How do I book an emergency dental treatment with you?
You have two ways to reach us. Book online at any time of day or night through our booking system, or call the practice on 0208 846 8534 during opening hours. We’re open six days a week, so you rarely have to wait long to be seen.
When you call, it helps to have a quick description of the problem ready: when the pain or issue started, and whether there’s any swelling or bleeding. That lets us judge how urgently you need to be seen and book you into the right slot. If you’re in a lot of pain, say so. We’ll always try to fit urgent cases in as soon as we can.

Can I get an emergency appointment at the weekend?
We run a limited out-of-hours service on Saturdays for urgent problems that can’t wait until Monday. Saturday slots fill quickly, so it’s worth calling first thing on 0208 846 8534, or booking online as early as you can.
If a dental emergency happens on a Sunday or outside our opening hours, don’t sit it out in pain. Call us and follow the instructions, or phone NHS 111, which can point you to urgent dental care in the area. For anything involving heavy bleeding that won’t stop, facial swelling spreading towards your eye or throat, or difficulty breathing or swallowing, treat it as a medical emergency and go to A&E.

Can I get a same-day emergency appointment?
Yes. We keep time set aside each day for emergencies, so we can see most urgent problems the same day you call. Ring early if you can, as morning calls give us the best chance of finding you a slot that suits you.
Some problems are genuinely time-sensitive. A knocked-out adult tooth, for example, has the best chance of being saved when it’s treated within the hour, so call straight away rather than waiting to see if it settles. Even when something isn’t an emergency in the strict sense, we’d far rather you rang and let us reassure you than sat at home worrying.
-
Do you offer evening emergency appointments?
We can. On weekdays, we’re able to stay open until 8pm when an emergency needs it, which helps if you can’t get away from work or childcare during the day. Evening slots are limited and offered as needed, so please call ahead rather than turning up, and we’ll tell you the earliest time we can see you.

What dental issues constitute an emergency?
We’ll be able to make an assessment over the phone of whether or not you require an emergency appointment but here are a few issues that cause emergency dental problems:
– Toothaches
– Dental injury that requires immediate extraction
– Swelling and discomfort caused by wisdom teeth
– Dental infections
– Tooth chips and cracks
– Broken fillings
– Lost or missing crowns
– Injury caused by orthodontic devices
– Dislodged or loosened teeth after facial trauma

“Dr Rubina is just amazing!! The advice given and the care she took while performing were great! I felt safe and confident from the get go! And results are speaking for themselves. Top notch!!”

“I am an anxious patient and had a filling today with Dr Rubina and cannot believe my experience. I have never felt as relaxed as I did today, Dr Rubina is lovely, she is very reassuring and I did not feel a thing. I felt like I had only been in there 5 mins not 45 mins. I have been to care dental a few times and will never go anywhere else now. The reception staff are also great, I always get called the day before my appointment and they put me at ease whilst in the waiting room. It’s a truly 5 star experience. Thank you.”
