What to Expect During Your Visit
Our goal is to get you out of pain as quickly as possible. When you arrive, we’ll carry out an urgent assessment to identify the cause of your discomfort.
We’ll then provide immediate pain relief and discuss the best treatment options to stabilise the problem. If further treatment is needed, we’ll arrange a follow-up appointment to restore your smile fully. If your emergency involves a badly infected tooth, root canal treatment may be able to save it instead of extraction.
