What counts as a dental emergency?
A dental emergency is any sudden issue causing severe pain, swelling, bleeding or damage that cannot wait for a routine appointment. This includes severe toothache, infection or abscess, facial swelling, broken or knocked out teeth, and uncontrolled bleeding. Lost fillings or crowns causing significant discomfort may also need urgent care.
If it affects your ability to eat, sleep or function, you should seek emergency dental treatment promptly.

How much does an emergency dentist cost?
Costs vary depending on the complexity of the issue, but we provide a clear breakdown of fees before any treatment begins.
An emergency visit typically involves two parts
- Emergency Assessment: A fixed fee for the dentist's time and any necessary X-rays to diagnose the problem.
- Treatment Fee: An additional cost based on the specific procedure required.
We ensure you are informed of all costs during the consultation so there are no surprises.
Can you treat toothache immediately?
Yes - our priority during an emergency appointment is to diagnose the cause of your pain and provide immediate relief.
Most toothaches can be managed during your first visit through:
- Prescriptions: If an infection is present.
- Temporary Repairs: Such as a temporary filling for a cracked tooth.
- Immediate Procedures: Like starting a root canal or performing an extraction if necessary.
Do you accept private emergency cases?
Yes - we provide private emergency dental care to both registered and non-registered patients.
If you are experiencing pain, a broken tooth, or a dental injury, you can book a private emergency slot. We aim to see emergency cases as quickly as possible, often on the same day.
What if I break a tooth?
We can repair, crown, or stabilise a broken tooth depending on the severity of the damage.
If you break a tooth, our approach depends on the size of the break:
- Small chips: Often repaired quickly with tooth-coloured composite bonding.
- Moderate breaks: May require a filling or an inlay/onlay to restore shape and function.
- Severe breaks: If the structure is heavily compromised, we may recommend a porcelain crown to protect the remaining tooth.
- Trauma: If the tooth is knocked out or very loose, we provide immediate stabilisation to try and save it.
Do you treat abscesses?
Yes - we provide urgent treatment for dental abscesses to eliminate infection and stop pain.
Depending on the severity, treatment usually involves:
- Drainage: To remove the infection and provide immediate pressure relief.
- Antibiotics: To stop the spread of infection if you have swelling or fever.
- Root Canal or Extraction: To treat the source of the infection and prevent it from returning.
