What to expect
A clear, step-by-step overview of your emergency dentistry appointment.
Call us first
Contact the clinic as early as possible. We'll triage your situation over the phone and give immediate guidance on what to do before your appointment.
Same-day assessment
We prioritise emergency patients. Once you arrive, we assess the situation promptly to understand the cause and extent of the problem.
Immediate pain relief
Our first priority is to relieve your pain — whether through anaesthesia, drainage, medication, or stabilising the affected tooth.
Treatment & follow-up plan
We address the acute issue and explain the next steps — whether that's a follow-up restoration, further treatment, or monitoring.
