Understanding When It Can’t Wait

Some dental concerns can be managed at a scheduled appointment. Others need attention today. If you are experiencing any of the following, we encourage you to call us immediately so we can assess your situation and prioritise your care:

  • Severe or persistent toothache
  • A broken, cracked, or knocked-out tooth
  • A lost filling or crown
  • Swelling of the face, jaw, or gum
  • Bleeding that will not stop
  • An abscess or signs of infection
  • Dental pain following a recent procedure

If you are unsure whether your situation requires urgent care, call us. We would rather you reach out and be reassured than wait and have things worsen.

Calm, Considered Care – Even in a Crisis

An emergency visit at Altura follows the same considered approach as every other appointment. You will not feel rushed or processed. When you arrive, your dentist will take the time to understand what has happened, assess the affected area thoroughly, and explain your options clearly before any treatment begins.

Our focus is on both resolving your immediate discomfort and protecting your long-term oral health. Where possible, we aim to stabilise the situation in a single visit so you leave feeling settled and informed about the next steps.

What We Can Help With

Depending on your situation, emergency dental treatment at Altura may include one or more of the following. Each is approached with the same precision and care regardless of urgency.

Toothache Relief A severe toothache is often a sign of something that needs prompt attention – infection, nerve involvement, or a structural issue with the tooth. We assess the cause directly and provide treatment or medication to address the source of your pain, not just mask it.

Broken, Cracked, or Lost Restorations A broken tooth or lost filling can worsen quickly if left untreated. We assess the extent of the damage and protect the tooth with a temporary or permanent restoration before planning any further treatment required.

Dental Extractions & Root Canal Treatment When a tooth cannot be saved, removal may be the most straightforward path forward. Where the tooth can be saved, root canal treatment may be the appropriate option. In either case, we apply topical anaesthetic before any injection and guide you clearly through what is involved.
