What dental problems need urgent attention?
Urgent assessment may be appropriate for severe or persistent toothache, facial swelling, a broken or knocked-out tooth, bleeding that does not settle, a lost filling or crown, a dental abscess, or pain after an injury. Sudden sensitivity, a sharp edge cutting your cheek, or difficulty biting may also need prompt attention. We assess this in person because symptoms can have different causes.
Seek immediate medical help if swelling affects breathing or swallowing, spreads rapidly, or is accompanied by feeling seriously unwell. While waiting for dental advice, avoid placing aspirin directly on the gum, do not apply heat to facial swelling, and keep any knocked-out adult tooth moist rather than scrubbing it. Bring the tooth or restoration with you if possible.
What happens during an urgent dental visit?
Dr Chalita le Roux first listens to what happened, reviews your symptoms and examines your teeth, gums and surrounding tissues. Where clinically appropriate, digital images or other investigations may help identify decay, infection, a crack, trauma or a problem with an existing restoration. We assess this in person rather than deciding on treatment from a message alone.
The immediate aim may be to relieve discomfort, protect a damaged tooth, manage infection or stabilise an injury. The recommended treatment depends on the findings, your oral health and your goals. Dr Chalita le Roux explains the available options, likely stages, risks and aftercare before treatment starts, and you can ask questions about the plan.
Can an urgent visit include a crown or veneer in one appointment?
Many suitable crowns and veneers can be completed in a single visit through our digital workflow, using digital scanning and CEREC CAD/CAM technology. This can reduce impressions, laboratory waiting and repeated trips from Ruimsig, which may mean less time away from work or family responsibilities.
Single-visit treatment is not suitable for every tooth or every clinical situation. The tooth may need stabilisation, infection management, gum treatment or other preparation first, and some cases require laboratory work or more than one appointment. We assess this in person and recommend the right sequence after examining your tooth and discussing your priorities.
How does cost for urgent dental treatment get determined?
The cost of an urgent visit depends on what is found and what treatment is clinically appropriate. Factors can include the examination, imaging, materials, laboratory work, the number of teeth involved, the complexity of the repair and how long the result is expected to last. A straightforward repair may fall into the $ tier, a more involved restoration into the $$ tier, and complex restorative or cosmetic work into the $$$ tier.
Do not delay assessment because you are unsure what treatment may involve. We explain the proposed care, alternatives and relevant cost factors before proceeding. An exact, personalised estimate is given after the consultation, in writing, before any treatment starts.

Frequently asked questions
Where is the urgent dentist for Ruimsig patients?
Dr Chalita le Roux Inc is in Roodepoort at Unit 2, Amorosa Office Park, on the corner of Doreen Road and Lawrence Road in Amorosa. Patients from Ruimsig can usually reach the practice by following Hendrik Potgieter Road towards Amorosa. The drive is roughly eight minutes in suitable traffic, although journey times vary. Free on-site parking is available. Contact the practice before travelling so the team can advise about appointment availability.
Can I get a same-day emergency dental appointment?
Same-day urgent appointments are prioritised where capacity allows during treatment hours, Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 17:00. Phone the practice or send a WhatsApp message and explain your symptoms, including swelling, trauma, severe pain or a broken tooth. The team will advise on the next available appointment. Book 24 hours a day on WhatsApp. We treat patients Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 17:00. Appointment timing depends on clinical urgency and availability.
What should I do if my tooth is knocked out?
If an adult tooth is knocked out, handle it by the crown rather than the root and avoid scrubbing it. If it is visibly dirty, gently rinse it, then keep it moist in milk or an appropriate tooth-preservation solution while seeking urgent dental advice. If possible, place it back in its socket without forcing it. Do not attempt to replace a baby tooth. Contact the practice promptly and explain what happened so we can assess the situation in person.
Can you help with facial swelling or a dental abscess?
Facial swelling, a gum lump, a bad taste, fever or worsening toothache may indicate infection and needs prompt assessment. Dr Chalita le Roux examines the affected area and determines whether the problem relates to the tooth, gum or another structure. Treatment depends on the findings and may involve drainage, tooth treatment, restoration or referral. If swelling affects breathing or swallowing, spreads quickly, or makes you feel seriously unwell, seek immediate medical assistance rather than waiting for a routine appointment.
Will an urgent appointment fix my tooth in one visit?
Some urgent problems can be stabilised or restored during one visit, while others need staged care. Many suitable crowns and veneers can be completed in a single visit using digital scanning and CEREC CAD/CAM. This depends on the tooth, gum health, bite, infection status, restoration design and clinical suitability. We assess this in person, explain the alternatives and confirm the proposed sequence before treatment. A damaged or infected tooth may need initial care before a final restoration is placed.
How does the digital crown and veneer process work?
After assessing the tooth and confirming that the treatment is suitable, we prepare the tooth where necessary and capture its shape with a digital scanner. CEREC CAD/CAM technology is then used to design and produce the restoration workflow. Many suitable crowns and veneers can be completed in a single visit, reducing the need for temporary restorations and repeated travel. The process is not suitable for every case, so Dr Chalita le Roux decides after an in-person examination and discussion of your goals.
How much will urgent dental treatment cost?
There is no single cost because urgent treatment varies according to the diagnosis and the required care. Materials, laboratory work, the number of teeth involved, case complexity and expected longevity can all affect the total. Treatment may fall into the $ tier for simpler care, the $$ tier for moderate restorative work or the $$$ tier for more complex treatment. We discuss relevant options and cost factors clearly. An exact, personalised estimate is given after the consultation, in writing, before any treatment starts.
Who will look after me during my appointment?
