Our emergency dental treatments

Our dentists are trained across multiple disciplines, including restorative dentistry, endodontics, periodontics and oral surgery, so whatever your emergency, it can be addressed quickly and effectively under one roof. We routinely treat severe toothache and gum infections, cracked or broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, chipped or fractured restorations, dental abscesses and facial swelling, emergency root canal treatment, tooth extractions, lost fillings, crowns or veneers, and dental trauma in children and adults. Digital imaging and precision diagnostics let us assess your condition quickly before beginning treatment.

Emergency care for international patients

We regularly assist international visitors, business travellers and tourists who need urgent dental care while in London. Whether you are here for a few days or several weeks, our clinic in the Harley Street medical district offers fast, discreet treatment with minimal disruption to your schedule. We are familiar with foreign insurance providers, and our multilingual team can help you access care quickly and comfortably.

What to do before your appointment

While waiting to see our emergency dentist, a few simple steps can help manage discomfort and protect your teeth. Avoid touching or wiggling damaged teeth or gums, rinse gently with warm water to keep the area clean, and use over-the-counter pain relief if suitable, avoiding aspirin. Avoid very hot or cold drinks, keep any knocked-out tooth moist in milk or saline, and do not attempt self-treatment such as extraction or drainage. If swelling or bleeding is severe, call 111 or go directly to the nearest hospital.

Types of dental emergencies we treat

Toothache and infection

Persistent or severe toothache is a common sign of infection. Our dentists identify the source quickly and provide medication, root canal treatment or extraction where required.

Cracked or broken tooth

Cracks or fractures can lead to infection or pain. We repair the damage using fillings, inlays, crowns or veneers, restoring both appearance and function.

Knocked-out teeth

If a tooth has been dislodged by trauma, immediate action is vital. Bring the tooth with you in milk or a tooth preservation kit, as reimplantation is sometimes possible if treated quickly.

Emergency root canal

Severe infection or abscess in the tooth pulp requires urgent intervention. Our emergency root canal treatment removes bacteria and relieves pain, preserving the natural tooth wherever possible.

Broken crowns, bridges or veneers

We can re-cement or replace restorations the same day. In some cases, temporary replacements can be fitted while a new one is created.

Tooth extraction

If a tooth is beyond repair, we provide gentle, precise extractions under local anaesthetic, followed by advice on replacement options such as implants or bridges.

Emergency care for children

Children can experience dental injuries through sports or accidents. Our dentists provide calm, expert care to treat trauma, protect developing teeth and ease discomfort.

How much is an emergency dentist in the UK?

Private emergency dentist fees vary based on the treatment required. An emergency appointment to relieve pain is £300, and a review is £150. Any additional treatment such as fillings, extractions or root canal therapy is discussed and agreed before proceeding. NHS emergency care is often limited to pain relief or extraction, whereas private emergency dentistry offers immediate, high-quality treatment.

I cannot recommend this dental practice highly enough. Professor Mehl has provided an exceptional standard of care and professionalism, and I have been genuinely impressed by both his expertise and his approach to patient care. He is exceptionally kind, patient and reassuring, and completely non-judgemental. I have never felt embarrassed or uncomfortable discussing my dental hygiene, and he has always made me feel at ease. His positive and compassionate manner immediately puts you at ease, even if you are someone who feels anxious about dental treatment. What I particularly appreciate is the personal level of care he provides. He remembers me personally, greets me when I arrive and genuinely takes an interest in me as a patient. This makes such a difference and is something I have rarely experienced elsewhere. I am currently saving towards an implant, and Professor Mehl went above and beyond by building a temporary tooth. I was incredibly touched by this gesture and it is a wonderful example of the kindness and consideration he shows his patients. He is also exceptionally skilled, even the injections were completely painless, which is something I have never experienced with another dentist! I would also like to mention Jennifer (dental therapist) who is absolutely wonderful. She gave me an incredibly thorough deep clean, yet somehow managed to make the entire experience completely comfortable and pain-free. She did an exceptional job, and I was so impressed with the care and attention to detail she showed throughout. Jennifer is also incredibly warm and personable, her smile genuinely brightens the room. Like Professor Mehl, she remembers me personally, which makes every visit feel welcoming and reassuring rather than clinical. I am extremely grateful for the care I have received from the whole team. Professor Mehl and Jennifer combine exceptional professionalism and expertise with genuine kindness and compassion. It is clear that they truly care about their patients, and I would wholeheartedly recommend this practice to anyone looking for outstanding dental care.

I was on vacation in London, and a crown came off during my first full day there. I was literally 4,000 miles from home, and, as luck would have it, I was near the Wimpole Street Dental Clinic. The receptionist could see the panic on my face when I walked through the door. He calmed me down by assuring me that he would make sure I got fixed up right away. Soon after, I saw the dentist. He was excellent. Fixed me up in no time. I was able to enjoy the rest of my bucket-list trip without worrying about my teeth! I can't thank them enough! If you have dental needs, I highly recommend stopping in! Here's a pic of me with the doc and his staff after they fixed my crown—such a great group of people.

Really friendly dentist. My daughter needed some fillings and we’re really pleased with the results - they are invisible and it wasn’t painful

Exceptional dental care you can trust. I first visited Dr. Raul Costa for an emergency appointment regarding a root treated tooth that had flared up. He was incredibly reassuring, calm, listened to my concerns, and took great care in explaining my options. Instead of pushing for an expensive implant, he referred me to an endodontist to try and save the tooth. Four years later, it is perfectly restored. Dr. Costa is a highly competent dentist who combines exceptional skill, experience, and artistic talent. He only uses high quality materials to make sure any restorations last. He cares deeply about his patients, listens to your concerns, puts you at ease, and works with a fantastic team who are kind and supportive. I still get compliments on my smile today. If you want first class dentistry and are looking for someone who can create a natural and artistically beautiful smile, he’s the go-to dentist I would recommend to everyone.
