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 fractured tooth, a lost filling or crown causing pain, a dental abscess, or bleeding that continues after an injury. The cause and urgency can differ, so we assess this in person rather than relying on symptoms alone.
Facial swelling that affects breathing or swallowing, severe injury, or uncontrolled bleeding needs urgent medical attention at an emergency facility. For dental symptoms without those warning signs, contact the practice and describe what has happened. Dr Chalita le Roux, BChD cum laude from the University of Pretoria and a SAAAD member, provides personalised care from assessment through treatment planning.
How do I get to the practice from Constantia Kloof?
The practice is in Amorosa, Roodepoort, at Unit 2 Amorosa Office Park, near Clearwater Mall. From Constantia Kloof, travel towards Clearwater Mall and continue to Amorosa; the journey is roughly 5 km, depending on your starting point and route. Check current traffic and directions before setting out, particularly if pain or swelling is affecting your concentration.
Being close by can make an urgent visit more convenient and reduce travel across Johannesburg. You will see Dr le Roux for a personalised assessment and care plan. Contact the practice before travelling so the team can discuss your symptoms and appointment availability. Treatment hours are Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 17:00.
What happens during an emergency dental appointment?
Dr le Roux will ask about your symptoms, when they began, any injury and relevant health information. She will examine the affected area and may recommend imaging to understand the problem. This helps identify whether the issue involves a tooth, its supporting tissues or another cause. We assess this in person before recommending a course of care.
Depending on the findings, the appointment may focus on relieving the immediate problem, protecting a damaged tooth or planning further treatment. The options, risks and aftercare will be explained so you can make an informed decision. If the problem needs follow-up, Dr le Roux can discuss the next steps with you and coordinate care from assessment through treatment planning.
Can a crown or veneer be completed in one visit?
Many suitable crowns and veneers can be 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, and the design and suitability of a restoration are assessed for your individual needs. This can mean less time away from work and fewer trips to the practice than a process involving repeated visits.
Same-day treatment depends on the tooth, the restoration required and clinical findings. It may not be appropriate when a tooth needs other care first or when the case requires a different approach. Dr le Roux will explain the options after examining you; we assess this in person before deciding whether a single-visit restoration is suitable.
What affects the cost of emergency dental care?
The cost depends on what is causing the problem and what care is clinically suitable. Factors can include the materials used, any laboratory work, the number of teeth involved, the complexity of the treatment and how long a restoration is expected to last. An assessment may identify that the immediate concern and the longer-term repair need different steps.
As a relative guide, a straightforward assessment or repair may sit in the $ tier, a more involved restoration in the $$ tier, and complex care involving additional materials or laboratory work in the $$$ tier. 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 severe toothache?
Contact the practice and explain where the pain is, when it started and whether you have swelling, fever or an injury. Avoid placing aspirin or other medication directly on the tooth or gum. A dentist needs to examine the area to identify the cause and recommend suitable care. If swelling affects breathing or swallowing, seek urgent medical attention at an emergency facility.
Can a knocked-out tooth be saved?
A knocked-out adult tooth needs prompt attention, and the outcome depends on the injury and how quickly it is assessed. Handle the tooth by its crown, not its root, and keep it moist in milk or saliva while travelling to care. Do not scrub it. Contact the practice promptly for guidance; if there are other serious injuries, seek emergency medical care. We assess the tooth in person.
What should I do about a broken tooth?
Contact the practice to describe the break, pain and any sharp edges. Keep the area clean and avoid chewing on that side until it has been assessed. If you can find a broken fragment, bring it with you. The suitable repair depends on how much tooth is affected and whether the nerve or surrounding tissues are involved, so Dr le Roux will assess this in person.
Does a dental abscess need urgent attention?
A suspected abscess, particularly with swelling, worsening pain or a bad taste, needs prompt dental assessment. Do not try to drain it yourself or rely on pain relief to address the cause. Contact the practice and explain your symptoms. Swelling that affects breathing or swallowing, or makes you feel seriously unwell, needs urgent medical attention at an emergency facility.
Can I get a crown in one visit?
Many suitable crowns can be made in a single visit using CEREC CAD/CAM and digital scanning. Whether this is appropriate depends on the tooth, the condition being treated and the restoration required. Some teeth need other care first or a different approach. Dr le Roux will examine the tooth and explain the options; we assess this in person before planning treatment.
How much does emergency dental treatment cost?

A straightforward repair may fall in the $ tier, while more involved or complex treatment may fall in the $$ or $$$ tiers. These are relative categories, not a quote.
