Private emergency dental care
Private urgent assessment focused on diagnosing the problem and agreeing immediate next steps.
Could this treatment help you?
A private emergency appointment gets the urgent problem — pain, swelling, a broken or lost tooth — assessed and treated the same day wherever possible, without needing to be an existing patient of the practice.
The visit deals with the emergency first; anything longer-term is planned afterwards with written costs, and you decide what happens next.
This may suit you if
You need to be seen quickly — you are not registered locally, cannot get an appointment elsewhere in time, or simply want the first available slot.
What it will not do
The emergency fee covers assessment and immediate care; definitive treatment such as a crown or root canal is costed separately and in writing before you commit. A spreading facial swelling or difficulty swallowing needs hospital emergency care, not a dental surgery.

Afterwards

Questions patients usually ask.
How much is a private emergency appointment?
The fee is confirmed when you book, and any treatment beyond the emergency visit is costed in writing before it starts.
Do I need to be a registered patient?
No — private emergency appointments are open to new patients. Call and explain the problem.
