Knocked-out tooth, sudden abscess, or pain that won't quit: our Hayesville emergency line is staffed for exactly this. 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. 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. 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.
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.
A broken tooth left untreated can expose the nerve — we prioritize these cases for rapid assessment. 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.
We hold emergency capacity open every day, so most Hayesville calls get a same-day appointment.
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."
"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."
We prioritize same-day slots for anything urgent, and phone triage tells you exactly what to expect. 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. Every minute counts, so call while you're already on the way if possible.
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.
Emergency doesn't mean marked up. You'll know the cost range before you arrive. 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. 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.
