Emergency dentist in Leicester
Toothache, broken teeth, swelling or bleeding — dental problems can happen suddenly, and we’re here to help when they do. Whether you’re a regular patient or new to us, we’ll do our best to see you quickly and get you out of pain.
When to call us
If something doesn’t feel right — trust your instinct. Even if you’re not sure it counts as an emergency, give us a call. We’ll guide you through what to do and aim to book you in as soon as possible. We can help with:
Toothache that’s sharp, constant or keeping you awake
Broken or chipped teeth
Knocked-out teeth
Lost fillings, crowns or bridges
Swelling, bleeding or signs of infection
Trauma to the mouth or jaw
Abscesses or throbbing pain
Little teeth. Big care.
What happens at an emergency appointment?
Our first priority is to get you out of pain. We’ll examine the problem area, take X-rays if needed, and explain what’s going on in clear terms.
Where possible, we’ll provide treatment on the day. If a full repair needs more time, we’ll make sure you’re comfortable and plan a follow-up as soon as we can.
Not every emergency looks the same
Some dental problems are sudden and obvious — others build up quietly over time. Whether it’s a cracked tooth, swelling, or just something that doesn’t feel right, we’ll take it seriously.
Even if you’re not in pain, it’s still worth getting checked. Catching things early often means simpler, more comfortable treatment — and peace of mind sooner rather than later.
Clear answers, calm care
Dental emergencies can feel stressful — especially if you’re in pain or unsure what’s going on. We’re here to help without judgement, no matter how long it’s been since you last saw a dentist.
You don’t have to wait or “see if it gets better.” Just call — we’ll take it from there.

Questions about emergency dentist in Leicester?
What counts as a dental emergency?
Severe pain, swelling, bleeding, broken teeth, or anything that stops you eating, sleeping or going about your day comfortably. If you’re unsure — call.
Will I be seen the same day?
We always do our best to offer same-day emergency appointments. If not, we’ll get you in as soon as possible and help in the meantime.
Do I have to be an existing patient?
No — we welcome new patients for emergencies. You don’t need to be registered with us to get help.
Can you fix a broken filling or crown?
Yes — we can often repair or replace it temporarily or permanently depending on the case.
