No matter how well you look after your teeth, there is a chance that at some point you will need to find an emergency dentist in Edinburgh. At Polwarth Dental Clinic, we will make sure you are seen on the same day and will do our best to ensure you go home pain-free.

Committed to helping emergency patients

We know how horrible it is to be in pain with an urgent dental problem, so we do everything we can to help our patients in the event of an emergency. If you are not a registered patient at Polwarth Dental Clinic but need to see our emergency dentist in Edinburgh, you can still call us during opening hours and we will try our best to see you on the same day.

If you are a registered patient with our practice, you can call us out of hours and contact our on-call dentist. We know that emergencies don’t always happen at a convenient time, so our emergency service is available to our patients 365 days a year.

Registered patients also have the option to take advantage of our practice plan. As part of the plan, there is no charge for emergency appointments within office hours, and as usual you will get 10% off the fee for any treatment you need.

As an emergency dentist in Edinburgh, our main focus is to make sure you can go home pain-free. In some cases, you may need to make an appointment for additional treatment. It depends on what the emergency is and how much work we can carry out on the day.

How do I know if it’s an emergency?

There are some events that are obvious as dental emergencies, such as having a tooth cracked or knocked out, or sudden and intense pain. But you may not always be sure whether you need to call an emergency dentist in Edinburgh or not. If you are unsure it is always worth calling and talking to our experienced staff. They will be able to tell you whether you need an emergency appointment, and give you advice on what to do in the time until you can see the dentist.
