Dental emergencies always come around when you least expect them to, interrupting your daily routine and inducing stress that you shouldn’t have to put up with.
Our ultra-responsive emergency dental care service is the safety net you need to become pain-free and healthy again as soon as possible. Our dentists will work quickly and thoroughly to resolve whatever is wrong, whether it’s a dental, oral, tissue, or jaw-related issue.
Responsive, caring and efficient
We accept and see all emergencies and invite both members and non-members of the practice to contact us for emergency dental care.
AT KT Dental, we recognise that speed is of the utmost importance when an emergency strikes. Often, the sooner we see you, the easier it is to resolve the problem with your oral health (so please don’t hesitate to call if you’re in doubt – it’s better to have peace of mind than unnecessary pain).
We aim to see all patients within 24 hours (though in the vast majority of cases, you will be seen before this).
A solution for your pain in 3 steps
- Contact us: Describe your symptoms. Your appointment is booked and you will be seen within 24 hours.
- Diagnosis: Our dentists will examine you and perform any necessary tests, such as X-rays.
- Treatment: If possible, your dentist will treat you on the same day to get you out of pain. However, in some cases, we may need to book you in for a follow-up appointment for restorative treatment (a crown, for example).
- Outcome: Our main aim is to send you home in less pain than when you arrived.
Private patients
We hold private emergency slots throughout the day. Please call 111 to access out-of-hours emergency dental care when the practice is not open.
NHS patients
Please contact us before 12 pm to ensure you do not miss out on an NHS emergency slot.
Opening hours
Monday – Friday: 9 am to 6 pm
