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.
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.
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.
Here's what typically brings Mooreville patients through our doors on an urgent basis.
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.
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.
Pain that's sharp, throbbing, or keeps you up at night usually points to something that needs same-day attention, not a wait-and-see approach. 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.
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.
We diagnose fast because pain doesn't wait, and neither should the answer.
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."
"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. Don't wait to see if it goes away on its own — infection rarely resolves without treatment.
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. After-hours doesn't mean unavailable; it just means a different response path depending on urgency.
We're honest on the phone if something is beyond what a dental office should handle. When in doubt, call us first — we can help you decide quickly which direction to go.
Smile Center Dentistry's emergency line covers Mooreville and the surrounding Mooreville, MS communities, with same-day capacity reserved daily. Response times stay short because we don't overbook our emergency capacity across too wide an area.
Same-day slots are reserved for exactly this. Call and we'll get you in.
