Emergency dentist costs in London

The risk of delaying urgent dental care

Severe toothache or a dental abscess often feels like a problem that might resolve itself. It does not. A dental infection can spread to the adjacent teeth and, in severe cases, may need hospital treatment, and the longer a problem is left the more treatment it usually needs. Our emergency dentists in London assess whether you are dealing with a knocked-out tooth, facial swelling, or an infection that has reached the nerve.

Transparent pricing for emergency dental care

Pricing for an emergency visit depends on the diagnosis. We identify the cause of the pain before proposing a treatment plan, which prevents unnecessary procedures and means you only pay for the care you need. Whether you have a broken or chipped tooth or toothache and severe tooth pain, you get an itemised breakdown of costs before any work begins.

There are no hidden fees. Our team, led by Dr Sodeinde, works from the diagnosis so the treatment is right the first time.

Who we can help today

We see patients with a range of urgent problems, from sudden toothache to a lost filling or crown and a serious infection such as a dental abscess and facial swelling. Dental emergencies often bring anxiety or a fear of being judged; we focus on the problem, not on how it arose. A consultation with the clinician identifies what is causing the pain and the cost of the treatment it needs.

How your emergency visit and costs work

Urgent clinical assessment

We begin by examining the source of your pain to find the cause of the emergency. We explain the options and give you a clear breakdown of the costs before any work begins.

Immediate pain relief

Depending on the diagnosis, we provide immediate treatment to stabilise the tooth or manage the infection. If you have a knocked-out tooth, we act quickly to try to save it.

Emergency clinical treatment

We carry out the procedure needed to resolve the crisis: a filling, root canal treatment, or an extraction. We are honest about the timeline: some emergencies are resolved in one visit, while others need follow-up appointments.

Managing post-treatment recovery

We give clear instructions to prevent complications, including guidance on managing bleeding after extraction and on pain relief, so you know what to expect during healing.

Long-term restoration planning

Once the emergency is resolved, we plan the permanent restoration of any lost or damaged teeth, so the immediate fix leads to a lasting result.

Specialist-led emergency care

We prioritise pain relief and resolving the underlying problem, whether that is toothache, an abscess with facial swelling, or a knocked-out tooth, and we carry out the restorative treatment that follows.

The clinical team is led by Dr Ope Sodeinde, our specialist periodontist. We treat the root of the emergency to prevent recurrence.

Emergency dental cost queries

How much do emergency visits cost?

Fees depend on the clinical need. The consultation lets us assess the damage and give you a precise cost for the treatment required. If you need care outside normal hours, see our out-of-hours and weekend emergency dentist page.

How long does treatment last?

The duration depends on the severity of the problem. Some are resolved in a single visit; others need a sequence of appointments to manage serious infections or complications.

Which materials do you use?

The material depends on whether we are treating a fracture, a lost filling, or a crown. Our clinicians select the most durable option for your case and explain it before you agree to treatment.

Why do costs differ between treatments?

The difference usually relates to the complexity of the procedure. A simple extraction costs less than root canal treatment or a crown replacement. We explain the options and the associated fees at your initial assessment.

A consultation with Dr Sodeinde lets us assess your injury or pain and confirm the treatment and its cost. You can see what happens at your same-day emergency appointment and how to book.
