What to Expect at Your Emergency Appointment
When you book an emergency dental visit, our primary goal is to get you out of pain. We will aim to:
- Relieve your pain with the most appropriate immediate treatment.
- Provide a clear diagnosis using digital X-rays if needed.
- Offer next-step care options if more complex treatment (like a Root Canal) is required later.
Your emergency treatment might involve:
- A simple extraction: Removing a damaged or infected tooth.
- A pulp dressing: Medicating an inflamed nerve to stop the throbbing.
- Abscess drainage: Relieving pressure from infection.
- Temporary relief: Stabilizing a broken tooth before permanent repair.
No two emergencies are the same — we’ll explain your options clearly so you can make an informed decision.

Emergency Dental FAQs
What counts as a dental emergency?
A dental emergency includes issues like intense tooth pain, swelling, a knocked-out tooth, uncontrolled bleeding, or signs of a spreading infection (e.g. fever or swelling of face/neck). If you're in doubt, it’s best to call us and we’ll help assess whether you need urgent care.
Can I be seen for emergency dental care on the same day?
Yes — at 1 Health in Wigram, we aim to offer same-day appointments when available. We provide prompt, clear treatment for toothaches, swelling, trauma, or severe pain, with no upselling.
How much does emergency dental treatment cost?
Our pricing for emergency dental care is transparent and ranges between $350–$550, depending on the treatment type. We’ll explain the cost clearly before any treatment begins.
Do crowns or veneers damage my natural teeth?
Crowns require more tooth reduction, while veneers need only a thin enamel layer removed. Both are safe when done professionally, and the benefits typically outweigh any minor alteration to the tooth surface.
What treatments are provided during an emergency dental visit?
Depending on your situation, we may perform a tooth extraction, apply a pulp dressing to calm a painful nerve, or provide temporary relief before a more complex procedure like a root canal.
