From Radiokop, drive towards Hendrik Potgieter Road and follow local directions to Amorosa Office Park; the journey is a short drive, with the exact distance depending on your starting point and route.

What happens during an urgent dental appointment?
Dr Chalita le Roux will ask about your symptoms and dental history, examine the affected area and, where appropriate, use diagnostic imaging to understand the problem. The assessment helps distinguish issues such as decay, a cracked tooth, infection or a damaged restoration. A diagnosis and treatment recommendation require an in-person examination.
The dentist will explain the findings, suitable options, likely benefits and relevant risks before treatment is considered. Depending on the problem, the immediate priority may be to relieve symptoms, protect a tooth or plan further care. If treatment is not appropriate at that visit, you will be advised about the next steps and how to care for the area meanwhile.
Can a crown or veneer be completed in one visit?
The practice uses digital scanning and CEREC CAD/CAM technology to design and make certain restorations. For many suitable crowns or veneers, this same-day digital workflow can allow treatment to be completed in a single visit, reducing the need for repeated trips and time away from work or home.
A single-visit restoration is not suitable for every tooth or every clinical situation. The choice depends on the tooth’s condition, the restoration required and the dentist’s assessment. Dr le Roux will explain whether this approach is appropriate for you after examining the tooth; we assess this in person rather than deciding from symptoms or photographs alone.
How much does urgent dental treatment cost?
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 treatment. A straightforward assessment or repair may sit at a lower relative tier ($), while more involved restorative work may fall into a moderate ($$) or higher ($$$) tier; these symbols indicate relative tiers, not quoted prices.
Dr Chalita le Roux will discuss suitable options and the factors affecting their cost after assessing your needs. An exact, personalised estimate is given after the consultation, in writing, before any treatment starts.
How can I prepare and care for my teeth after an urgent visit?
When you contact the practice, explain your symptoms clearly and mention any relevant medical conditions, medicines or allergies. If a tooth has broken, keep any fragment and bring it with you if practical. Avoid chewing on a painful or damaged tooth, and do not place aspirin or other medication directly against the gum, as this can irritate tissue.
After assessment or treatment, follow the dentist’s instructions about eating, cleaning the area and taking any recommended medication. Some procedures can cause temporary tenderness or sensitivity; contact the practice if symptoms worsen or you are concerned. For severe facial swelling, difficulty breathing or difficulty swallowing, seek emergency medical care immediately.
