Our goal is to relieve your pain, stabilize your condition, and provide definitive treatment as efficiently as possible.

What to Do in a Dental Emergency
Call Cape Fear Smiles at 910-763-0931 immediately. Our team will provide guidance over the phone and schedule you for the earliest available appointment—often the same day. In the meantime, manage pain with over-the-counter medication, apply cold compresses for swelling, and save any pieces of broken teeth or restorations.
What to Expect
When you arrive, we will evaluate your condition, take any necessary imaging, and address your immediate needs. Whether that means pain relief, temporary stabilization, or definitive treatment, our priority is your comfort and health. Follow-up care is scheduled as needed to complete any treatment that could not be finished in the emergency visit.
