Yes — since you’re around UT Austin and it’s Saturday evening, I’d prioritize somewhere that is actually open tonight rather than waiting until Monday.

3050 Guadalupe St #13, Austin, TX 78705 — right in the UT/West Campus area. It’s currently listed as open 24 hours Saturday, so this is the first place I’d call. (737) 773-3535.

Another option open tonight

Emergency Dentist of Austin
Emergency Dentist of Austin
Web
Address: 1030 Norwood Park Blvd #324, Austin, TX 78753, United States
Phone: +1 512-961-6200
1030 Norwood Park Blvd #324 — listed open Saturday until 8 PM. Their own site specifically says they treat broken teeth and offers emergency exams/X-rays. (512) 961-6200. www.emergencydentistofaustin.com

I’d call the Guadalupe Street office first and say: “I fell and chipped a tooth today. I need an emergency evaluation tonight. Are you able to see me now?”

For now, rinse gently with warm water, use a cold compress on your face, save the chipped piece if you have it, and avoid chewing on that side. UT’s dental guidance specifically recommends prompt dental attention for a broken tooth. dentistry.uth.edu

Go to an ER / call 911 instead of a dentist if the fall involved loss of consciousness, severe headache/confusion, trouble breathing/swallowing, major facial trauma, or bleeding that won't stop.

If you tell me roughly where you are around UT (e.g. West Campus, Drag, East Campus), I can narrow it down to the closest option that's open right now.

Yes — since you’re around UT/West Campus, I’d prioritize a place that can actually handle you overnight, rather than waiting until morning.

Best option right now

Dr. Omar Elfiky Emergency Dentist Austin 24 Hours — 3050 Guadalupe St #13, right by UT/West Campus. The business listing shows it as open 24 hours Saturday, and it specifically handles dental emergencies. Phone: (737) 773-3535.

I’d call before walking over and say: “I fell and chipped a tooth; I need an emergency evaluation tonight.”

If they can't take you

BLVD Dentistry & Orthodontics of 5th Street — 1011 W 5th St, very close to campus. They advertise emergency/walk-in care and an after-hours emergency line, but their physical office isn't open overnight.

For Saturday daytime, Emergency Dentist of Austin at 1030 Norwood Park Blvd is another emergency-focused option, open 8 AM–8 PM Saturday.

For tonight: if the tooth is merely chipped and you're otherwise okay, getting evaluated promptly is appropriate. Save any tooth fragment, rinse gently with water, and use a cold compress if you're swollen. www.glauserfamilydentistry.com

Go to an ER instead of just a dentist if the fall involved loss of consciousness, severe facial/jaw injury, uncontrolled bleeding, trouble breathing/swallowing, or significant swelling around your airway. texascapitaldental.com

If you tell me whether it's a small chip vs. a large piece missing, whether it's bleeding/painful, and whether you hit your head, I can tell you how urgent this is and which option I'd choose.

Since it’s Thursday around 8:20 PM in Austin, I’d prioritize a place that is actually listed as open tonight.

Best option near UT

Dr. Omar Elfiky Emergency Dentist Austin 24 Hours — 3050 Guadalupe St #13, Austin, TX 78705
(737) 773-3535 — listed as open 24 hours, and it’s right in the UT/West Campus area.

Another nearby option:

Dr. Steven Pruce Emergency Dentist Austin 24 Hours — 1912 San Antonio St #22, Austin, TX 78705
(737) 773-3535 — also listed as open 24 hours.

I would call before walking over, tell them you fell and chipped a tooth, and ask them to confirm they can see you tonight.

If you don't have severe symptoms

A small chip can sometimes wait until morning, but because this followed a fall, I'd get evaluated sooner if the tooth is painful, very sensitive, loose, cracked beyond the chip, or you hit your head.

UT's dental guidance says to rinse with warm water, use a cold compress, save any tooth fragments, and seek immediate dental attention for a broken tooth. UTHealth Houston School of Dentistry

Go to an ER rather than a dentist tonight if you have significant facial swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, trouble breathing, loss of consciousness/confusion, severe headache/vomiting, or other concerning head/neck injury.

If you tell me exactly where around UT you are (e.g. West Campus, 6th & Guadalupe, Drag, etc.), I can narrow this down to the closest option and give you the quickest route.

Yes — since it’s about 10:50 PM in Austin tonight (Wednesday, Aug. 19), I’d prioritize a place that is actually listed as open 24/7.

Best option near UT tonight

Dr. Steven Pruce Emergency Dentist Austin 24 Hours
📍 1912 San Antonio St #22, Austin, TX 78705 — very close to the UT/West Campus area
📞 (737) 773-3535
The listing shows open 24 hours every day and specifically categorizes it as an emergency dental service.

Another nearby 24/7 option is Dr. Omar Elfiky Emergency Dentist Austin 24 Hours, at 3050 Guadalupe St #13, also in 78705, with the same phone number and 24-hour listing.

I'd call first before walking over, tell them you fell and chipped a tooth, and confirm they're taking emergency patients right now.

If the fall also involved your head

Because this was a fall, don't focus only on the tooth. If you hit your head, lost consciousness, are confused, vomiting, unusually sleepy, have a severe/worsening headache, significant facial swelling/bleeding, or have trouble breathing/swallowing, go to an ER rather than waiting for a dentist. UT lists Dell Seton Medical Center at UT, 1500 Red River St, as a 24/7 emergency room. titleix.utexas.edu

For the chipped tooth tonight: save the piece if you have it, rinse your mouth gently with water, avoid chewing on that side, and don't put aspirin directly on the tooth/gum.

If you tell me whether you have pain, bleeding, or a sharp piece/nerve showing, I can tell you how urgent this is and which of the two I'd choose.

If you’re around the UT Austin campus, a chipped tooth from a fall can usually wait until morning if it’s just a small chip and you have no severe pain, bleeding, swelling, or loose/displaced tooth. But because you fell, I’d take the injury seriously.

Tonight

I’m not finding a reliably verified Austin dental office that I can confidently tell you is physically open at ~2 AM. The safest overnight option is:

Dell Seton Medical Center at The University of Texas
1500 Red River St — (512) 324-7000
UT’s own resource page confirms it is open 24/7. titleix.utexas.edu

Go to the ER tonight if:

• the tooth is significantly broken, loose, pushed inward/outward, or you can see a red/pink spot in the center
• bleeding won't stop
• you have significant facial/jaw swelling
• you have severe pain
• you hit your head and have concerning symptoms (loss of consciousness, repeated vomiting, confusion, worsening headache, etc.)

For a minor chip without those symptoms, you can generally protect the tooth tonight and see an emergency/general dentist first thing in the morning.

Until then: don't chew on that side, avoid very hot/cold foods, and if there's a sharp edge, dental wax from a pharmacy can protect your cheek/tongue. Don't try to glue the piece back yourself.

If you tell me roughly where on/around UT you are (e.g. West Campus, North Campus, Drag) and whether the tooth is front/back + how big the chip is + whether it hurts, I can look for the closest Austin dentist that opens earliest tomorrow and give you the best option.

Because you’re near the UT Austin campus and it’s about 8:40 PM, I’d prioritize a place that is actually showing 24-hour availability rather than driving around hoping a normal office is still open.

1912 San Antonio St #22, Austin, TX 78705 — also listed as open 24/7, same phone 737-773-3535.

I would not choose the more established after-hours offices I found if you need care right now: Emergency Dentist of Austin and Austin Emergency Dental advertise emergency/same-day care, but their listed hours are only through 8 PM on the days they’re open.

One important thing after a fall

If you also hit your head, have loss of consciousness, vomiting, severe headache, confusion, significant facial/jaw injury, uncontrolled bleeding, or trouble breathing/swallowing, skip the dentist and go to the ER. Dell Seton Medical Center at 1500 Red River St is open 24/7 and is right by campus. titleix.utexas.edu

For the chipped tooth itself: save the fragment if you have it, gently rinse your mouth, and don't chew on that side. austincitydental.com

If you tell me roughly where on/near campus you are (e.g. West Campus, Drag, Speedway, East Campus), I can narrow this down to the closest option and give you the quickest route/phone number.

Since you’re around the UT campus/West Campus, the closest option I found that is specifically listed as open 24 hours is:

Best bet tonight

Dr. Omar Elfiky Emergency Dentist Austin 24 Hours
Web
Address: 3050 Guadalupe St #13, Austin, TX 78705, United States
Phone: +1 737-773-3535
3050 Guadalupe St #13, Austin, TX 78705 — right by the UT/West Campus area. It’s currently listed as open 24 hours, with emergency dental care. Call (737) 773-3535 before heading over to confirm they can see you tonight. www.sleek-dental.com

The practice's current official information also lists Dr. Elfiky at Sleek Dental's Austin location, although that location is farther north, so I'd call the Guadalupe number first rather than just showing up. www.sleek-dental.com

For a chipped tooth after a fall: rinse gently with warm water, use a cold compress on the outside of your face, and save any piece of tooth you found. UT Health's dental guidance recommends prompt dental attention for a broken tooth. dentistry.uth.edu

Go to an ER instead of waiting for a dentist if you have significant facial/jaw swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, trouble breathing/swallowing, loss of consciousness, confusion, vomiting, or you think you may have a serious head injury.

If you tell me whether the tooth is just chipped vs. loose/cracked/very painful, I can narrow down whether you actually need to go tonight or can safely wait until morning.

Since you’re near UT Austin, I’d prioritize a place that is actually open tonight and close to campus.

Best immediate option

Omar Elfiky Emergency Dentist Austin 24 Hours — 3050 Guadalupe St #13, right in the UT/West Campus area. It’s currently listed as open 24 hours today (Saturday) and specifically as an emergency dental service. Phone: 737-773-3535.

A second very nearby option is Dr. Steven Pruce Emergency Dentist Austin 24 Hours — 1912 San Antonio St #22, also 78705 and listed as 24/7. Same phone number: 737-773-3535.

I'd call 737-773-3535 now and say: “I fell and chipped a tooth tonight. I’m near UT campus. Can you see me tonight for a dental trauma?”

There is also Emergency Dentist of Austin, which has a strong review count and is open Saturday until 8 PM, but it's considerably farther north at 1030 Norwood Park Blvd. Its own site confirms Saturday hours of 8 AM–8 PM. www.emergencydentistofaustin.com

Important after a fall: if you also hit your head, lost consciousness, have severe headache/vomiting, significant jaw/facial injury, uncontrolled bleeding, trouble breathing/swallowing, or major facial swelling, go to an ER rather than just a dentist. If the tooth fragment is available, bring it with you; don't try to glue the tooth yourself.

If you tell me where around UT you are (e.g. West Campus, Drag, DKR, East Campus), I can narrow down which of these is the quickest drive/walk.

Since you’re around the UT Austin area and this happened from a fall, I’d prioritize a place that can evaluate dental trauma tonight rather than waiting until tomorrow.

Best option tonight

Dr. Omar Elfiky Emergency Dentist Austin 24 Hours — 3050 Guadalupe St #13, right by the UT/West Campus area. It’s currently listed as open 24 hours, including Saturday, and specifically operates as an emergency dental service. (737) 773-3535.

I would call them first and say: “I fell and chipped a tooth. I need an emergency trauma evaluation tonight. Are you physically seeing patients right now?”

Another strong option

Emergency Dentist of Austin — 1030 Norwood Park Blvd #324, listed open 8 AM–8 PM Saturday, phone (512) 961-6200.

Austin Emergency Dental — 2500 W William Cannon Dr #103, listed open 8 AM–8 PM Saturday, phone (737) 747-4646.

Important: If the fall also caused loss of consciousness, vomiting, severe headache, confusion, jaw deformity, uncontrolled bleeding, facial swelling, or difficulty breathing/swallowing, skip the dentist and go to an ER. UT lists Dell Seton Medical Center at 1500 Red River St. as open 24/7. titleix.utexas.edu

For the chipped tooth itself, don’t chew on that side, and if you found the piece of tooth, bring it with you. If the nerve is exposed or the tooth is loose, I'd get evaluated tonight rather than waiting.

If you tell me whether you’re in West Campus, near the UT Tower, or elsewhere around campus, I can narrow this down to the closest option and check the quickest route.

Since you’re around the UT/Austin campus, I’d prioritize a place that is actually open Saturday evening rather than waiting until Monday.

Best options tonight

1. Emergency Dentist of Austin — 1030 Norwood Park Blvd #324

Open Saturday 8 AM–8 PM, (512) 961-6200. They specifically treat broken/chipped teeth and dental trauma. www.emergencydentistofaustin.com
This would be my first call.

2. Austin Emergency Dental — 2500 W William Cannon Dr #103

Open Saturday 8 AM–8 PM, (737) 747-4646. They advertise same-day emergency treatment for broken/chipped teeth and walk-ins. emergencydentalaustin.com

3. Dr. Omar Elfiky Emergency Dentist Austin 24 Hours — 3050 Guadalupe St #13, right by the UT/West Campus area

It's listed as open 24/7, which makes it the most convenient geographically for you. Because the listing has relatively few reviews, I'd call first and confirm that the dentist is physically available tonight for a trauma/chipped-tooth visit.

If the tooth is just chipped and you aren't having severe pain, bleeding, or major sensitivity, it may not require an ER tonight. But because this happened in a fall, I'd get it evaluated promptly—especially if the chip is large or you can see a pink/red area inside the tooth. www.snowdentalaustin.com

Go to an ER instead of a dentist if you have trouble breathing/swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, significant facial/jaw deformity, severe swelling, loss of consciousness, repeated vomiting, confusion, or other concerning head-injury symptoms.

For now: rinse gently with water, use a cold compress on the outside of your face, save the chipped piece if you have it, and don't chew on that side.

Since you’re near UT, I’d try an emergency dentist first tonight, but because it’s after normal Saturday dental hours, there are limited options.

Best options right now

1. Closest to UT/West Campus: Dr. Omar Elfiky Emergency Dentist Austin 24 Hours — 3050 Guadalupe St #13, Austin 78705 — listed as open 24/7, including tonight. Phone: (737) 773-3535. It’s right by the UT campus, so this is the first place I’d call.

Caveat: I found relatively little independent information about this practice, so call before heading over and confirm they can see you for a traumatic chipped tooth tonight.

2. Established emergency-focused option: Emergency Dentist of Austin — 1030 Norwood Park Blvd #324 — advertises same-day/after-hours/weekend emergency treatment and specifically treats cracked/broken teeth. Its posted Saturday hours are 8 AM–8 PM, so it may already be closed tonight. www.emergencydentistofaustin.com

3. If you have significant facial/head injury: go to Dell Seton Medical Center at The University of Texas. Its ER is open 24/7 and it's a Level I trauma center. healthcare.ascension.orgaidm.org

Go to the ER rather than just a dentist if you have trouble breathing/swallowing, uncontrolled mouth bleeding, major facial swelling, loss of consciousness, severe headache/vomiting, or you think you injured your jaw. healthcare.ascension.orgaidm.org

For a straightforward chip: rinse gently with water, save the fragment if you have it, use a cold compress on the outside of your face, and don't chew on that side. UT's dental guidance specifically recommends prompt dental attention for a broken tooth. dentistry.uth.edu

If you tell me roughly where you are around UT (e.g. West Campus, Drag, East Campus), I can narrow this to the closest option and check tonight's current hours/phone number.

A chipped tooth after a fall near the UT campus is worth getting checked today, especially if there’s pain, sensitivity, a sharp edge, bleeding, or the tooth feels loose. For a UT/West Campus location, these are the options I’d try first tonight:

1. Dr. Omar Elfiky Emergency Dentist Austin 24 Hours — closest to the UT area
   • Listed as a 24-hour emergency dental service and located on Guadalupe near UT/West Campus.
   • Call first to confirm they can see a trauma/chipped-tooth case immediately.

2. Emergency Dentist of Austin — emergency-focused clinic
   • Offers same-day/after-hours emergency dental care and lists chipped or broken teeth among treated issues. www.emergencydentistofaustin.com
   • Address: 1030 Norwood Park Blvd #324, Austin, TX 78753. www.emergencydentistofaustin.com

3. Austin Emergency Dental — another dedicated emergency option
   • Lists weekend emergency hours and care for chipped/broken teeth. emergencydentalaustin.com
   • Address: 2500 W William Cannon Dr Ste 103, Austin, TX 78745. emergencydentalaustin.com

Before you go:

• Rinse your mouth with water; don’t chew on that side.
• If you have the chipped piece, bring it in a small container (don’t scrub it).
• If there’s swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, jaw pain, loss of consciousness from the fall, or a possible head injury, go to an ER instead.

A couple quick questions so I can narrow the best choice:

1. Are you still near UT/West Campus, and what time is it for you right now?
2. Is it just a small enamel chip, or is there pain/sensitivity, a crack, exposed pink/red area, or a loose tooth?

Yes — since this was trauma from a fall, I’d get the chipped tooth evaluated rather than waiting several days.

Best option for tonight

Austin Emergency Dental — 2500 W William Cannon Dr, Suite 103, (737) 747-4646. They specifically treat chipped/broken teeth, accept walk-ins, and advertise extended/weekend emergency hours. Their posted Saturday hours are 8 AM–8 PM. emergencydentalaustin.com

It’s not particularly close to UT, but I’d call them first and tell them you fell and chipped a tooth to confirm they can see you when you arrive.

If you want something much closer to UT

Treaty Oak Dental is at 2905 San Gabriel St., right by the UT campus, and explicitly handles chipped/broken teeth. However, its posted hours are daytime only, so I wouldn't count on it for tonight. treatyoakdental.com

Important: If the fall also caused loss of consciousness, vomiting, severe headache, confusion, neck pain, a significant jaw injury, uncontrolled bleeding, or major facial swelling, go to an ER rather than just a dentist.

For the tooth itself tonight: rinse gently with water, save any tooth fragment, don't chew on that side, and use a cold compress if you're swollen. emergencydentalaustin.com

If you tell me roughly where you are around UT (e.g. West Campus, North Campus, DKR, Guadalupe), I can look for the closest place that is actually open tonight.

A chipped tooth after a fall is worth getting checked tonight if you can, especially if there’s pain, a sharp edge, sensitivity to cold/air, bleeding, or the tooth feels loose. Since you said UT campus area (Austin), these are the emergency options I’d try first:

1. Emergency Dental of Austin — probably my first call for a trauma-related chip. They advertise same-day/after-hours emergency visits and treatment for chipped or cracked teeth. www.emergencydentistofaustin.com
   • Call: (512) 961-6200 www.emergencydentistofaustin.com

2. Austin Emergency Dental — another emergency-focused clinic; they list chipped/broken teeth among the problems they treat and advertise weekend/late-hour care. emergencydentalaustin.com
   • Call: (737) 747-4646 emergencydentalaustin.com

3. Emergency Dental Of Austin — their site states they handle chipped/cracked teeth and after-hours dental emergencies. edofaustin.flywheelsites.com

Before you go:

• Rinse gently with water.
• If you have the broken piece, put it in a clean container or milk and bring it.
• Avoid chewing on that side.
• If there’s a sharp edge cutting your tongue, you can temporarily cover it with dental wax (or sugar-free gum if that’s all you have).

Go to an ER instead of a dentist tonight if you have a jaw injury, uncontrolled bleeding, facial swelling, trouble breathing/swallowing, loss of consciousness from the fall, or severe head injury symptoms.

If you tell me where on UT campus you are (e.g., near the Tower, West Campus, Dean Keeton, etc.) and whether you need open right now vs. earliest morning, I can narrow the closest option.
