Skip to content We can treat many urgent dental problems in a single visit, right here in our office.
Dental problems rarely show up at a good time. A filling falls out at lunch, a tooth cracks on a popcorn kernel, or a dull ache turns into throbbing pain overnight. When that happens, you want two things: relief and a clear answer about what’s wrong.
At SmileCraft Dental, we can diagnose and treat many urgent problems in the same office, often without a referral. We do emergency extractions, root canals, tooth-colored fillings, and same-day CEREC crowns. Because we provide care from routine visits through advanced treatment, the same team that handles your emergency can also handle your follow-up.
If you’re in Block House Creek, Silverado Ranch, or Cedar Park, our office at the Leander–Cedar Park line is usually 5 to 10 minutes away. Call (512) 456-8009 to get started.
Sometimes a tooth is too damaged or infected to save. Removing it can relieve pain and stop an infection from spreading. If you're thinking about an implant later, we can place a bone graft at the same time.
When the pulp inside a tooth becomes infected or inflamed, it can cause intense pain. The pulp is the soft tissue that holds the nerve. A root canal removes the affected pulp, then cleans and seals the inside of the tooth. Often, that lets you keep your natural tooth. Afterward, we often recommend a crown, especially for back teeth, to protect the tooth.
We can often fix cavities, small breaks, and lost fillings with composite fillings. They're made from a tooth-colored material, shaded to match your natural teeth. Fixing a small problem quickly can keep it from turning into a bigger one.
A cracked or badly broken tooth often needs a crown. We offer zirconia and porcelain crowns, and we'll help you choose the material that fits the tooth and your bite. With Dentsply Sirona CEREC technology, we scan the tooth with our intraoral 3D scanner and design the crown on screen. Then we mill it in our office and bond it in place. Depending on the material and your case, we can complete many crowns in a single visit, with no temporary crown or second appointment.
When you arrive, we’ll help you settle in. Our treatment rooms have dimmable lights and soft music, and you can ask for a blanket, neck pillow, noise-canceling headphones, or a beverage from our Comfort Menu. If you’re anxious, nitrous oxide is available as an add-on.
Next, we’ll examine the problem and take any images we need, which you’ll see on screen with us. We’ll explain what’s wrong, your options, and what each one costs. If something is urgent, we’ll tell you why. For anything else, we’ll decide together on the treatment that fits your personal and financial needs, and you can take time to think it over.
Depending on the situation, we’ll treat the problem during your visit, relieve your pain, and plan next steps. Before you leave, you’ll get aftercare instructions. Call us if your pain or swelling worsens.
When you’re in pain, cost is probably the last thing you want to sort out, so we’ll help with that part. SmileCraft Dental is in network with most major PPO plans, and we also offer fee-for-service care. When possible, our front desk will review your coverage and estimated costs before treatment so you know what to expect. If something needs attention right away, we’ll focus on relieving your pain first and go over costs as soon as we can. We can’t guarantee coverage or your exact out-of-pocket cost, but we’ll explain what we find.
No insurance? Our Dental Savings Plan can help.
Our in-house Dental Savings Plan is a yearly membership with no waiting periods, no annual limits, and no claim forms. Members save 30% on most treatments, and each plan year also includes:
An individual membership is $449 a year. A family membership is $699 a year and covers two adults and two children under 16, plus $199 for each additional child. The Dental Savings Plan is a discount plan, not dental insurance.
For treatments like a root canal or same-day crown, Cherry can help spread the cost, and you can apply on our website. New to SmileCraft? See our current new patient specials.
You’ll find us at 1513 E New Hope Dr Ste. A1, Leander, TX 78641, near Haute Spot and the Cedar Park Costco.

Often, but not always. After an exam and images, we’ll tell you whether a filling, root canal, or crown can save the tooth. If extraction is the better option, we’ll explain why.
We numb the area thoroughly before starting, and many people find the procedure relieves the pain that brought them in. Some tenderness afterward is normal. We’ll explain how to manage it.
In many cases, yes. With CEREC, we scan, design, mill, and bond your crown in one visit. We offer zirconia and porcelain crowns, and we’ll let you know if your tooth or chosen material needs a different approach.
We’ll give you aftercare instructions and check on your healing. When you’re ready, we’ll talk about replacing the tooth with an implant, bridge, or denture.
Call us now, and we’ll do our best to see you today and treat the problem.
