Emergency Dentistry

Did you wake up with a terrible toothache or fall and break your tooth? If so, you may be unsure where to turn. Dental emergencies can be stressful and frightening, especially when they strike outside of regular hours.

At Dentique Studios, we are committed to being there when you need us most, so you can get fast relief and the right treatment to protect your smile.

What Is a Dental Emergency?

Any situation that requires a dentist to restore your oral health and alleviate your pain is a dental emergency. Our caring team will do whatever we can to make you comfortable, stop any bleeding or save your tooth. If you are unsure whether your situation qualifies as an emergency, it is always best to reach out to us. We can advise you on the best course of action and help you decide if you need urgent care.

Some of the most common dental emergencies include:

  • Severe or persistent toothache
  • Knocked-out or broken teeth
  • Dental abscesses or infections
  • Lost fillings, crowns or restorations
  • Trauma to the teeth or gums

Benefits of Emergency Dentistry

Acting quickly in a dental emergency provides many advantages. Here are four important benefits:
Relieves Pain
Emergency care addresses discomfort right away so you can feel more comfortable and relaxed.
Preserves Teeth
Fast treatment after trauma or infection can often save a tooth that might otherwise be lost.
Prevents Complications
Timely intervention helps stop minor issues from escalating into more serious problems that require complex treatment.
Provides Peace of Mind
Knowing that help is available evenings and weekends reduces stress and provides reassurance in difficult moments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Dental emergencies can be stressful and often happen when you least expect them. Whether it is sudden tooth pain, a broken tooth or an injury, knowing what to expect can help you feel more at ease.

At Dentique Studios, we aim to make your emergency visit as calm and comfortable as possible while focusing on quick relief and effective treatment.

What to Expect During Your Visit

When you arrive, our team will first work to relieve any immediate discomfort. This may involve:

  • A thorough examination of the affected area
  • Digital x-rays, if needed, to diagnose the problem
  • Immediate treatment to address pain, swelling or damage

Once the urgent issue is under control, your dentist will explain the next steps to restore your oral health. This may include further treatment on the same day or scheduling follow-up care to complete the process. Our goal is to stabilise the situation quickly while protecting the health of your teeth and gums.

We Encourage You to Contact Us

If you find yourself in a dental emergency, it is important to get care as soon as possible.

You are welcome to contact Dentique Studios in Bentleigh East on (03) 9304 2357 so our friendly team can assist you and arrange prompt attention.

Evening and Weekend Emergency Appointments

We understand that dental problems rarely happen at a convenient time. That is why Dentique Studios is here to serve you in the evenings and on weekends.

Our flexible hours mean you will not have to wait days for relief. Instead, you can count on timely, compassionate care when you need it most.

What to Do Until You Reach the Clinic

Quick action can make a significant difference in the outcome of a dental emergency. Our team is here to provide guidance over the phone and ensure you are supported until you reach us.

Here are some helpful steps to take:

  • Toothache: Rinse your mouth with warm water and use over-the-counter pain relief if needed. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the gums.
  • Knocked-out tooth: Without touching its roots, rinse your tooth and try to place it back in the socket. If that doesn’t work, keep it in milk until you arrive.
  • Broken tooth: Rinse your tooth and mouth with water and use an ice pack to reduce swelling. Save any fragments.
  • Lost filling or crown: Try not to chew on that side until you can be seen.

Emergency Dentistry Technology

Noise-Cancelling Headphones

We understand that dental visits can feel overwhelming, especially during more complex procedures or emergency dentistry. That’s why we offer noise-cancelling headphones to help you relax and tune out the sounds of treatment.

Whether you prefer calming music, a podcast or just some quiet, these headphones create a more peaceful experience so you can feel at ease in the chair. They’re especially helpful for patients who feel anxious about drills or unfamiliar noises. It’s just one of the many ways we prioritise your comfort and create a supportive, stress-free environment during every visit.
