When to go to hospital
Only go to A&E if you have:
- heavy bleeding

During normal hours (excluding holidays)
If you have a dental problem during our normal opening hours, please call the practice and we will advise you what to do next.
We endeavour to see you as soon as possible. If you call us first thing in the morning then sometimes this will be the same day. If the same day is not available, then our team will offer you the next available appointment.
There is a standard emergency appointment consultation fee which excludes treatment and is £55 (as usual practice plan members will save 20% on this fee).
The consultation fee is charged to cover the professional time and expertise to examine and diagnose. Any treatment recommended will be quoted separately.
“Non-registered” patients
If you have not seen one of our dentists for a health check within the past 2 years, we will deem you to be a “non-registered” patient.
We don’t always have availability to see “non-registered” emergencies, but if you give the team a call we will advise if we have availability or when the next available appointment may be.
The standard consultation fee for a non registered patient emergency appointment consultation (excluding treatment) is £90. The consultation fee is charged to cover the professional time and expertise to examine and diagnose. Any treatment recommended will be quoted separately.
