Emergency dentistry
An emergency appointment is intended to identify the problem, relieve immediate symptoms where possible and explain the next step. Definitive treatment may require a further visit.
Consultation and suitability
A plan begins with the right questions.
We ask about symptoms and medical history before examining the area and taking diagnostic imaging where indicated. Severe swelling affecting breathing or swallowing requires emergency medical care.
No treatment is recommended until benefits, limitations, alternatives and likely maintenance have been discussed in relation to your own oral health.

Questions patients often ask
How will I know whether this is suitable?
Your dentist will explain findings after examination and any appropriate records. If another option better protects your health, it will be discussed.
Will I receive a written cost?
Yes. You receive an itemised estimate after assessment. It may change only if clinical findings or your chosen plan change, which we discuss first.
Can I take time to decide?
Of course. Elective treatment is never rushed; you can review the information and return with questions.
