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.
A trained staff member answers and asks the right questions to determine if you need to come in immediately. This saves patients an unnecessary trip when a situation can safely wait until morning.
We hold open slots every single day specifically for urgent walk-ins and emergency calls, not as a rare exception. We plan for emergencies every single day, not just when it's convenient for us.
We keep emergency supplies on hand for avulsed teeth, cracked crowns, and abscess drainage. 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. 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.
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.
Facial swelling combined with tooth pain often signals infection that needs same-day drainage and antibiotics. 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.
If the underlying tooth is fine, a lost restoration is usually a quick same-day fix, not a multi-visit ordeal. 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.
We hold emergency capacity open every day, so most Town 'n' Country calls get a same-day appointment.
Digital X-rays and a hands-on exam pinpoint the problem the moment you arrive.
We treat the immediate emergency first, then schedule any follow-up work needed for a permanent fix.
"Called in a panic after my son's tooth got knocked out. They stayed calm and walked us through everything on the phone."
"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."
"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. Every minute counts, so call while you're already on the way if possible.
An abscess can become dangerous if ignored, so we treat swelling with pain as a priority case. Don't wait to see if it goes away on its own — infection rarely resolves without treatment.
No — pricing is quoted upfront during phone triage, the same transparent approach as any scheduled visit. We think charging more for urgency is exactly the wrong time to surprise a patient with cost.
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. After-hours doesn't mean unavailable; it just means a different response path depending on urgency.
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.
