If you’ve broken a tooth, an emergency assessment and X-ray will help determine the extent of the damage.
Depending on the fracture, we can repair it with a white composite filling, veneer, or crown. These restorations are colour-matched to your natural teeth, ensuring both aesthetic appearance and full function of the tooth.
Our lower jaw connects to the skull through the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Painful jaw joints, or TMJ disorder, are a common cause of jaw pain and can result from several factors. Causes include:
If you have any issues with an implant placed by us, please contact us immediately for an emergency appointment.
If you’re experiencing problems with an implant placed elsewhere, it’s best to first contact the colleague who performed your treatment, as they will have your implant details, records, and spare components.
If they’re unavailable or unable to assist, our experienced team led by Dr. Amin Amenien (MSc Implant Dentistry, PG Cert. Multisystem Implantology) will be happy to help.
Please bring any available information, such as the implant brand, size, graft, and restorative protocol, to support accurate assessment and safe management.
Severe toothache, swelling, infection, broken or knocked-out teeth, loose implant tooth, and lost restorations are all dental emergencies. If you’re unsure, call us. Our team can advise whether you need urgent care.
We aim to offer same-day emergency appointments, subject to availability. You can book online or call us directly for the next available slot.
Our 30-minute emergency appointments focus on assessing and, where possible, managing the immediate problem — such as pain, swelling, or a broken tooth. We may schedule you for a follow-up visit for treatment.
Regardless, we recommend booking a full check-up afterwards to plan ongoing care and help prevent future issues.
Take suitable over-the-counter pain relief (paracetamol or ibuprofen if safe for you) and rinse gently with warm salt water. Avoid heat or chewing on the affected side until you’re seen.
Facial swelling, fever, or difficulty swallowing can indicate a serious infection. Contact us immediately or, if the swelling is severe or affects breathing, go straight to A&E.
Antibiotics alone rarely fix dental pain — they only help if there’s a spreading infection. The underlying cause (such as decay or an abscess) needs dental treatment to resolve the problem.
If possible, please complete your medical history form online in advance.
Bring any available and relevant items such as your retainer or nightguard, or any recent reports or X-rays.
If you’re not our regular patient and your emergency involves an implant, please bring any available implant information — for example, the brand, size, or surgical report.
