The appointments will need to be paid for at the time of booking over the phone by credit card. A receipt can be provided at the time of the appointment.

The purpose of the appointment will be to address and stabilize the complaint and most importantly control any pain. We will endeavor to provide a permanent solution however you will be informed of any further work required to address the problem and any further charges that may apply.

An emergency dental appointment is not a substitute for a complete Oral Health Assessment and only the complaint will be dealt with. Further emergency dentist Cardiff appointments can be arranged if a complete assessment is wanted or required.

Examples of an emergency appointment include:

1. A simple filling has been lost – this usually can be replaced with a permanent filling.
2. An abcess has developed and root canal therapy is needed – the affected tooth will be dressed, stabilized and made pain free – further work will be quoted for or your own dentist can continue with treatment.
3. A crown has come off – it will be recemented if possible – otherwise a temporary crown will be constructed.
4. A wisdom tooth has become infected – it will be assessed and treated with antibiotics. Extraction if needed may require a full assessment and xrays.
5. If a routine extraction is required this may be completed during the emergency appointment.

If a denture has broken this will not be able to be repaired on that day and may require the denture to be sent to a laboratory for repair. This could take 1-3 days.
