Urgent dental care

Acute pain, an injury or a damaged restoration needs assessment. Call and explain what happened; urgent appointment availability is confirmed individually. An online request is not an emergency service. If breathing or swallowing is difficult, or swelling affects the neck or eye area, seek emergency medical care immediately.

These pages explain different areas of dental care. The availability of a particular treatment and any involvement of specialist colleagues are discussed at consultation.

When to seek advice

  • Acute dental pain or swelling.
  • A chipped tooth, lost filling or crown.
  • Dental injury or a damaged denture.

How assessment begins

Describe pain, swelling, injury and when symptoms started. The cause is assessed in person rather than through the booking form.

Choosing an approach

After assessment, the dentist discusses indicated care, which may be temporary treatment, restoration or another intervention.

For an acute problem, call to check appointment availability. This website is not a round-the-clock emergency service and does not promise same-day care.

What affects the cost

  • Assessment and the care required
  • Temporary care and subsequent definitive treatment

Limitations and contraindications

Swelling that makes breathing or swallowing difficult needs immediate emergency medical care. Do not wait for a form or message response.

Before choosing a method, the dentist reviews your general health, medicines, allergies and assessment findings. Website information does not replace an individual review of contraindications.
