Don't Wait Out the Pain. These Are All Dental Emergencies.

If you're experiencing any of the following, you need to be seen today, not tomorrow, not next week. Dental emergencies don't resolve on their own. Every hour you wait can make the situation harder and more costly to treat.

Severe or throbbing tooth pain, especially pain that woke you up
Broken, chipped, or knocked-out tooth
Lost or loose crown, filling, or dental work
Facial swelling or swollen jaw, this can signal a spreading infection
Dental abscess, visible pus, fever, or taste of infection
Uncontrolled bleeding from the mouth
Impacted or infected wisdom tooth
Dental trauma from an accident, fall, or sports injury

Not sure if your situation qualifies? Call us anyway. If you’re in pain, it counts.

Your Questions, Answered Honestly

Can I really get seen today?

Yes. Smile Lab offers same-day emergency appointments 365 days a year, including evenings and weekends. Call (332) 222-8660 and our team will get you in as quickly as possible, often within hours.

What counts as a dental emergency?

Any situation involving severe or worsening pain, uncontrolled bleeding, facial swelling, a knocked-out or broken tooth, lost crown, or signs of infection qualifies. If you’re unsure — call us anyway. We’d always rather you check than wait too long.

How much will it cost?

We’ll give you a clear cost breakdown before any treatment begins. For patients with PPO insurance, we verify your coverage first so there are no surprises. For uninsured patients, our emergency consultation is $99. Flexible payment plans are available for larger treatments.

Do you accept my insurance?

We accept most major PPO insurance plans including Aetna, Cigna, Delta Dental, Guardian, MetLife, UnitedHealthcare, Anthem/BCBS, and more. We do not accept Medicaid or HMO plans. Use the insurance check tool below or call us and we’ll verify in minutes.

What should I do while waiting for my appointment?

For a knocked-out tooth: keep it moist in milk or between your cheek and gum. For pain: take over-the-counter pain relievers as directed. For swelling: apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek. For bleeding: apply gentle pressure with clean gauze. Most importantly, call (332) 222-8660 so we can guide you on the way in.

I haven't been to the dentist in years. Will you judge me?

Not at all. Many of our emergency patients come to us after years away. We’re here to help, not lecture. As one of our patients put it: ‘Super nice and non-judgmental staff. Nice waiting area and quick treatment. 10/10 recommend.

What if I'm terrified of the dentist?

You’re in good company — and you’re in the right place. Dental anxiety is something our team handles every single day. The space, the music, the approach, it’s designed to make even the most anxious patient feel safe. Hundreds of our reviews describe this exact experience.
