AN EMERGENCY DENTIST IN THE CENTRAL LONDON AREA
Whether it's a severe toothache that keeps you awake or dental sports trauma, dental problems rarely pick a convenient moment. As an emergency dentist in London, our team at The Oliver Cosmetic Dental Clinic provide urgent dental care at our clinic in Mayfair.
We'll stabilise the problem, reduce discomfort and clearly explain what needs to happen next. You'll be seen by one of our seasoned dentists, handpicked by our owner and principal cosmetic dentist, Dr Joe Oliver (GDC No. 62456). We deal with many nervous patients who arrive after a bad experience elsewhere, so we talk you through each step before we start to put your mind at ease.
HOW AN EMERGENCY DENTAL APPOINTMENT WORKS
- Call us first - If you think you need emergency dental care, ring our London emergency dentist on 020 7770 6441 and describe your symptoms. You should tell us if there's any severe pain, bleeding or swelling. We'll book you in as soon as possible to see a dentist and advise you on what to do during your dental emergency in the meantime.
- Examination and X-rays - Your emergency dentist will carry out a full dental examination and may take X-rays if necessary for an accurate diagnosis.
- Immediate treatment - Relieving pain and protecting the tooth come first. You may need a filling, re-cementing of a veneer, treatment for an infection or emergency extraction, depending on the severity of your case.
- A clear plan - If you need further dental treatment, we'll explain your options and the costs involved before we book you in.
They're made from porcelain and bonded to the tooth, matching the colour of your surrounding teeth for a seamless look. We use porcelain for its natural look and stain resistance, but other dental materials exist - gold inlays and metal inlays offer good wear resistance but show when you smile, and composite resin inlays cost less but stain faster.
WHAT ARE COMMON DENTAL EMERGENCIES
- Severe toothache or dental pain that painkillers aren't easing
- Swelling in your gums or face (can be a sign of a dental abscess)
- Broken teeth or fractured teeth, or a chipped tooth that may also be sensitive
- A knocked-out tooth or loose tooth after a fall, sports injury or other dental trauma
- A lost filling, crown or veneer
- Pain and swelling around a wisdom tooth
Go to A&E or call 999 if swelling is making it hard to breathe, swallow or see, bleeding from your mouth won't stop after 15-20 minutes, or you have a serious facial injury.
If you have a knocked-out tooth, try to gently push it back into the socket, touching only the crown, or keep it in milk.
HOW MUCH DOES AN EMERGENCY DENTIST COST
The final cost of emergency dental treatment depends on your specific dental issue and the amount of treatment required:
- Emergency appointment: starting from £295
- Recementing a veneer or crown: from £225 per tooth
- Composite filling: £195 to £350 per tooth
- Non-surgical extractions: £195 to £350 per tooth

BOOK AN EMERGENCY DENTAL APPOINTMENT
If you have unbearable tooth pain and think you require urgent dental treatment, call our reception as soon as possible on 020 7770 6441, and we'll get you booked in to see one of our GDC-registered dentists urgently.
We're open weekdays from 8:30 am to 6:30 pm - outside these hours, ring NHS 111, and their operators will tell you where to get emergency dental care in London.
Learn more about treatment costs on our fees page. You can also spread the cost with our flexible finance options.
Can I go to A&E with a tooth problem?
If you have a serious facial injury, bleeding that won't stop or swelling that is impacting your breathing, swallowing or vision, you should go to A&E. For toothache relief and most other dental problems, see a dentist instead.
Do I need to be a registered patient at The Oliver Cosmetic Dental Clinic?
No - we accept patients for emergency appointments and those in need of urgent attention. If you've had crowns or veneers fitted by another dentist, we offer a set fee for re-cementing them. See our fees page for more pricing information.
Are you open out of hours, at weekends or bank holidays?
No - all our emergency dental appointments run on weekdays during our opening hours, from 8:30 am to 6:30 pm. Call NHS 111 if you need emergency treatment outside these hours.
Will emergency dental treatment fix the issue permanently?
Sometimes it can, although it typically just provides a temporary fix and same-day pain relief. For example, lost fillings or debonded veneers can often be fixed in a single visit. However, sometimes more extensive treatment is needed to address the issue after the appointment, such as emergency root canal treatment or restorations.
