A broken, chipped or fractured tooth should be seen soon. Left alone, it can be damaged further or become infected.
In pain? We see dental emergencies the same day.

What we'll do
02 Emergency treatments
We fix the problem, and protect your smile for later.
Our first goal is always to save your natural tooth. We only remove a tooth when it can't be restored.
Broken & lost crowns
Crowns can come loose from chewing hard food or decay in the tooth underneath. We check the tooth, then repair or replace the crown.
Abscess & infection
A tooth with an abscess at its root is sensitive to touch. We take an X-ray to see whether the infection has spread.
Broken dentures
Proper denture repair needs an experienced dentist and quality materials. Bring all the pieces you have.
Wisdom tooth removal
We remove impacted wisdom teeth, and ones that start causing problems later in life.
Tooth extraction
When a tooth can't be restored, we extract it gently and talk you through what comes next.
