We believe emergency care works best when it's uncomplicated, which is why ours focuses on treating one tooth and one issue for a flat fee. £150 gets you a full assessment, whatever X-rays are needed, and enough treatment on the day to bring your pain under control. Exactly what that treatment involves depends on the diagnosis — it could mean removing the tooth, fitting a temporary filling, beginning root canal work, or prescribing antibiotics if that's the appropriate clinical route. Whatever's behind the problem, our priority is always to settle the pain and get you back to normal.
We ask about your symptoms first, then examine the affected tooth to identify the source of the pain.
Should an X-ray help confirm the diagnosis, it's taken there and then with no extra charge.
You'll be given whatever treatment matches your emergency, whether that's an extraction, a temporary filling, root canal treatment getting underway, or another suitable option.
Once the urgent issue is resolved, we'll discuss any further treatment required and provide a written plan if more work is needed.
We're adding emergency dentist cases to our gallery soon. Browse all before & after cases.
Nobody likes a surprise bill, us included — every plan is set out in writing up front, so there's nothing unexpected waiting for you at reception.
The appointment and everything included stay identical — the extra cost simply reflects being open outside normal hours.
If more treatment turns out to be needed once your emergency is under control, we'll explain each option and its cost before doing anything further.

The fee covers everything needed to diagnose and treat one tooth and one issue — your assessment, any X-rays, and immediate treatment where appropriate.
Weekend and bank holiday emergency visits cost £250. You still get the same assessment, X-rays and single-tooth treatment — the extra simply covers us opening outside normal hours.
It depends entirely on what we find — perhaps an extraction, a temporary filling, root canal treatment starting, or antibiotics where that's indicated. Getting you out of pain quickly is always the goal.
Sometimes, yes. Many emergencies are fully resolved in a single visit, but certain teeth need further work afterwards, such as a permanent filling, a crown, or completing root canal treatment. We'll always flag this before you leave.
We'll try our best to fit you in the same day whenever a slot allows. If you're in pain, get in touch with us as soon as you can.
No — any X-rays taken as part of your emergency visit are already built into the £150 fee.
Our emergency appointment is designed around one tooth and one issue. Where more than one tooth needs attention, we'll discuss the best way forward and let you know about any additional cost first.
