Many things constitute a dental emergency. From lost or broken teeth to a painful abscess, unbearable tooth-ache to damages to restorations such as crowns or dentures, it is always prudent to act quickly.

We always try to book patients in with an emergency dentist on the same day whenever possible. For that reason, the earlier you contact the practice the better. Please call us on 01202 303322 for out of hours advice as soon as your emergency occurs.

The first concern of your emergency dentist will be to get you out of pain. Dental pain can be unbearable, and we will never leave a patient in pain. It is not always possible to fully treat a condition in one appointment, so you may need to come back to our Bournemouth clinic for follow-up appointments to fully cure your ailment.

If fear of the dentist has caused you to put off seeking treatment until an emergency arises, your emergency dentist will take the time to talk you through any procedures necessary, and will treat you with the utmost care and respect at all times. Modern dentistry is practically pain free, and we use the Vibrainject injection system at our Bournemouth practice to deliver local anaesthetic, meaning many patients don’t even realise the injection has taken place.

Common reasons for needing an emergency dentist include:

Broken teeth

We can use a range of techniques, including composite bonding or fillings, to repair your teeth.

Lost teeth

We may be able to reimplant your tooth, or can offer tooth replacement options.

Toothache

We will get you out of pain, then treat the underlying cause.
