Medically reviewed by Dr. Alex Poli, Principal Dentist ·
Working in the city has plenty going for it. However, cheap parking and an easy dentist visit usually aren’t on the list. We understand. That’s why so many city workers hop on the train instead.
Here at 123 Dental, we’re just outside the city in West Leederville. From Perth Station it’s two stops on the Fremantle line, then about a 6-minute walk. So whether you work on St Georges Tce, near the Hay Street Mall or around Kings Square, getting here is simple.
We’ve been caring for West Leederville for more than 30 years (formerly West Leederville Family Dental). Today the practice is led by our principal dentist, Dr Alex Poli, and we’re rated 4.9★ from 250+ Google reviews.
Broken a tooth at work? Here's what happens next
A tooth that cracks on a muesli bar at your desk. A crown that comes loose the morning of a big meeting. It always seems to happen at the worst time. It’s ok. We are here for you. Here’s what to do.
1. Call us early
Call (08) 5122 4475 as early in the day as you can. Same-day emergency time is kept, so tell us what’s happened and we’ll find you the earliest slot we can. More on our emergency dental care page.
2. Relief first, then a plan
Most emergency visits start with pain relief, then a plan for treatment. If you’ve saved the broken piece of tooth, just bring it along.
3. Fixing it properly
If the tooth needs a crown, it can often be done in one visit (more on that below). If it needs root canal treatment, that’s usually 2 to 3 visits under local anaesthetic. We’ll explain your options before anything starts, but most importantly, we will help get you out of pain.
Crowns in one visit
Since time away from work is precious, a crown that takes one visit instead of two really helps. Our CEREC system designs and mills a ceramic crown right here in the practice. It’s usually fitted in one visit of about 2 hours, with no temporary crown and no second trip.
A same-day crown takes longer than a lunch break, so book a morning or an afternoon off for it. A conventional dental crown takes two visits. Learn more about same-day crowns.
Appointments around the working day
City days are full. We are open from 8am on weekdays, until 7pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and on Saturday mornings (fortnightly), 8am to 1pm. An evening or Saturday appointment means you do not need to take time off.
Check-ups and cleans after work
Your regular check-up and a clean with one of our three hygienists can be booked on a Tuesday or Thursday evening, on your way home.
Health funds and payment plans
We are a preferred provider for BUPA, HBF, Medibank, HCF and NIB. Bring your health fund card and we will help you claim on the spot with HICAPS. Zip Money plans can spread the cost of larger treatment over up to 12 months, interest-free.
