You don't need to diagnose it yourself. Call, describe what happened, and we'll tell you what to do next. Smile Center Dentistry reserves same-day capacity specifically for dental emergencies.
A voicemail doesn't fix a knocked-out tooth. A live person who can triage does. A real person answering the phone at the worst moment matters more than most people realize until they need it.
We assess severity over the phone first — not every situation needs an immediate trip, and we'll tell you honestly. We'd rather triage accurately than tell everyone to rush in regardless of severity.
We hold open slots every single day specifically for urgent walk-ins and emergency calls, not as a rare exception. This means a scheduled patient's appointment doesn't get bumped just because an emergency walked in.
Digital X-rays, re-implantation kits, and temporary restoration materials are stocked and ready, not ordered after you arrive. Our team trains specifically on emergency protocols, not just routine procedures.
No emergency-rate surprise billing — we quote before treatment, the same as any scheduled visit. Emergencies are stressful enough without a surprise bill on top of it.
If you're not sure whether your situation qualifies, call — that's what triage is for.
Rinse it gently, keep it moist, and get here fast; we'll assess whether re-implantation is viable. We'll walk you through what to do with the tooth while you're still on the way.
From a hairline crack to a tooth broken at the gumline, we assess the damage and stabilize it same-day. Temporary restoration is often possible the same visit, with a permanent fix scheduled after.
An abscess can spread quickly if untreated — we treat these as priority cases, not routine appointments. We'll tell you clearly if this needs emergency-room-level care instead of a dental visit.
We use digital X-rays to find the source of severe pain fast, rather than guessing at treatment. Pain management starts the moment you're in the chair.
A missing filling or crown exposes the tooth to sensitivity and further damage — we can often place a temporary same day. We schedule the permanent replacement once the emergency is stabilized.
We check for jaw fracture signs alongside any tooth trauma, referring out immediately if something looks beyond a dental scope. We're honest when a case needs an ER or oral surgeon instead of a dental chair.
Our staff asks a few quick questions to gauge severity before telling you what to do next.
If it's not urgent enough for today, we'll still get you in fast, usually within a day or two.
Digital X-rays and a hands-on exam pinpoint the problem the moment you arrive.
You leave with pain addressed and a clear plan, not just a temporary patch and no explanation.
"Knocked out my tooth playing basketball and they got me in within the hour. Saved the tooth."
"Sunday night toothache turned into an abscess. They saw me first thing Monday and it wasn't even a fight to get an appointment."
"Cracked a molar on a popcorn kernel of all things — temporary fix same day, permanent crown a week later."
"Lost a crown right before a work trip. They fit me in and had it replaced before I flew out."
"Bit my lip hard alongside a chipped tooth from a fall. They checked for jaw fracture before treating the tooth — appreciated the thoroughness."
Most emergencies are seen the same day if you call before mid-afternoon. Calling early in the day gives you the best shot at same-day treatment.
Don't scrub it. Keep it moist and get to us fast; time affects whether re-implantation works. We'll walk you through it step by step on the phone while you're en route.
An abscess can become dangerous if ignored, so we treat swelling with pain as a priority case. We'll tell you over the phone if your symptoms sound like they need same-day care.
Emergency doesn't mean marked up. You'll know the cost range before you arrive. Transparent pricing applies whether you booked weeks ago or called us in a panic an hour ago.
Call +1-866-227-2801 anyway — our line is monitored, and we'll advise whether to come in or if it can wait until morning. Don't assume nothing can be done until morning — call and let us make that call with you.
We're honest on the phone if something is beyond what a dental office should handle. We'd rather redirect you to the right place fast than have you guess.
