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.
A voicemail doesn't fix a knocked-out tooth. A live person who can triage does. 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. This means a scheduled patient's appointment doesn't get bumped just because an emergency walked in.
Digital X-rays, re-implantation kits, and temporary restoration materials are stocked and ready, not ordered after you arrive. 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. 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.
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 Rogers calls get a same-day appointment.
We diagnose fast because pain doesn't wait, and neither should the answer.
We treat the immediate emergency first, then schedule any follow-up work needed for a permanent fix.
"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."
"Called at 7am panicking and they had someone at the desk immediately, not a machine."
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.
Handle it by the crown, not the root, rinse gently if dirty, and try to keep it moist — in milk or your own saliva if possible. 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. 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.
We triage after-hours calls the same way, just with a slightly different response window depending on severity. 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. We'd rather redirect you to the right place fast than have you guess.
Whether you're in the heart of Rogers 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.
Same-day slots are reserved for exactly this. Call and we'll get you in.
