Emergency dental care

We are open 8.30am - 5.00pm and where possible offer same day emergency appointments to our patients.

What should I do in a dental emergency?

On occasion you may be affected by severe toothache or swelling, it is important to contact us as soon as possible and we will offer you an emergency appointment with one of our dentists.

If you have chipped or broken a tooth as a result of an accident or injury, it is very important that you see a dentist as soon as possible. The same goes for one or more knocked out teeth. The sooner you are seen by a dental professional the better the chances that the teeth could be re-implanted, depending on the severity of your injury.

How it works

  1. 01

    Examination

    A thorough examination of the injured area will be undertaken. This may include dental x-rays to determine the extent of the damage.

  2. 02

    Pain relief

    Depending on the severity of the pain, the area will be numbed with local anaesthetic. Our main aim of this appointment is to get you out of pain.

  3. 03

    Treatment

    The injured area will be sterilised to reduce the risk of infection. The damaged teeth will be restored temporarily or permanently, depending on the case.

  4. 04

    Next steps

    In severe cases the affected tooth may require extraction and implant or tooth replacement treatments will be discussed at a subsequent appointment.
