Industry-Leading Emergency Experience
Working in a major central London emergency dental department exposes clinicians to the most challenging cases in dentistry.
Our dentists have treated:
- Severe dental pain and acute infections
- Facial swellings and dental abscesses
- Dental trauma including fractured and avulsed teeth
- Uncontrolled bleeding and post-operative complications
- Failed restorations causing urgent pain or dysfunction
This environment demands rapid clinical decision-making, excellent diagnostic skills, and calm communication with patients in distress.
It is this level of experience that sets our emergency service apart.
What We Treat
We provide urgent assessment and treatment for:
- Severe or persistent toothache
- Swelling of the face or jaw
- Dental abscesses and infections
- Broken, cracked, or chipped teeth
- Knocked-out or loosened teeth
- Lost fillings, crowns, or bridges causing pain
- Dental trauma following accidents or sports injuries
If you are unsure whether your problem requires emergency care, our team can advise and arrange an urgent appointment if appropriate.
Our Emergency Appointment Process
At your emergency visit, we focus first on relieving pain and stabilising the problem.
We will:
- Carry out a thorough clinical examination
- Take X-rays where required to confirm diagnosis
- Provide immediate pain relief and urgent treatment
- Explain findings and next steps clearly
- Arrange follow-up care if further treatment is needed
Our aim is to ensure you leave your appointment comfortable, informed, and with a clear plan in place.

Same-Day Urgent Appointments
We reserve appointments specifically for emergency cases. Wherever possible, we aim to offer same-day or next-day emergency appointments, particularly for patients in significant pain or with swelling.
Early contact improves outcomes, so we encourage patients to get in touch as soon as symptoms develop.
Calm, Reassuring Care when it Matters Most
Dental emergencies can be stressful and frightening.
Our dentists are used to treating patients at their most uncomfortable and take a calm, reassuring, and patient-focused approach at all times.
Our background in a world-leading emergency department means you can be confident you are receiving care informed by some of the highest clinical standards in dentistry.
