Common dental emergencies we treat include:

  • Knocked-out or dislodged teeth
  • Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth
  • Severe toothache or abscess
  • Lost fillings or crowns
  • Soft tissue injuries to the lips, gums, or tongue
  • Dental trauma from workplace accidents

    We prioritise emergency patients and will do our best to see you on the same day you call. After-hours appointments are also available for urgent cases.

  • Is emergency dental treatment covered by insurance?

    Coverage depends on your individual health insurance policy. For workplace injuries, WorkCover may cover the cost of treatment entirely. Our team can assist you in understanding your options.
