Reliability When You Need It Most

Dental pain or trauma can be distressing, and we prioritise providing prompt, effective care when you need it most.

Our Approach

We focus first on relieving pain and stabilising the situation. Once you are comfortable, we will discuss the underlying cause and any further treatment required.

Aftercare and Follow-Up

You will receive clear advice and, where necessary, a structured plan to restore your dental health.

Steps to your emergency appointment:

  1. Call us

    • Give us a ring as a matter of urgency. The sooner the better!
  2. Telephone advice

    • Our helpful reception staff will provide immediate advice over the phone and try to arrange an appointment on the same day.
  3. Assessment

    • One of our dentists will listen to your concerns, assess the problem, and ensure you are relieved of pain.
  4. Treatment

    • Following clear discussions, treatment will either be carried out immediately or during a follow-up visit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as a dental emergency?

Severe pain, swelling, trauma, or signs of spreading infection should be treated as a priority.

Can I be seen on the same day?

We aim to offer same-day appointments wherever possible.

What should I do if I knock out a tooth?

Keep the tooth or fragment moist (ideally stored in milk or saliva) and call us immediately. Time is critical!

Will you fix the problem straight away?

Our first priority is pain relief and stabilisation. Definitive treatment may be arranged shortly after in a follow-up appointment.
