Croydon Dental Practice · Urgent dental care
Toothache, swelling or a broken tooth? Call us as early in the day as you can and we will try to see you quickly, often on the same day. We are a family dentist in Croydon on Lower Addiscombe Road, caring for NHS and private patients.
If something is hurting or has broken, it is better to get it checked sooner rather than later. These are the problems patients most often call us about.
Throbbing pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, or pain when you bite down can point to decay or an infected nerve that needs attention.
Swelling of the gum or face can be a sign of infection. Call us promptly. If swelling affects your breathing or swallowing, call 999 or go to A&E.
A sharp or broken edge can often be smoothed or repaired with a tooth-coloured filling. Larger breaks may need a crown.
Keep a lost crown safe and bring it with you. We will check the tooth underneath and advise on the next step.
Hold it by the crown, not the root, keep it moist in milk and call us straight away. Time matters with this type of injury.
As an orthodontic practice we can usually repair a broken bracket or poking wire. An emergency orthodontic adjustment is £55.
Prices below are starting rates from our price list. Your dentist confirms the cost for your case before treatment.
| Treatment | Price |
|---|---|
| Emergency appointment | £65 |
| Emergency orthodontic adjustment (broken brace or wire) | £55 |
| White filling | From £95 |
| Tooth extraction | From £110 |

See our full price list for other treatments. If you are an NHS patient, ask us whether your treatment can be provided under NHS charges.
We are open Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 17:30. If you need urgent dental advice in the evening, at the weekend or on a bank holiday, call NHS 111, who can direct you to an out-of-hours service. Then ring us when we reopen and we will arrange follow-up care.
Once the urgent problem is sorted, many patients choose to stay with us for routine care.
