A cracked crown at 9 p.m. or a swollen jaw on a Sunday doesn't wait for office hours — neither do we. Smile Center Dentistry reserves same-day capacity specifically for dental emergencies.
Emergencies don't follow a schedule, so our capacity planning doesn't assume they will. We've built our whole daily schedule around the fact that some patients weren't planning to see a dentist today.
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.
Same-day emergency capacity is built into our daily schedule, not something we scramble to find. We plan for emergencies every single day, not just when it's convenient for us.
Digital X-rays, re-implantation kits, and temporary restoration materials are stocked and ready, not ordered after you arrive. Nothing gets delayed waiting on a supply order when minutes actually matter.
No emergency-rate surprise billing — we quote before treatment, the same as any scheduled visit. We think pricing transparency matters most exactly when patients are least prepared to negotiate.
If you're not sure whether your situation qualifies, call — that's what triage is for.
Time matters — a tooth re-implanted within 30-60 minutes has a real chance of surviving. 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.
Cuts to the lip, tongue, or cheek alongside dental trauma need assessment to rule out deeper injury. We're honest when a case needs an ER or oral surgeon instead of a dental chair.
Call +1-866-227-2801 and describe what happened — a knocked-out tooth is handled differently than a lingering ache.
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."
"Swelling in my jaw scared me, but they got me in same-day and it turned out to be treatable without an ER trip."
"They stabilized my broken tooth the same afternoon I called, no multi-day wait."
"Called about a lost filling and they had a temporary in place within two hours."
"Called at 7am panicking and they had someone at the desk immediately, not a machine."
Most emergencies are seen the same day if you call before mid-afternoon. We'll always tell you honestly if today isn't possible and what the next best option is.
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.
Yes — especially with facial swelling or fever, it needs same-day treatment and sometimes antibiotics before it spreads. We'll tell you over the phone if your symptoms sound like they need same-day care.
No — pricing is quoted upfront during phone triage, the same transparent approach as any scheduled visit. 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.
For facial trauma, uncontrolled bleeding, or difficulty breathing/swallowing, go to the ER first — otherwise, call us and we'll advise. When in doubt, call us first — we can help you decide quickly which direction to go.
