An out-of-hours dentist provides urgent care when standard clinics are closed. We assess your symptoms and decide the fastest route to relief.

Severe toothache, a knocked-out tooth, or a dental abscess with facial swelling cannot wait for a standard appointment. These symptoms usually mean an oral infection or a cracked tooth, and an untreated dental infection can spread to the adjacent teeth and, in severe cases, may need hospital treatment. Our emergency dentists in London find the cause at the first visit and stop the infection reaching the nerve inside the tooth.
We diagnose before we treat, so you get the correct treatment rather than an unnecessary procedure, whether that is immediate relief or a referral for complex work. If you have a knocked-out tooth, time is critical to the outcome.
Every treatment is itemised, so you know the cost before we begin. If you are managing a crisis at home, our dental emergency aftercare guide gives immediate steps to take before you reach the practice.
Leave your number and we will call you back. Nothing is booked until you say so.
We see patients in acute dental distress when standard clinics are closed, including those with a broken or chipped tooth, toothache and severe tooth pain, or a serious infection. If you feel anxious about visiting a dentist, sedation options are available.
We assess each case to decide the fastest way to resolve it, stabilise your condition, and manage the pain.
We begin by assessing your symptoms to decide how urgent your care is, so patients in acute pain or with a dental abscess and facial swelling are seen first.
The clinician examines the affected area to diagnose the problem, looking for infection, fractures, or a lost filling or crown. This defines the immediate steps needed to stop pain or prevent further damage.
We provide the treatment needed to stabilise the tooth and manage the pain. We are honest about the timeline: some out-of-hours visits provide a temporary fix to get you through the weekend.
We protect the tooth and the surrounding gum, which may mean a dressing or a temporary restoration, and we explain any possible complications so you know what to expect during recovery.
Once the emergency is managed, we plan the permanent solution and the final restoration. You leave with a date for the follow-up appointment to complete the work.
We prioritise pain relief and resolving the underlying problem, whether that is an abscess, facial swelling, severe toothache, or trauma such as a knocked-out tooth, and we carry out the restorative treatment that follows.
The clinical team is led by Dr Ope Sodeinde, GDC-registered specialist periodontist (GDC No. 104071).
