and weekday afternoons.

Are you accepting new patients from McLean?

Yes, every day. We hold same-day slots open for new patients with emergencies. You don't need a referral, you don't need to be an existing patient, and you don't need insurance. Just call us.

What does an emergency dental visit cost?

The emergency exam is $250 and includes your X-rays. Treatment costs depend on what we find. An extraction starts at $250, a same-day root canal is $2,800 to $3,200, and a same-day CEREC crown is $1,658. You'll get a written estimate before any treatment begins.

Do you offer sedation for anxious patients?

Yes. Laughing gas and oral sedation are always available, and Dr. Johnson is certified in IV conscious sedation for the rare cases where it's needed. Tell us you're nervous when you call. We see anxious patients every single day and we know how to make the visit as easy as we can.

Questions McLean Patients Ask Us

  • Why drive to Fairfax when there are dentists in McLean?

    Most McLean patients tell us they ended up calling us because their regular dentist couldn't see them same-day, or because they wanted a real emergency price without surprises. The 15 to 22 minute drive south is usually faster than waiting for an opening closer to home, and the drive runs against the typical commute pattern.
  • Will my insurance work?

    We're an out-of-network provider, which means we submit claims on your behalf and fight for your reimbursement. Most PPO plans work without issue. Bring your insurance card and a photo ID. If you don't have insurance, we offer financing through Cherry, CareCredit, Sunbit, Affirm, Alphaeon, and Proceed.
  • What if my emergency turns into needing ongoing care?

    Once the emergency is handled, if you decide you'd like ongoing care, you can come back to our main site, dentcarenow.com. It's the same practice, same dentists, just the general dental side of what we do, including cleanings, cosmetic work, implants, and TMJ treatment.
