Dental Emergency in Preston
Toothache, broken teeth, lost fillings, and painful swellings — call us first. We prioritise genuine emergencies and will guide you on the next best step.
Emergency-first, without the panic
Our team triages every call so genuine emergencies are seen promptly, while routine care stays protected for everyone else.
When you can be seen
Same-day appointments are offered when capacity allows and your symptoms need urgent attention. If we cannot see you immediately, we will advise safe interim measures and the soonest slot.
Typical windows
Weekday urgent slots are prioritised for pain, trauma, and infection. Weekend cover varies — call and we will confirm the same day.
What happens next
Call us or book online — we triage every emergency enquiry.
We allocate the next appropriate slot for urgent cases.
You’ll be examined, informed of options, and costs agreed where possible.
Treatment or stabilisation is provided when clinically appropriate.
We’ll arrange follow-up or referral if your case needs specialist care.
Triage questions we may ask
These help us prioritise care and spot cases that need hospital or specialist services instead of a routine dental slot.
Complex cases & treatment abroad
Some emergencies require a hospital emergency department (e.g. breathing difficulty, rapidly spreading facial swelling, or trauma with suspected fracture). If you have recently had extensive treatment abroad and now have pain or infection, we may need additional investigations — definitive treatment can require staged care or referral.

Payment expectations
On the day
Payment is usually taken after your appointment for treatment provided. Booking or priority fees (if applicable) secure the slot and are separate from clinical fees unless combined into a single agreed bundle at triage.
Payment options
Payment options, where available, are discussed after a full assessment. Your clinician will confirm the treatment and final fees.
