Emergency Dental Care When You Need It Most

At Dental on Nexus, we provide emergency dental care for patients experiencing urgent dental problems. Whether you've chipped a tooth, lost a filling or are suffering from severe tooth pain, our team will assess your condition and recommend the most appropriate treatment as quickly as possible.

Our priority is to relieve discomfort, identify the cause of the problem and restore your smile with personalised care.

Recognising an Emergency

What Is Considered a Dental Emergency?

Some dental problems require urgent attention, while others can safely wait for a scheduled appointment.

You should contact our team as soon as possible if you experience:

Severe or persistent toothache
Broken, chipped or cracked teeth
Knocked-out teeth
Lost fillings or crowns
Swelling around the gums or jaw
Dental abscess or infection
Bleeding that won't stop
Broken dentures affecting function
Trauma following an accident or sporting injury

If you are unsure whether your situation is an emergency, contact our team and we will help determine the most appropriate next step.

Our Treatments

Common Emergency Dental Treatments

Emergency Toothache Relief

Persistent tooth pain can indicate decay, infection or damage to the tooth. Early treatment helps prevent complications.

Broken or Chipped Teeth

We assess the damage and recommend treatment such as bonding, fillings, crowns or other restorative solutions where appropriate.

Knocked-Out Tooth

Acting quickly gives the best chance of saving a knocked-out tooth. Contact us immediately for advice and urgent care.

Emergency Tooth Extractions

When a tooth cannot be repaired or infection is severe, an emergency extraction may be recommended to relieve pain and protect surrounding teeth.

Dental Abscess Treatment

Dental infections require prompt assessment to relieve discomfort and prevent the infection from spreading.

Lost Fillings or Crowns

We can repair or replace damaged restorations to restore function and protect the affected tooth.

Difficulty chewing because of a damaged tooth
