Prompt Care to Relieve Your Pain
Dental emergencies can happen when you least expect them, and getting out of pain is our top priority. Our emergency dental services are designed to address urgent dental issues such as severe tooth pain, a broken tooth, or an unexpected injury. During your emergency visit, which typically lasts 30 minutes, our goal is to relieve your discomfort and assess the situation. You may need to come back for further comprehensive treatment if more in-depth care is required.
A dental emergency includes any situation where immediate dental care is necessary to alleviate pain, save a tooth, or prevent further damage. Common dental emergencies include:
- Severe Toothache : Persistent or severe pain could indicate an infection or abscess that requires immediate attention.
- Broken or Chipped Tooth : A cracked or broken tooth can be painful, and delaying treatment may result in further damage.
- Knocked-Out Tooth : Acting quickly increases the chances of saving a tooth. Keep it in milk or gently place it back in the socket until you reach our clinic.
- Lost Filling or Crown : When a filling or crown is lost, the tooth becomes vulnerable, and emergency treatment can help protect it.
- Facial Swelling or Bleeding : These symptoms may indicate a more serious underlying issue, such as infection or trauma, which requires urgent care.
Our emergency appointments focus on providing immediate relief. During the 30-minute visit, we will assess your condition and take the necessary steps to get you out of pain. This may involve a temporary fix or pain relief measures, but if the issue requires more comprehensive treatment, such as root canal therapy or restorative work, you may need to schedule a follow-up appointment for further care.
Fast and Effective Treatment
We understand that dental emergencies are stressful, which is why we strive to see patients as soon as possible. Our skilled team will take swift action to relieve your pain and address the problem. Whether you need a temporary solution or a long-term treatment plan, we’ll ensure you leave the clinic feeling more comfortable.

Preventing Dental Emergencies
While not all dental emergencies can be avoided, regular check-ups and proper oral care can help reduce the risk. Wearing a custom-fitted mouthguard during sports or using a nightguard if you grind your teeth can protect your smile and prevent injuries.
Cost of Emergency Dental Care
The cost of emergency dental treatment depends on the nature of the issue and the treatment required. We will always provide a detailed quote before proceeding with any care, outlining the total cost, your insurance rebate, and the gap you will need to pay. Our team is here to help you manage your dental emergency and provide the care you need to get back to feeling your best.
