Help is close by when you need an emergency dentist
In Pain or Dealing With a Dental Emergency? We Can Help Fast
Toothache, a broken tooth or a knocked-out crown rarely happens at a convenient time. When it does, getting seen quickly can make all the difference to how a problem is treated.
We offer same-day emergency appointments wherever possible, so you can get pain relief and a proper diagnosis as soon as you need it, rather than waiting days for a routine slot.
We welcome emergency dental patients from Hilton Dental Care, Perham Down, Shipton Bellinger, Ludgershall, Collingbourne Ducis and Cholderton, all just a short drive from our practice on Station Road.

Emergencies We Can Help With
Not sure if what you're experiencing counts as an emergency? Here are some of the most common problems we see and treat quickly.
Toothache
Ongoing or severe tooth pain can be a sign of decay, infection or a cracked tooth. We'll identify the cause and get you out of pain.
Broken or Chipped Tooth
Whether from an accident or biting something hard, a broken or chipped tooth can often be repaired quickly to protect it from further damage.
Knocked-Out Tooth
Time matters with a knocked-out tooth. Call us immediately, as prompt treatment can sometimes save the natural tooth.
FAQs
What counts as a dental emergency?
Severe toothache, a knocked-out or broken tooth, uncontrolled bleeding, facial swelling or a lost crown or filling are all reasons to contact us urgently.
Can I get a same-day emergency appointment?
We aim to see emergency patients the same day wherever possible. Call us as early as you can so we can prioritise your visit.
Are emergency appointments available on the NHS?
We operate as a private practice, so emergency appointments are offered privately. We'll talk you through pricing when you call.
What should I do with a knocked-out tooth before I arrive?
Handle it by the crown (not the root), rinse gently if dirty, and try to keep it moist, either back in the socket or in milk, until you reach us.
What if my emergency happens outside opening hours?
Call our practice number for guidance, we'll advise on immediate steps to take and the next available appointment.
Do you treat patients outside Hilton Dental Care?
Yes, we regularly see emergency patients travelling from Perham Down, Shipton Bellinger, Ludgershall, Collingbourne Ducis and Cholderton, all within a short drive of our Station Road practice.
