Common Emergencies We Treat
Severe Toothache
A toothache can range from mild discomfort to excruciating pain, often indicating an underlying issue such as an infection or decay. It’s essential not to ignore a toothache, as it can worsen and lead to more extensive treatment if left untreated. At Studio Smiles, we can quickly identify the cause of your toothache and provide the necessary treatment to alleviate your pain and prevent further complications.
Knocked-out Teeth
A knocked-out tooth is one of the most urgent dental emergencies. If you act quickly, there’s a good chance the tooth can be saved and re-implanted. Keep the tooth moist and contact Studio Smiles immediately for the best chance of successful re-implantation. Our team is experienced in handling such emergencies and will do everything possible to restore your smile.
Broken Dental Work (Crowns, Bridges, Fillings)
Broken or damaged dental work, such as crowns, bridges, or fillings, can lead to discomfort, sensitivity, and further damage to your teeth. It’s important to address these issues promptly to avoid the risk of infection or additional damage. At Studio Smiles, we can repair or replace your dental work quickly and efficiently, ensuring your dental health is maintained.

FAQs
How do I get an emergency dentist in Melbourne?
Emergency dentists in Melbourne can be difficult to find. However, there are a few steps you can take to ensure you get the treatment you need. First, try contacting your regular dentist.
Many dentists have after-hours numbers that you can call in case of an emergency. If your dentist does not have an after-hours number, they may be able to refer you to another local dentist who does. You can also search online for emergency dental clinics in your area. Be sure to read reviews before choosing a clinic, as not all clinics are created equal. Finally, if you cannot find an emergency dentist in Melbourne, consider going to the nearest hospital emergency room. The staff there may be able to provide you with the care you need or refer you to a local dentist who can help.
Studio Smiles is prepared to help you with your dental needs whether it is an emergency or not. We understand that sometimes accidents happen and you need someone you can trust to help you through it. That’s why we offer same-day appointments and priority care for dental emergencies.
We know that when you’re in pain, the last thing you want to do is wait. Our experienced team will work quickly and efficiently to get you the care you need and get you back to your life. So if you’re ever in a dental emergency, don’t hesitate to give us a call. We’ll be there for you.
How much are emergency dentist appointments?
Emergency dental appointments generally cost more than regular check-ups. This is because emergency appointments are typically unscheduled and require more time and attention from the dentist. The average cost of an emergency dental appointment is $200-$300, but the exact price will depend on the complexity of the procedure.
For example, a tooth extraction will usually cost more than a filling. Insurance may cover some or all of the cost of an emergency dental appointment, but it is important to check with your insurer beforehand. There are also a number of financial assistance programs available for those who cannot afford the full cost of treatment.
What will a dentist do in an emergency?
A dentist can provide care for a wide range of dental emergencies, from a chipped tooth to a severe infection. In the case of a minor emergency, such as a toothache or a small chip, the dentist may simply clean the affected area and provide some pain relief.
For more serious problems, such as a tooth that has been knocked out or an abscessed tooth, the dentist may need to perform more extensive treatment. This could involve reattaching the tooth or performing root canal surgery. In any case, it is important to see a dentist as soon as possible after an injury to ensure that the problem does not get worse.
What is the most common dental emergency?
Dental emergencies can be extremely painful, and they often happen when we least expect it. The most common dental emergency is a chipped or broken tooth. This can occur from biting down on hard food, playing sports, or even just accidentally hitting your mouth. If you have a chipped or broken tooth, it’s important to see a dentist as soon as possible. If the break is severe, the tooth may need to be extracted. In other cases, the dentist may be able to repair the damage with bonding or a crown.
Other common dental emergencies include abscesses, toothaches, and lost fillings. An abscess is a pocket of pus that forms around the root of a tooth. It can be extremely painful and may require antibiotics or even surgery to treat. A toothache is usually caused by decay or inflammation and can range from mild to severe. Lost fillings are another common problem, especially if the filling was large or in a visible location. If you have a dental emergency, it’s important to seek professional treatment as soon as possible to minimise the damage.
