Dental emergencies demand prompt attention to ease pain and prevent complications. At Muirhead & Associates, we keep urgent appointment slots available throughout the week so you're never left waiting in distress.
We welcome both registered patients and new patients who need immediate support. Our experienced team will assess your situation quickly, provide effective pain relief, and carry out any urgent treatment needed to restore your comfort and confidence.
What counts as a dental emergency?
A dental emergency is any situation causing severe pain, bleeding, trauma, or risk of infection that requires urgent care. Common emergencies we treat include:
- Dental abscess or facial swelling
- Knocked-out or dislodged tooth
- Broken, chipped, or fractured tooth
- Lost filling or crown causing pain
- Severe toothache or throbbing pain
- Dental trauma from an accident or injury
If you're unsure whether your situation is urgent, contact us. We'll talk you through your symptoms and arrange same-day care if needed.
How much does emergency dental treatment cost?
The cost of emergency dental care depends on what your emergency is and how complex your treatment will be. For example, a simple assessment and temporary filling will cost less than a complex extraction or root canal.
We'll always provide a clear, honest quote before we begin any treatment, with no obligation to proceed if you're not happy with the price. Our membership plans also include dedicated benefits for emergency care.

When should you seek emergency dental care?
If you're experiencing severe toothache, uncontrolled bleeding, facial swelling, or have suffered dental trauma, you should seek emergency care immediately. Don't wait for symptoms to get worse. Early intervention prevents complications, saves damaged teeth, and relieves pain far more effectively.
Even if you're unsure whether your situation qualifies as urgent, it's always better to call and speak to our team. We'll assess your symptoms over the phone and advise whether you need to be seen the same day or can wait for a routine appointment.
