The cost of an emergency dental appointment can be found on our fees page. The cost of your dental treatment can vary depending on the problem and any treatment required.

 We will always explain any costs clearly before starting treatment.

We aim to provide immediate relief and may begin treatment during your emergency appointment. However, some treatments may require a follow-up visit depending on complexity.

No, a dental infection will not go away without treatment. While symptoms may temporarily improve, the infection will remain. Our dentists can give you full detailed advice during your appointment.

If you experience pain, trauma, swelling, or damage to a tooth, contact the practice as soon as possible. Our team will assess your situation and arrange an urgent appointment where needed.

During your appointment, the dentist will:

  • Examine the problem
  • Identify the cause
  • Relieve pain where possible
  • Explain your options

The priority is to get you comfortable and stabilise the issue.

Tooth pain can feel worse at night because lying down increases blood flow to the head, which can increase pressure in the affected tooth. There are also fewer distractions, making the pain feel more intense.

The team are NUL Dental Practice are all incredibly polite and professional. I was recently moved in to the care of Dr Marcus Charles-Drummond which, as anyone who has had to switch dentists knows, can be a little nerve wracking. However Marcus is incredibly thorough, fast working, informative and makes you feel comfortable with the procedure you'll be undergoing. Recently had to have two fillings plus an extraction and Marcus and Cass were both wonderful. Couldn't recommend enough. You'll be in good hands with this Dental practice

My wife and I have been with the practice for several years and always found the service to be excellent. Emma and her reception colleagues are friendly and make you feel welcome. My recent appointments have been with Dr Marcus, and dental nurse Molly and both have been excellent. They are professional, friendly, and attentive with exceptional client care. Marcus took the time to explain everything clearly and in detail, concisely discussing options for treatment. I am really happy with the treatment received, and would recommend without hesitation if you are looking for a private dental practice.
