Family Friendly & Specialty Dentists in London, UK
A lost filling or crown needs a prompt clinical assessment to protect the exposed tooth and prevent further decay. We assess the tooth and either re-cement the existing restoration or make a new one.
Led by Dr Ope Sodeinde, GDC-registered specialist periodontist (GDC No. 104071).
Losing a filling or crown leaves the inner layers of the tooth exposed. Bacteria can reach the nerve inside the tooth, which often leads to toothache and severe tooth pain, and an untreated dental infection can spread to the adjacent teeth and, in severe cases, may need hospital treatment. If you need emergency dentists in London, we examine the tooth to check whether it is cracked or infected before we restore it.
Replacing a lost filling or crown takes more than a quick fix. We plan the new restoration so it fits precisely and lasts, because the wrong material or fit fails early. If you have toothache and severe tooth pain, we identify the cause before we treat the tooth.
Fees are itemised before we start. Whether you need a new dental crown, a dental bridge, or a simple filling, the consultation determines the requirements and the cost. If you need urgent care outside normal hours, see our out-of-hours and weekend emergency dentist page.
Leave your number and we will call you back. Nothing is booked until you say so.
Losing a restoration is stressful, but we see it every day. Whether you have toothache or simply feel a gap where the filling used to be, we can restore the tooth. Some patients feel anxious about returning to the chair; we focus on the tooth, not on how long it has been. If you notice facial swelling or suspect a dental abscess and facial swelling, tell us when you call.
We explain emergency dentist costs in London at your visit. An examination determines the best way to protect the tooth and prevent a serious infection.
We begin with an assessment to determine the most appropriate treatment. This identifies whether the tooth underneath is sound or whether decay or a crack has developed. If you have a knocked-out tooth, the approach is different from a lost filling.
We can fit a natural-looking crown in a single appointment in some cases, which shortens the time the tooth spends without protection. For smaller repairs, we use composite bonding.
Sensitivity is common when a filling or crown is missing. We use local anaesthetic for the repair, and sedation options are available for patients who feel anxious.
Some cases are resolved in one visit. Depending on the material used, you may need to return to complete the treatment and confirm the final fit is secure.
Prompt repair helps you avoid further complications. Our dental emergency aftercare guide explains how to look after the restoration.
We prioritise pain relief and resolving the underlying problem, and we carry out the restorative treatment that follows.
The standard of care at the practice is overseen by Dr Ope Sodeinde, our specialist periodontist.
Beyond replacing lost crowns and fillings, we treat other urgent problems, including toothache and severe tooth pain, dental abscesses with facial swelling, and knocked-out teeth.
We focus on the outcome of every emergency visit, and we discuss honest options without pressure in a calm, unhurried environment. If you have had other emergencies, such as bleeding after extraction, we can address those at the same visit.
This required root canal treatment (completed by Dr Neha Patel) and then the fitting of a crown, after complex work to reshape the tooth (completed by Dr Ope Sodeinde).
Fees depend on the type of restoration required. We confirm the cost at your consultation after assessing the tooth and the surrounding gum.
The timeframe depends on whether a filling can be replaced directly or a new crown is needed. We give you a specific timeline at your assessment.
We use local anaesthetic for the repair. If you have a broken or chipped tooth or a serious infection, we address the pain first.
The longevity of a restoration depends on the underlying health of the tooth. We assess the tooth to choose the most durable option.
A lost filling or crown leaves the tooth open to sensitivity and decay. At the consultation we decide whether the existing restoration can be re-cemented or a new one is needed. Learn what happens at your same-day emergency appointment and how to book.
