FAQS

No, we welcome both registered and non-registered patients for emergency appointments.

The cost of an emergency dental appointment can be found on our fees page. The cost of your dental treatment can vary depending on the problem and any treatment required.

 We will always explain any costs clearly before starting treatment.

We aim to provide immediate relief and may begin treatment during your emergency appointment. However, some treatments may require a follow-up visit depending on complexity.

No, a dental infection will not go away without treatment. While symptoms may temporarily improve, the infection will remain. Our dentists can give you full detailed advice during your appointment.

If you experience pain, trauma, swelling, or damage to a tooth, contact the practice as soon as possible. Our team will assess your situation and arrange an urgent appointment where needed.

During your appointment, the dentist will:

  • Examine the problem
  • Identify the cause
  • Relieve pain where possible
  • Explain your options

The priority is to get you comfortable and stabilise the issue.

Tooth pain can feel worse at night because lying down increases blood flow to the head, which can increase pressure in the affected tooth. There are also fewer distractions, making the pain feel more intense.

Abigail looks after me so well. Thank you.

Personally I wouldn’t ever go anywhere else due to the knowledge and care my dentist takes with my teeth; mouth and general wellbeing. At my appointments I am always at ease and I know I am in good hands.

My dentist Abi Dundas is amazing and I never worry about visiting the dentist if my appointment is with her. I don’t know what I will do if she ever decides to retire.

6th June 2026

I had a pain in my tooth, which was getting progressively worse. I am in the middle of my A-levels and I explained this and Abby agreed to see me at some point in the afternoon so I waited until she had a chance to see me, I did not have an appointment. She saw me relatively quickly and saw that I needed a filling & she sorted it then and there. I am very grateful for being seen so quickly.

Abbie is a superstar who makes you feel completely (well, almost!) relaxed and confident.
