When something hurts: relief first, then a plan
When you’re in pain, you just want it sorted. We understand. Here’s what happens.
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 going on and we’ll find you the soonest slot we can. See emergency dental care near Shenton Park.
Relief, then the reason
Most emergency visits start with pain relief, then a plan for treatment. We’ll explain what’s causing the trouble in plain, simple words, and what your options are, so you can decide what to do next.
Knocked or chipped a tooth?
If a tooth is knocked out, hold it by the top, not the root. Pop it in a clean container of milk and call us straight away. Chipped a tooth? If you’ve saved the broken piece, just bring it with you.
Wisdom teeth and root canal, without the dread
These two have a reputation. It’s ok to feel nervous about them. Here’s what to actually expect.
Wisdom teeth
Wisdom teeth are usually removed when they become impacted, painful or infected. Our dentists will assess yours first and talk you through it. Wisdom tooth removal is usually one appointment, with about a week to heal.
Root canal treatment
Root canal treatment removes infected or dying pulp from inside a tooth, then cleans and seals it, with the aim of saving the tooth. It’s done under local anaesthetic and usually takes 2 to 3 visits.
Sedation if you're nervous
If the thought of either one makes you tense, that’s ok. Sedation options, from happy gas to IV sedation with a qualified anaesthetist, are discussed at a consultation first. This way, you know what to expect before the day. See sedation dentistry.
Staying ahead of the next one
Once the pain is dealt with, a regular check-up and clean helps us spot problems early, before they start to hurt.
Getting seen when it hurts
Toothache rarely comes at a convenient time. Call (08) 5122 4475 as early in the day as you can and we will find you a time. We are open from 8am on weekdays, until 7pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and on Saturday mornings (fortnightly), 8am to 1pm.
Follow-up visits after work
If your treatment needs more than one visit, evening appointments on Tuesdays and Thursdays mean you do not need to take time off for each one.
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.
