Do you offer same-day emergency appointments?

Yes. We prioritise urgent cases and aim to provide same-day emergency appointments whenever availability allows.

Is a broken crown or veneer considered an emergency?

Yes. Damaged restorations can expose the underlying tooth and increase the risk of infection or further damage. Prompt assessment is recommended.

Will root canal treatment be completed during the emergency visit?

Emergency visits focus on assessment and stabilisation. Definitive treatments such as root canal therapy are usually scheduled separately.

What should I do if I knock out a tooth?

Hold the tooth by the crown, rinse gently if necessary, place it in milk and contact the clinic immediately for urgent advice.

What happens after a dental emergency?

In many cases, emergency treatment allows us to relieve pain and save the tooth.

When this happens, we will explain all available options to restore your smile, including:

Temporary solutions

Bridges or dentures
