Dental pain doesn’t wait and neither should you. At Thorpe Lea Dental, we understand how distressing it can be to face a sudden toothache, broken filling, or dental injury. That’s why we prioritise same-day appointments for emergencies, ensuring you get swift relief when it matters most.
From the moment you call, our team is ready to help. We’ll listen carefully to your concerns, provide expert advice, and arrange an urgent visit to diagnose the issue, ease your discomfort, and explain your treatment options. It’s compassionate, professional care, delivered when you need it most.
Our monthly plans make it easier to stay on top of your dental health. Patients on a plan tend to visit more regularly, helping to prevent problems before they start—so you stay well, avoid pain, and reduce the need for costly treatments.
We believe in clear, upfront pricing so you can focus on getting the care you need without financial surprises. Our emergency appointment fee of £183 covers immediate treatment to relieve pain. If you require further procedures, we’ll explain all options and credit this fee towards your follow-up care — so you always know where you stand.
