Family Friendly & Specialty Dentists in London, UK
A knocked-out tooth needs immediate action if the natural tooth is to be saved. We assess the tooth and the socket and decide whether the tooth can be replanted or whether a permanent replacement will be needed.
Time is the most critical factor. A tooth has the best chance of survival if it is replanted within 30 to 60 minutes of the injury.
Led by Dr Ope Sodeinde, GDC-registered specialist periodontist (GDC No. 104071).
A knocked-out tooth is a critical emergency. You may feel panicked, but acting quickly is the only way to save the tooth. Call us, keep the tooth moist, and come straight to our emergency dentists in London, where we assess the damage to the tooth, the socket, and the surrounding teeth. The sooner the tooth is back in the socket, the better its chance of surviving, and prompt treatment also reduces the risk of a dental infection in the socket.
Choosing the wrong treatment after dental trauma can mean losing a tooth that could have been saved. We plan the treatment from an accurate diagnosis, with x-rays of the socket and neighbouring teeth, before any work begins. Our team includes Dr Kia Papagalani, specialist orthodontist (GDC No. 228487), Dr Neha Patel, specialist in endodontics (GDC No. 150517), and Dr Lydia Dzhukha and Dr Nicky Dehbonei, dentists with special interests. You can find details of emergency dentist costs in London to help you plan. If the accident has also dislodged a lost filling or crown, we assess that at the same visit.
Leave your number and we will call you back. Nothing is booked until you say so.
Arriving at a clinic with a tooth in your hand is overwhelming, so we deal only with the clinical priority. We stabilise the injury, control any bleeding from the socket, and assess the risk of a serious infection. For guidance on what to do before you reach us, see our dental emergency aftercare guide. A consultation with the clinician determines the best way to restore your tooth based on your specific injury.

We begin with a clinical assessment of the tooth, the socket, and the neighbouring teeth. If you also have toothache and severe tooth pain, we treat that at the same visit.
Time is critical. We provide specialist replantation of a knocked-out tooth to give the natural root the best chance of surviving. Our team works quickly to reposition the tooth in its socket.
We may use a splint to hold the tooth in place while it heals. This prevents further displacement. You may need to return to complete the treatment once the initial stability is confirmed.
We use local anaesthetic for the procedure, and sedation is available for patients who feel anxious. We are honest about the possible complications, and we monitor the tooth closely during your recovery.
Depending on the damage, we may fit a natural-looking crown, in some cases in a single appointment. If the tooth cannot be saved, we remove it and plan a replacement. If the accident happens outside normal hours, our out-of-hours and weekend emergency dentist page explains how to reach us.
We prioritise pain relief and resolving the underlying problem, and we carry out the restorative treatment that follows. The clinical team is led by Dr Ope Sodeinde, our specialist periodontist.
We also treat other urgent problems, including dental abscesses, facial swelling, and severe tooth pain.
Find the tooth and handle it only by the crown, never the root. Place it in a small container of milk or saliva to keep the root cells alive, and come to us straight away. We assess whether the tooth can be replanted at your emergency appointment.
We assess the dental trauma quickly to decide whether the tooth can be saved or needs replacing. For dental injuries in children, we follow paediatric protocols to protect the developing adult teeth.
Fees depend on the clinical requirement, such as splinting or replacement. You get a clear breakdown of costs at your initial assessment. If the trauma has led to a dental abscess and facial swelling, we treat the infection before any restorative work.
The first visit is for stabilisation and pain relief. Long-term recovery depends on the severity of the injury. Dr Sodeinde and the team set the timeline for permanent restoration based on how the socket and surrounding bone heal.
Speed decides the outcome. You can see what happens at your same-day emergency appointment and how to book, or call us and come straight in.
