Not sure if it’s an emergency? Give our compassionate team a call. We’ll assess your symptoms, advise whether you need urgent treatment and provide the care you need to get back on track.

Emergency dental care when you need it

Our priority is to relieve pain or discomfort, stop bleeding, prevent infection or save a damaged tooth. We can help with:

Severe Toothache

Persistent or worsening tooth pain may be a sign of infection, decay or nerve damage.

Chipped or Broken Teeth

Prompt treatment can help prevent further damage and restore the appearance and function of your tooth.

Knocked-out teeth

A knocked-out tooth requires urgent attention and may be able to be saved if treated quickly.

Swelling or Infection

Swelling in the gums, face or jaw can indicate an infection that requires immediate assessment.

Lost Fillings, Crowns or Bridges

A damaged restoration can leave your tooth vulnerable and should be assessed as soon as possible.

Broken Dentures

A cracked or broken denture can make it difficult to eat and speak comfortably and may require urgent repair.

No-stress payments

We process all major private health insurance claims on the spot through HICAPS, and we accept eligible Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) benefits. We also offer flexible payment plans to break down the cost of dental treatment into manageable instalments. 

Frequently Asked Questions

If a tooth has been knocked out, try to handle it by the crown (the visible part of the tooth) rather than the root. If possible, gently rinse it with water and place it back into the socket. If that’s not possible, keep the tooth in milk and contact our team immediately. A knocked-out tooth is a dental emergency and prompt treatment may improve the chances of saving it.
Severe or persistent tooth pain can be a sign of infection, decay, an abscess or another underlying dental problem. While over-the-counter pain relief may help temporarily, it’s important to arrange an emergency dental appointment as soon as possible so the cause can be identified and treated.

We understand that dental emergencies are rarely planned for. Before beginning treatment, we’ll explain all available options and provide clear information about costs. We accept eligible private health fund claims through HICAPS and Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) benefits. We also offer flexible treatment plans to help manage the cost of urgent dentist care.
Occasional bleeding when brushing isn’t always an emergency. However, if you’re experiencing significant bleeding, bleeding following an injury, swelling, pain or signs of infection, you should contact our team promptly for advice and assessment.
A dental emergency is any problem involving your teeth, gums or mouth that requires immediate treatment to relieve pain, stop bleeding, prevent infection or save a damaged tooth. Common examples include severe toothache, a broken tooth emergency, facial swelling, a knocked-out tooth, damaged dentures or a lost filling or crown.
