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.

• Experienced and supportive clinicians  

• Calm, patient-focused approach  

• Clear and transparent pricing

The dentist explained everything that was happening and was caring and understanding

Dr Dundas is an absolutely amazing dentist - I drive for over two hours to see her. She is amazing at explaining things, remembers everything from the last visit and is generally great. I’ve been coming to her since I was a child and am now 37! The best dentist in the UK for sure!

Anish is very friendly and communicates well

13th August 2026

It’s been 35 years since I last visited a dentist, years of childhood trauma and experiences that left me petrified of dental treatment. Fast forward to the present and excruciating pain led me to seek services from Cedar. Your team have been exemplary from the first conversation on the phone when I was trying to explain the problem to my first consultation where Anish dealt with me firmly but very sympathetically, exactly what I needed and coached me through the whole process as I struggled to even sit on the chair. A few days later and Jacob was just as nice and kind despite the fact I was high as a kite on diazepam - something I am very grateful that they agreed to prescribe. I also wish to thank the nurses for their kindness and patience as well, that gentle rubbing on the back of my hand was very comforting.I don’t have a sudden urge to return to see a dentist again, but I know for a fact it when I do, I won’t leave it as long and I won’t hesitate to return to Cedar.

Abby is gentle and kind, caring and non-judgemental. She and her technician explain everything clearly and carefully and always prioritise my ease. I have had more work done with her over the last couple of years than I have in the last 2 decades, and this is the measure of trust I have in them.
