No one should have to go without dental care when they need it the most.

Our same-day emergency dentist appointments will get you pain-free as soon as possible.

What to expect from your emergency appointment

Our reception team will ask you a few questions about your condition and book you in for an emergency appointment. You can also book an emergency dental appointment online should you wish to.

During your appointment, your dentist will examine your mouth and determine a diagnosis. If your dental emergency is a cosmetic issue, we will do our best to fix your tooth with a temporary solution. If you have come to us in a great deal of pain, we will do everything we can to send you home feeling well and pain-free.

Depending on the emergency, we may need to see you again for a follow-up restorative treatment or check-up.
