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.

  • Where is the clinic and who is this service for?

    easily accessible for Christchurch patients. Emergency dental care is available to both enrolled and casual patients, every day we’re open — no need to be enrolled to get help.
