Why patients call us first
Dental emergencies do not wait. Neither do we.
Every part of our emergency service is built around one goal: get you out of pain quickly, safely and without a nasty surprise on the bill.
Genuinely gentle
Modern anaesthetics, numbing gel before every injection and sedation options for anxious patients. Tell us you are nervous — we will take it slowly.
Clear, fixed pricing
You get a written price before treatment starts. Most major insurers accepted, and interest-free plans spread the cost over 6 to 24 months.
Diagnosed properly
Low-dose digital X-rays and intraoral cameras on site, so we treat the actual cause instead of sending you home with painkillers.
Emergency treatments
What we can treat today
If it hurts, bleeds, swells or has broken, it belongs on this list. Not sure? Call us and we will triage it over the phone at no charge.
Severe toothache
From $89 · emergency examThrobbing, constant or wake-you-at-night pain is usually infection or an exposed nerve. We find the source and relieve it in the same visit.
Get relief todayDental abscess
Same-day drainageFacial swelling and a bad taste mean infection that can spread fast. We drain, treat and prescribe antibiotics where clinically appropriate.
Treat an abscessBroken or chipped tooth
Repaired in one visitComposite bonding, temporary crowns and same-day repairs so you leave with a tooth that looks and works like it did this morning.
Repair my toothKnocked-out tooth
Call within 30 minutesA fully knocked-out adult tooth can often be re-implanted if you act fast. Keep it in milk, call us immediately and come straight in.
Call right nowEmergency root canal
Often a single visitWhen the nerve is infected, a root canal removes the pain and saves the tooth. Modern rotary instruments make it far quicker than its reputation.

What patients say after an emergency visit
Sample testimonials shown for layout purposes. Replace with your own verified patient reviews before running live traffic.
Called at 7am with a swollen jaw and was in the chair by 9. The dentist explained exactly what was happening before touching anything. Pain gone the same morning.
Chipped a front tooth an hour before a wedding. They rebuilt it with bonding while I waited and honestly you cannot tell which tooth it was.
I am genuinely phobic about dentists. They talked me through every step, stopped whenever I raised my hand, and the price was exactly what I was quoted.

Common questions
Emergency dentist FAQs
Straight answers to what people ask us on the phone every day.
Any pain that stops you sleeping, eating or concentrating, plus facial swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, a knocked-out or badly broken tooth, or a lost crown on a sensitive tooth. If you are unsure, call us — phone triage is free and takes about two minutes.
We hold emergency appointments open every day. Patients who call before 6pm are almost always seen the same day, and the average wait once you arrive is around 18 minutes. True emergencies such as facial swelling or trauma are prioritised ahead of routine bookings.
The emergency exam, including any X-rays needed, starts at $89. Treatment is quoted in writing before we begin, so you always approve the cost first. We accept most major insurance plans and offer interest-free payment plans over 6 to 24 months.
Getting you out of pain is the entire point of the visit. We apply numbing gel before any injection, use modern long-acting anaesthetics, and offer oral or inhalation sedation for anxious patients. Most people describe the appointment as far easier than the toothache that brought them in.
Pick the tooth up by the crown, never the root. Rinse it gently in milk or saline — never scrub it — and if you can, place it back in the socket and bite on a clean cloth. Otherwise keep it in a cup of milk and call us immediately. Re-implantation is most successful within the first 30 to 60 minutes.
Yes to both. You do not need to be registered with us and you do not need a referral. Calling ahead is still worth it because we can prepare the room and cut your waiting time significantly.
