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. This means a scheduled patient's appointment doesn't get bumped just because an emergency walked in.
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.
You'll hear the likely cost range during phone triage, before you even walk in the door. Emergencies are stressful enough without a surprise bill on top of it.
Here's what typically brings Logan patients through our doors on an urgent basis.
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.
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.
We hold emergency capacity open every day, so most Logan calls get a same-day appointment.
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."
"Swelling in my jaw scared me, but they got me in same-day and it turned out to be treatable without an ER trip."
"Cracked a molar on a popcorn kernel of all things — temporary fix same day, permanent crown a week later."
"Called about a lost filling and they had a temporary in place within two hours."
"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. 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. 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. 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.
Whether you're in the heart of Logan or just outside it, our team is close enough to see you fast. Response times stay short because we don't overbook our emergency capacity across too wide an area.
Licensed, equipped, and ready — call now and talk to a real person, not a menu.
