Your Emergency Dentist Appointment in Westlake

Your comfort comes first. We start by easing the pain, then take a proper look at what has caused the problem, using an x-ray where it helps. We will explain what we have found in plain language, lay out the choices, and make sure you understand the cost before we begin. Wherever possible we treat you on the spot so you are not left waiting for relief.

• Whether treatment can be completed at the same appointment

We are glad to hand over item numbers for your health fund so you can claim what you are entitled to, and we can look at payment arrangements if you would like to break the cost down. Just let us know.

Frequently asked questions

How long can I wait with a toothache?

If you have persistent or severe toothache, you should seek care as soon as possible. Pain that doesn’t settle can indicate infection or nerve damage and usually won’t resolve on its own.

Do I need to see a dentist if the pain goes away?

Yes. Pain that comes and goes can still indicate an underlying problem. It’s best to have the tooth assessed to prevent a more serious emergency later.

Can you see me today?

We keep time aside for emergencies and will do our best to see you on the same day. Please call us early in the day if possible.

Do you accept health funds?

Yes, we can provide item numbers and receipts for your health fund and discuss estimates before treatment is carried out.
