Life doesn’t schedule dental problems in advance. A crown chips on a Tuesday morning. You wake up with a toothache that wasn’t there yesterday. Your child takes a fall and knocks a tooth. When something happens with your teeth, waiting a week to see someone isn’t just uncomfortable — it can mean the difference between saving a tooth and losing it.
That’s why Schroeder Dental Group keeps same-day appointment availability for patients throughout Apopka and the surrounding communities. Dr. Katrina M. Schroeder, DMD has been serving this community since 2006, and keeping her schedule accessible to patients who need to be seen today — not next Tuesday — has always been part of how we practice.
A lot of practices advertise availability without delivering it. When we say same-day, we mean it: if you call our office at 407-886-1611 and we have an opening that day, we will see you. Our front desk works hard to protect time in Dr. Schroeder’s schedule for patients who need urgent or unplanned care. We’ve built our practice in Apopka around the understanding that dental problems don’t wait — and neither should you.
Same-day availability at our office covers a wide range of situations, from true dental emergencies to patients who simply haven’t been in for a while and want to get started without a multi-week wait. Whether you’re a new patient, an existing patient, or a family member of someone we already see — call us. If we can get you in today, we will.
One of the most significant conveniences we offer Apopka patients is same-day dental crowns. Traditional crown procedures require two appointments with a temporary crown in between — meaning two shots of anesthesia, two visits, and a week or more of wearing a temporary restoration that can feel uncomfortable and come loose.
At Schroeder Dental Group, our in-house dental lab and digital technology allow Dr. Schroeder to design, fabricate, and place your permanent crown in a single appointment. You come in, we prepare the tooth, design the crown using our CAD/CAM technology, mill it on-site, and seat it — all in one visit. You leave with a permanent crown, not a temporary.
This matters particularly when a crown is broken or a tooth is damaged and needs immediate protection. Leaving a prepared tooth under a temporary restoration is a temporary solution at best. A permanent, properly fitted crown placed the same day is better dentistry and more convenient for you.
Dr. Schroeder has been practicing in Apopka since 2006. Over nearly two decades, she’s built a practice where patients feel genuinely cared for — not like a number moving through an assembly line. That means taking the time to explain what’s happening, what the options are, and what the right treatment actually is for your specific situation.
It also means maintaining modern technology that makes same-day care genuinely possible at a high level of quality. Our office features:
Broken or chipped tooth. A broken tooth — whether from biting something hard, a fall, or an old restoration giving way — can be sharp, uncomfortable, and structurally vulnerable. Getting it evaluated and treated the same day prevents further damage and gets you out of discomfort faster.
Lost filling or crown. A tooth that’s lost its filling or had a crown come off is exposed. It can be temperature-sensitive, structurally weak, and at risk of further fracture. A same-day visit allows us to evaluate what’s needed and restore protection to the tooth promptly.
Dental pain or sensitivity. New or worsening tooth pain is your body telling you something needs attention. We’d rather see you when the pain first appears than wait and manage something that’s had time to progress. Pain that starts as sensitivity can develop into an abscess or infection if ignored — and infections don’t improve on their own.
New patient who needs to be seen soon. If you’re new to Apopka, recently lost your previous dentist, or have simply been putting off establishing care and now need to be seen, call us. We accept new patients and we work to get you in promptly.
Dental anxiety patients. If dental anxiety has been keeping you from seeking care, we understand — and we’ve helped many Apopka patients work through it. Dr. Schroeder and our team approach anxious patients with patience and without judgment.
The dental restoration process has been transformed by CAD/CAM technology — computer-aided design and manufacturing that allows restorations to be designed digitally and milled from ceramic blocks on-site. CAD/CAM dentistry is what makes same-day crowns possible at a quality level that matches or exceeds traditionally fabricated restorations. Dr. Schroeder has invested in this technology specifically because it allows her to provide better care with fewer appointments.
Our dental laser — the Waterlase MD system — further expands same-day capability. Laser dentistry enables certain soft tissue procedures, cavity treatments, and gum treatments to be performed with minimal bleeding, less post-operative discomfort, and faster healing than traditional approaches.
Schroeder Dental Group accepts most dental insurance plans and works with patients on treatment planning that fits their budget. Our office is conveniently located in Apopka, with easy access for patients throughout the 32703 and 32712 zip codes, and for neighbors in Ocoee, Winter Garden, and along the US-441 corridor.
Call our office at 407-886-1611. Our team will check same-day availability and get you scheduled as quickly as possible. The earlier in the day you call, the better your chances of being seen that day.
Yes. We accept new patients and make every effort to see those with urgent needs the same day. If you’re in pain or have a dental problem that needs immediate attention, don’t hesitate to call.
The process typically takes 2–3 hours from start to finish, including preparation, digital design, milling, and final seating. Most patients are pleasantly surprised by how manageable the process is compared to a two-appointment traditional crown.
