Same Day Dentistry
Caring for All Your Same-Day Dental Needs at CarolinasDentist
Offering Prompt Care When You Need It
At CarolinasDentist, we prioritize your dental health by offering comprehensive care for your same-day dental needs. Committed to providing efficient and effective dentistry, we leave room in our schedule for unexpected dental situations that arise. Whether you require a routine cleaning or same-day dental treatment we are here to deliver personalized care, all in the convenience of a single visit!
When to Schedule Same-Day Care
Experiencing an issue with a tooth can be stressful, especially when you’re unsure if the issue requires immediate or same-day treatment. However, at CarolinasDentist, we’ve seen it all. If you’re curious about what dental situations we prefer to quickly address, refer to the list below.
- Broken dental restoration (crown, bridge, or denture)
- Chipped or cracked tooth
- Inflamed gums
- Knocked-out tooth
- Lost filling
- Persistent toothache
If you’re experiencing any of the above issues, please contact us right away so we can get you into our office for immediate treatment. We don’t want you to have to wait in pain or spend too much time trying to find a qualified dentist near you. We’ve got you covered!
Cost of Same-Day Dentistry
The cost of treatment often prevents patients from getting the quality of dental care they need. We never want our patients to have to choose between their oral health and their budget, especially when time is of the essence. We offer a variety of payment options, including our CarolinasDentist Membership Plan, CareCredit® and to ensure a healthy smile is always within your reach.
Same-Day Dentistry FAQs
Now that’s a good question. Preparing for the unknown obviously has its challenges, but there are some preparations you can do. Indeed, some dental situations are not always preventable, but you can better respond to them if you have the right tools. We recommend adding a few dental-specific items to your at-home dental kit, including floss, gauze, and a small container to transport a broken tooth. You should also have our contact information in an easily accessible spot so you can speak with a member of our team immediately.
Our team will be glad to let you know when we believe you should visit us again. If you leave without scheduling your next appointment with our friendly front office team, just give us a call, and we can get your next visit scheduled at a convenient time for you.
Let Us Handle Your Same-Day Dental Crowns
Dental crowns cover the “crown” of a tooth, acting as a cap, and that’s how they get their name. We employ them to restore decayed, worn down, cracked, and broken teeth. And we always make sure they’re designed to look and fit naturally for you.
We’re excited to offer same-day crowns at CarolinasDentist using CEREC®, which cuts a multiple-visit procedure down to just one visit. We’ll take digital impressions of your teeth (no more of those uncomfortable, goopy impression trays), design your custom crown, and send the information to the on-site milling center (no waiting weeks for an off-site lab to do it for us). This modern technology also allows us to make any corrections and adjustments right then and there, saving you time and letting you walk out with a permanent, custom-fit restoration.
Same-Day Dental Crowns FAQs
Are same-day dental crowns as good as regular crowns?
Using advanced technology like CAD/CAM systems, same-day dental crowns are custom-made on-site, ensuring a precise fit and natural appearance. Same-day crowns are often made out of porcelain, offering durability and functionality similar to traditional crowns. If you have not had a same-day crown before, one of our dentists will inform you of all its benefits!
Why would I need a same-day crown?
A same-day dental crown offers convenience and efficiency in restoring a damaged or weak tooth. It can also help you feel confident in your smile again. Same-day crowns provide an immediate solution for patients looking to restore their smiles beautifully and effectively.
Will a dentist do a same-day extraction?
In many cases, yes — if the tooth is infected, broken, or causing severe pain, a same-day extraction may be scheduled. After an exam and X-ray, we can determine if it is safe to remove the tooth immediately or if medication or additional preparation is needed first. We can also discuss our tooth-replacement options with you, if applicable. Our priority is to relieve pain and protect your oral health as quickly as possible.
Do I have to call to make a same-day dentist appointment?
It is best to call so we can assess your situation and secure the soonest available time. We try to read and respond to virtual requests as quickly as we can, but calling helps us prioritize urgent cases and give you instructions before you arrive. The sooner you contact us, the faster we can help.
Can I visit another location if my usual office is booked for the day?
Yes! CarolinasDentist has more than a dozen locations across North Carolina, so you are welcome to schedule a same-day visit at another office if your regular location has no openings. All of our offices share patient records, so the team at any location can access your history and provide the same level of consistent, seamless care without delay.
Extremely friendly and amazing people. It was very joyful and easy. I can say doing fillings there was very relaxing and the cleaning was fantastic and fun. They take great care of you. I couldn’t be happier than I was being there.

With that being said Dr. Jandki Barot is amazing as well as Nina, her Dental Assistant. They are a perfect team! I was scared to have my teeth pulled for top dentures. It was a big step for me.Dr. Jandki Barot tookher time making sure my mouth was numb. She numbed the areas individually to ensured they were numb before starting. She was patient and waited until the meds were working to start during each section. She was very detailed oriented and made sure everything was as it should be before going to the next step. She was very aware of the amount of pressure she was using on the extractions and careful not to hurt me. Everything was amazing. I’m day 1 follow up and had a few sore spots but she adujusted those areas and they feel better. It has been an amazing experience.If you have any concerns with your current dentist, I recommend you get an appointment with Dr. Jandki Barot and Nina. You won’t be disappointed. Read Less

It took me a while to find an office that I liked and I have been with them for about 3 years now! They accommodate me when I need evening appointments and are very helpful when it comes to making decisions on the goals I have for my smile! They also make me feel comfortable enough to bring my infant child because they are always quick and they even help entertain him so that I can finish getting my teeth cleaned! Lol. It’s also a plus that it’s basically an all female office, which I absolutely love! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this office, for sure!!!! Read Less

Both times I have been in, they have always been super friendly with both me and each other. To have a staff that works well together makes a patient feel comfortable. Today I had to have my first ever crown and I am not a fan of needles or pain. They handled the anxiety well. They asked what exactly my anxiety was about and wanted to handle it the best they could (aka leave me numbed up a bit longer). They were very encouraging throughout the entire process, telling me I'm doing great. For someone who is not a fan of dental procedures, this office has put me at ease. I won't be afraid the next crown I have to get 🙂 Read Less

They were warm and friendly. Made me feel comfortable before and after the process. I appreciate their hard work and dedication. Because of them I no longer have to worry about my wisdom teeth bothering me and can now start the process to a better smile. Thank you all! I hope you guys have a great day!

Read MoreThis review is for Dr. Courtney Lavallais , Jessica ( Front Desk) Jennifer ( Finance) & Hannah who I believe works the phones and front desk at this office. I have never been here personally but I did call to make an appointment and she was so helpful. I have never met a dental person who wanted to help so much. She was simply amazing! I was going to the Carolina’s dentist spring lake and transferred to this office due to my provider leaving for another office and she was very accommodating. She told me that they were not taking my dental insurance at this time because it’s a military dental insurance and they are seeing a lot of military patients so it was on hold. I mentioned to her my severe dental anxiety issues and how my provider was leaving and I truly wanted to establish care. She did not hesitate to reach out to the manager of the office who approved me to transfer there despite they were not taking anymore patients at this time with my insurance. How amazing! I am thrilled. Hannah is so sweet! So kind! So caring! God bless you. I will update this review after my first visit with Dr. Courtney L. I’m for the first time in my life excited about seeing the dentist. * UPDATED REVIEW* Highly recommend! I have LOTS of anxiety about going to the dentist. After this visit, I have become an advocate. Dr. Courtney Lavallais and her assistant were amazing. They made me feel comfortable and I believe the treatment plan is actionable and has my best interest in mind. Dr. Lavallais is such a gentle spirit and truly has your dental health at her best interest. She is god sent and truly cares how she makes her patients feel. I am so blessed to have her! Also a huge thank you to Ms. Jessica at the front desk she is so kind so helpful and patient thank you for being you! Read Less
