Emergency Dentists in London

Emergency dentists provide the immediate clinical assessment and treatment needed to resolve acute dental pain or injury. We diagnose the cause first, relieve the pain, and then plan the permanent repair. The practice is led by Dr Ope Sodeinde, GDC-registered specialist periodontist, with a full specialist team covering every area of urgent dental care.

Why choose our emergency care

We are a CQC-registered dental practice and our emergency care is specialist-led, so the diagnosis and the plan are made by the same team that carries out the treatment. You can see what happens at your same-day emergency appointment and how to book.

Fear often stops people from seeking help. We provide sedation options for patients who feel anxious, so treatment can go ahead calmly.

We show our fees on the page because patients dislike fee surprises. Every fee is itemised before you commit to anything.

Emergency Treatment Costs

A dental consultation is £245, and the fee goes towards your treatment. It includes a clinical examination and the in-mouth x-rays needed for a first diagnosis, so the imaging is part of the appointment rather than an extra cost. Treatment costs are then quoted after the diagnosis, because they depend on what the examination finds. Root canal treatment or an extraction is quoted after the examination, before any treatment starts. We also offer payment options, and the particulars can be discussed with staff.

Specialist care for urgent dental issues

We prioritise pain relief and resolving the underlying problem. Whether you have toothache, a dental abscess, or a knocked-out tooth, the first visit deals with the immediate crisis and the follow-up restores the tooth.

You can view the profile of Dr Ope Sodeinde, our specialist periodontist, who leads the clinical team. He is joined by Dr Neha Patel, specialist in endodontics (GDC No. 150517), Dr Kia Papagalani, specialist orthodontist (GDC No. 228487), and Dr Nicky Dehbonei and Dr Lydia Dzhukha, dentists with special interests.

Urgent Dental Care Questions

What does dental emergency treatment involve?

We start with a dental examination to identify the cause of the pain. Depending on the diagnosis, we may place a tooth filling to remove decay, carry out root canal treatment, or perform a tooth extraction. Fractures may be repaired with composite bonding or a crown.

How much does dental emergency treatment cost in London?

The consultation is £245 and treatment costs depend on the procedure the examination shows you need. We can also explain the options if you currently use the NHS.

Am I suitable for dental emergency treatment?

Yes. We see patients with acute dental injury, trauma, or uncontrolled pain, including those with a serious infection or significant facial swelling. It does not matter how long it has been since your last dental visit.

How long does dental emergency treatment take?

Some repairs, such as certain crowns, can be completed in a single appointment. Other problems need a second visit to complete the treatment. The timeframe depends on the severity of the injury or decay.

Urgent Dental Care Process

Emergency Clinical Assessment

We examine the source of your toothache or injury. This visit identifies the cause and the fastest route to relief.

Immediate Pain Relief

We provide urgent treatment to stop the pain or stabilise the tooth. For patients with high anxiety, we offer sedation dentistry.

Stabilising the Damage

We address the immediate cause of the crisis. This includes managing dental injuries in children and treating acute infections before they spread.

Long-term Recovery Plan

Dr Sodeinde helps you plan the permanent fix, and we agree the timeline for any follow-up visits needed to restore the tooth fully.

Urgent Care Options and Costs

Because every emergency differs, dental emergency costs depend on the problem and the treatment it needs, and we confirm them before we begin. The treatment for toothache and severe tooth pain ranges from a filling to a root canal or extraction, an abscess with facial swelling needs the infection controlled first, and a knocked-out tooth needs replanting as quickly as possible.

How we manage your urgent dental care

Once the emergency is treated, recovery depends on you protecting the area at home. For detailed recovery steps after an extraction, infection, or dental injury, read our dental emergency aftercare guide.

Urgent Dental Support

We assess your symptoms, identify the cause of the pain or injury, provide immediate treatment to stabilise the tooth, and then agree a long-term restoration plan.

Urgent Care Resources

We provide specific guidance for a lost filling or crown and for managing bleeding after extraction.

If you need an out-of-hours and weekend emergency dentist, we can help. We also provide a breakdown of emergency dentist costs in London.

Dr Sodeinde and our team see urgent cases first, so you are out of pain as quickly as possible.
