Emergency Dentist in London — Open 7 Days a Week, Including Late Evenings
Dental emergencies rarely give advance warning. Sudden toothache, facial swelling, broken teeth, or dental trauma can escalate quickly, causing significant pain and distress. If you are searching for a reliable emergency dentist in London, London Braces provides prompt, professional and compassionate urgent dental care — with same-day appointments available whenever clinically possible.
Located in Central London at South Kensington, our clinic is easily accessible for patients across the city. Whether you are at home, at work, or visiting the area, urgent dental care is readily accessible.
Our emergency dental service is delivered by experienced clinicians using advanced diagnostic technology and evidence-based treatments. We prioritise immediate pain relief when clinically possible, accurate diagnosis, and effective same-day solutions — without unnecessary delays or hidden costs.
We treat a wide range of dental emergencies, including severe toothache, dental abscesses, broken or knocked-out teeth, loose crowns or fillings, facial swelling and dental injuries. Our South Kensington clinic is open 7 days a week, including evenings and weekends (Sat & Sun 10am–4pm).
Urgent care
Emergency Dentist London: Urgent Care When You Need It
Our emergency dentist in London offers flexible options for evening, weekend, and walk-in patients. Dental pain doesn't adhere to a 9-to-5 schedule — that's why we structured our clinic hours so you don't have to suffer in silence.
FLEXIBLE ACCESS
Out of Hours Dentist
Evening and early-morning slots for professionals who can't take time off work, or when pain spikes at night.
OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK
Weekend Emergency Dentist
Saturday and Sunday appointments (10am–4pm at our South Kensington clinic) for dental emergencies that can't wait until Monday.
NO WAITING LIST
Private Emergency Dentist
Same-day private appointments where clinically possible — no NHS waiting list, with a written, itemised plan before any treatment begins.
NO BOOKING REQUIRED
Walk-In Dentist
Booking is recommended, but we accept walk-ins whenever a slot is available on the day.
Conditions we treat
What Our Emergency Dentist Team Treats
We handle the full spectrum of dental emergencies on the spot with same-day appointments where clinically possible. Our goal is to diagnose the issue, stop the pain, and provide a lasting solution.
Severe Toothache
Throbbing pain keeping you awake? We work to relieve pain quickly and diagnose the underlying cause at your appointment.
Broken / Chipped Tooth
Trauma to your mouth? We repair fractures and restore your smile using aesthetic composite bonding or high-strength crowns.
Dental Abscess
Swelling and fever signal serious infection. We provide antibiotic treatment and drainage to stop the spread immediately.
Lost Filling / Crown
Exposed nerves can be agonising. We replace lost fillings with high-quality white fillings or re-cement crowns quickly.
Wisdom Tooth Pain
Impacted teeth causing jaw pain? We offer urgent management plans including irrigation or surgical extraction.
Root Canal Treatment
Save your tooth from extraction. We perform emergency root canal treatment to remove infected pulp and stop the pain.
Red flags
When Should You See an Emergency Dentist in London?
Dental emergencies strike unexpectedly. Immediate action is crucial to saving a tooth and preventing infection. If you have severe pain, active bleeding, or trauma — do not wait. We prioritise these cases for same-day relief where clinically possible.
- 1
Severe Tooth Pain
Persistent, throbbing pain radiating to the jaw, ear or neck — not relieved by over-the-counter painkillers — often indicates deep decay, an exposed nerve or infection. Ignoring it can lead to loss of the tooth.
- 2
Knocked-Out Tooth (Avulsion)
A critical dental emergency. A permanent tooth reimplanted quickly has the highest chance of survival. Handle by the crown (not the root) — place back in the socket, or keep in milk/saliva and call us immediately.
- 3
Dental Abscess or Swelling
Swelling in gums, face, cheek or neck signals significant infection. Left untreated, an abscess can spread and even restrict breathing. Swelling with a fever is an emergency.
- 4
Uncontrollable Bleeding
Minor bleeding after extraction is normal, but bleeding that doesn't stop after 20 minutes of firm pressure needs urgent care — especially if you're on blood-thinners.
- 5
Lost Filling or Crown
Not always painful initially, but exposed inner tooth tissue leads to structural damage, decay and severe sensitivity. We aim to restore the tooth the same day to avoid more invasive treatment later.

First aid
What to Do While You Wait
Quick self-care steps to take between calling us and arriving at the clinic.
Knocked-out tooth
Hold by the crown, not the root. Place in milk or saliva and call us immediately.
Dental abscess
Apply a cold compress. Do not attempt to burst it. Take pain relief if appropriate and contact us the same day.
Lost crown or filling
Cover the area with dental wax or sugar-free gum. Avoid chewing on that side.
Broken tooth
Rinse with warm water. Apply pressure if bleeding. Keep any fragments safe and bring them with you.
Real case
Real Case — Emergency Broken Front Tooth
A typical same-day pathway for a patient who arrives with a fractured upper front tooth. Names and identifying details are withheld; the steps below mirror the standard process every emergency patient receives.
- Presentation
- Patient called the practice after chipping an upper central incisor on a hard food item. No bleeding, no loose tooth, pain on cold drinks. Triaged by phone and offered a same-day emergency appointment.
- Assessment
- Pain-focused examination, periapical X-ray and vitality testing to rule out nerve involvement or root fracture. The nerve was healthy and the fracture confined to enamel and superficial dentine.
- Treatment
- Same-visit composite bonding to rebuild the corner of the tooth, shade-matched to the adjacent incisor, with a written aftercare plan. A follow-up review was booked to check the bond and the bite.
- Outcome
- Pain resolved, function and appearance restored in a single visit. Patient left with an itemised invoice and a clear long-term plan in case they wished to upgrade to a veneer or crown later.
