Treating a dental emergency

You may have a regular dentist somewhere else and just need a quick solution to dental pain or discomfort.  The important thing is to make you comfortable so you can then make informed decisions about your dental care without the stress of being in pain.  If you have a dentist somewhere else we can liaise with them and forward your x-rays via email or print them off for you to take away along with any suggested longer term treatment plans.

What are the costs?

We have two types of emergency appointments at either £68 or £135.  Please note only small fillings may be carried out for the £135, we will always do as much treatment as possible for the fees.  If antibiotics are needed this is an additional fee of £12.50. “We promise to provide a clear explanation of  any treatment options available and detailed costs.”

For those patients on our dental health plan there is a 30% reduction in the emergency fee to £47.50 and £94.50.

How do I know which appointment I need?

To give you an idea of what can be treated under each appointment, below is a short list of treatments, please note this is a guide only, when you speak to one of our receptionists Jan, Charlotte or Rachel they will discuss your specific requirements.

Treatment usually carried out within the £68 appointment.

• Temporary filling
• Crown and Bridge recement
• Tooth sensitivity
• Assessing problems with wisdom teeth

Treatments usually carried out within the £135 appointment

• Extirpation to relieve extreme dental pain
• Small filling
• Complex Bridge Recement
• Chipped Tooth (Please note this may come under £68 if straightforward)

Is the pain keeping you awake at night and is a constant ache?

If this is the case then you will most likely have inflammation within the nerve of the tooth due to an infection.  We can treat the nerve straight away to deal with the pain, the total cost of this appointment is £135.   In some cases an abscess may have formed and we will where possible treat this.

Do you have pain when eating cold food or drinks?

This kind of pain can be a case of sensitivity due to a number of reasons.  We can check this out with our digital x rays and either provide a temporary solution (temporary filling) or fluoride treatment if it is due to worn enamel.  The total cost of this appointment is £68.

Broken tooth is causing pain

If you have a broken tooth that is just sharp we can smooth this down and if needed provide a temporary filling.  The total cost of this appointment is £68.
