Dental pain, swelling, a broken tooth or an unexpected dental problem can happen suddenly.
At Pristine Dental Group, we provide emergency dental care in London 7 days a week, with same-day emergency appointments available where possible.
Whether you have a severe toothache, a dental abscess, a broken tooth, dental trauma, a lost crown or need an urgent extraction, our team can assess the problem, relieve the immediate issue and explain the most appropriate treatment.
We welcome new and existing patients.
Open 9:00 am – 5:30 pm, 7 days a week
Same-day appointments subject to availability
One of the key differences in our emergency service is that our care does not necessarily end with an extraction.
If a tooth cannot be saved, suitable patients can be assessed for immediate dental implant placement at the same appointment as the extraction.
Where the clinical conditions allow, a temporary tooth may also be possible on the same day.
This can be particularly valuable when a front tooth is involved and you want to avoid a prolonged visible gap. Immediate implant placement is not suitable for every patient or extraction site and requires appropriate assessment.
You do not need to know exactly what is wrong before contacting us.
Persistent or throbbing tooth pain can be caused by decay, infection, a cracked tooth or inflammation of the dental nerve.
EMERGENCY TOOTHACHE
Dental infections can cause severe pain, swelling, tenderness, a bad taste in the mouth and sometimes fever or difficulty opening the mouth. A dental abscess requires dental assessment and should not simply be left to resolve by itself. Depending on the cause, treatment may involve drainage, root canal treatment, extraction or other appropriate care.
DENTAL ABSCESS & SWELLING
Whether your tooth has fractured while eating, broken unexpectedly or been damaged in an accident, we can assess how much of the tooth can be preserved. Depending on the damage, treatment may include composite restoration, a filling, veneer, crown, root canal treatment or extraction. Where a badly damaged tooth cannot be saved, immediate implant replacement may be possible in suitable cases.
BROKEN OR CRACKED TOOTH
A knocked-out adult tooth is particularly time-sensitive. If you have knocked out, displaced or severely damaged a tooth, contact us as quickly as possible so that we can advise you and arrange urgent assessment where available. Where a traumatised tooth cannot ultimately be saved, we can also discuss appropriate tooth-replacement options.
DENTAL TRAUMA & KNOCKED-OUT TEETH
Our first aim is to determine whether a painful or damaged tooth can reasonably be saved. However, severe decay, fracture, infection, failed previous treatment or other problems can sometimes mean that extraction is the most appropriate option. If extraction is required, we can also assess whether an immediate dental implant could be placed at the same appointment.
EMERGENCY TOOTH EXTRACTION
Severe dental nerve pain or infection does not always mean the tooth has to be removed. Where appropriate, root canal treatment can help remove infection from inside the tooth and allow the natural tooth to be retained. Our emergency assessment will determine whether the tooth is suitable for root canal treatment or whether an alternative approach is required.
EMERGENCY ROOT CANAL
Wisdom teeth can cause significant pain when they become inflamed, infected, impacted or difficult to clean. We can assess the cause, manage the immediate problem and advise whether wisdom tooth extraction or another treatment is appropriate.
WISDOM TOOTH EMERGENCY
A lost or broken dental restoration can leave your tooth exposed, sensitive or vulnerable to further damage. We can assess the tooth and discuss repair, replacement or temporary treatment where appropriate.
LOST OR BROKEN DENTAL RESTORATION
A fractured, damaged or poorly fitting denture can significantly affect eating, speaking and confidence. Contact our team and we can assess the problem and discuss emergency and longer-term replacement options. For patients interested in moving away from removable dentures, we can also discuss implant-retained or fixed implant tooth-replacement options.
BROKEN DENTURES
If you are experiencing severe or worsening pain, swelling, persistent bleeding or another problem following dental treatment, contact us for advice and assessment. You do not need to have received the original treatment at Pristine for us to assess an emergency problem.

PROBLEMS AFTER DENTAL TREATMENTCall, WhatsApp or book online and briefly explain the problem you are experiencing.
Your dentist will examine the area, discuss your symptoms and establish what is causing the problem.
Depending on the problem, dental X-rays or 3D CBCT imaging may be used where clinically appropriate to help with diagnosis and treatment planning.
Your dentist will explain:
Where clinically appropriate and time permits, treatment may be carried out during the same visit.
This could include pain-relieving treatment, restoration, drainage, root canal treatment, extraction or other emergency dental care.
If further treatment is required, we can arrange the next stage of your care.
And where a tooth unfortunately requires extraction, we can also assess your options for immediate or longer-term tooth replacement.
When you are in pain, waiting several days for an appointment can be difficult.
