What counts as a dental emergency?
A dental emergency is a problem that needs prompt assessment because of significant pain, injury, swelling or a risk to a tooth. Examples include a knocked or broken tooth, a lost filling or crown, sudden toothache, a dental abscess or swelling around the mouth. Difficulty breathing or swallowing, or swelling that is spreading quickly, needs urgent medical attention at an emergency facility.
Contact the practice to explain what has happened and arrange an appointment during treatment hours, Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 17:00. Dr Chalita le Roux will assess the affected area in person, identify likely causes and explain suitable next steps. The right treatment depends on the examination and your circumstances.

What happens during an emergency dental visit?
The visit starts with a discussion of your symptoms, when they began and any relevant dental history. Dr Chalita le Roux examines the area in person and may recommend imaging or other checks to understand the cause. She will explain the findings, available options, likely risks and what care is appropriate for your situation.
Urgent care may focus on easing the immediate problem, protecting a damaged tooth or treating infection, with further care planned if needed. The exact approach depends on the diagnosis and your health. You can ask questions before deciding how to proceed, and the practice will explain aftercare and signs that call for further attention.
Can a crown or veneer be completed in one visit?
Many suitable crowns and veneers can be designed and made in a single visit using the practice’s CEREC CAD/CAM workflow and digital scanning. A digital scan records the shape of your teeth without a conventional impression, and the design and restoration are prepared using the available in-practice technology. For patients travelling from Northcliff, this may mean less time away from work and fewer repeat trips.
A same-day restoration is not suitable for every tooth or situation. Dr Chalita le Roux assesses the tooth, bite, gum health and treatment needs in person before recommending an option. Some cases need a different approach or more than one visit, and the expected steps are discussed with you before treatment.
What affects the cost of emergency dental treatment?
The cost depends on what the examination finds and what care is needed. Factors can include the materials used, any laboratory work, the number of teeth involved and the complexity of the problem. A straightforward repair may involve a different level of work from a restoration or treatment for a more complex dental condition.
As a broad relative guide, simpler care may fall into a $ tier, more involved treatment into $$, and complex care with additional materials or laboratory work into $$$. These tiers are not a quote. An exact, personalised estimate is given after the consultation, in writing, before any treatment starts.

What should I do if I have a severe toothache?
Contact the practice during treatment hours and describe the pain, when it started and whether you have swelling, fever or difficulty eating. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the tooth or gum, as this can irritate the tissue. Dr Chalita le Roux needs to assess the cause in person before advising on treatment. If swelling is spreading quickly or affects breathing or swallowing, seek urgent medical care.
What should I do if a tooth is knocked out?
Seek dental care promptly and handle the tooth by its crown, not its root. If it is dirty, rinse it gently with milk or saline; do not scrub it. Keep it moist in milk or saliva while travelling, and avoid forcing it back into place. Contact the practice to explain what happened. The dentist will assess the injury in person and advise whether the tooth can be treated and what follow-up may be needed.
Can a broken tooth be repaired in one appointment?
That depends on how much of the tooth is damaged, whether the nerve is affected and the condition of the surrounding teeth and gums. Some suitable restorations can be completed in one visit, while other cases need additional treatment or appointments. The practice uses digital scanning and CEREC CAD/CAM for many suitable crowns and veneers. Dr Chalita le Roux assesses the tooth in person and explains the options before treatment.

The number of appointments depends on the diagnosis, the treatment selected and how the tooth responds. Many suitable crowns and veneers can be completed in a single visit using digital scanning and CEREC CAD/CAM, but this is not appropriate for every case. The dentist will discuss the expected plan with you.
What should I do after emergency dental treatment?
Follow the instructions provided for your specific treatment, including any advice about eating, cleaning the area or taking prescribed medicine.
