Emergency Dentist in Leeds

The £100 deposit secures the on-call team for your evening or weekend slot. £50 is your clinic entry and assessment fee; the remaining £50 stays as a credit on your account toward any prescriptions, x-rays or stabilising treatment on the night. If none are needed, that £50 credit carries over to future routine care.

Out-of-hours emergency slots run Monday to Friday 5:00pm–10:00pm and Saturday to Sunday 10:00am–10:00pm. Call our triage team and we will secure the earliest available appointment.

For severe, life-threatening trauma — such as heavy uncontrollable bleeding, difficulty breathing or rapidly spreading facial swelling — please go directly to your nearest A&E rather than waiting for a dental appointment.

Your fixed, flat £100 daytime emergency visit covers a full clinical assessment, up to two small digital x-rays and any necessary prescriptions. Any stabilising or definitive treatment is clearly quoted before we proceed — no surprises.

In-hours emergency appointments run Monday to Friday, 9:00am–5:00pm. Booking in daytime hours is the most cost-effective way to be seen, as it avoids the out-of-hours surcharge.

Yes. We keep dedicated urgent slots open every day so you are not left waiting in pain. Call our triage team as early as possible on 0113 245 9004 to secure the earliest appointment.

Persistent, throbbing pain is usually a sign the nerve inside the tooth is inflamed or infected — often from decay, a crack or a failing filling. This rarely settles by itself and typically needs professional treatment to resolve the source.

Lying down increases blood flow to the head, which raises pressure around an inflamed nerve and makes pain feel worse. Over-the-counter pain relief taken as directed can help until you are seen — but it treats the symptom, not the cause.

In daytime hours you get the full Clarendon experience: an award-winning team and a calm, premium clinical setting, so it's done properly, not patched. We focus first on getting you comfortable and out of pain.

An abscess is a pocket of infection caused by bacteria, usually from an untreated cavity, a cracked tooth or gum disease. It often causes a persistent throbbing pain, a bad taste, and swelling in the gum, face or jaw.

We assess you urgently, take a digital x-ray to find the source, and relieve the pressure by draining the infection where possible. Antibiotics are prescribed when clinically appropriate, and we plan definitive treatment such as root canal or extraction.

If you have rapidly spreading swelling, swelling affecting your eye or throat, or difficulty breathing or swallowing, do not wait — go straight to your nearest A&E, as these can be signs of a serious spreading infection.

Sometimes, yes — but time is critical. Handle the tooth by the crown, not the root. If it's clean, gently place it back in the socket; otherwise keep it in milk or saliva and call us immediately. The sooner you're seen, the better the chance of saving it.

Keep any fragments, rinse gently with warm water, and cover a sharp edge with dental wax if you have it. Avoid chewing on that side and call us for a same-day repair appointment.

Because this is also a cosmetic result you'll live with, you're choosing experts: Practice of the Year, skilled in cosmetic repair, working in a premium private setting — so the finish looks natural, not obvious.

It can be. An exposed tooth is often sensitive to hot, cold and pressure, and is vulnerable to further damage or infection. Even without pain, it's best seen promptly to protect the tooth.

Keep the crown or bridge if you still have it — it can often be re-cemented. Avoid chewing on that side, keep the area clean, and don't attempt to glue it back with household adhesives.

Our expert dentists make sure the repair is durable and natural-looking — the quality you'd expect from an award-winning private clinic.

In an emergency, our priority is relief. We open the tooth to release the pressure from the infected nerve, which usually settles the pain quickly, and stabilise it before planning the full treatment.

Root canal treatment removes the infected nerve, disinfects the canals and seals the tooth so you can keep your natural tooth rather than lose it. It's a predictable, well-established way to save a badly infected tooth.

We'll explain the full cost and plan clearly before proceeding. Flexible dental finance is available to help spread the cost of follow-up treatment.

When a tooth can't be saved, prompt private extraction relieves pain and prevents infection spreading — without the long NHS waiting lists. For complex surgical cases, see our full oral surgery page.

We provide conscious intravenous (IV) sedation so your emergency procedure is entirely comfortable, pain-free and stress-free. If dental anxiety has been holding you back, ask our team about sedation options.

We keep urgent slots for emergencies every day. Call our triage team as early as possible and we'll arrange the soonest safe appointment for assessment and treatment.

A chipped tooth or damaged edge can often be repaired the same day with composite bonding — natural-looking and usually with no drilling. For more extensive damage, a crown or restoration rebuilds the tooth's strength and appearance, and our wider cosmetic dentistry options can restore a whole smile.

A cracked, broken or uncomfortable denture needs prompt, skilled repair to get you eating and smiling again. See our dentures page for repairs, relines and replacements — and if you'd like a more secure long-term solution, dental implants can anchor a denture firmly in place.

A snapped retainer risks your teeth drifting back, so it's worth sorting quickly. We repair and replace retainers and mouthguards, and if a brace or aligner issue is behind it, our orthodontics and Invisalign teams can help.

We see children urgently for knocked-out, broken or displaced teeth and other dental trauma, with a calm, gentle, child-friendly approach. For a knocked-out baby tooth, do not try to reinsert it; for a knocked-out adult tooth, keep it in milk and call us immediately. Explore our specialist-led children's dentistry service, with a dedicated paediatric area and no NHS waiting list.

Dental anxiety should never stop you getting out of pain. We offer calm, judgement-free care and, where helpful, inhalation or IV sedation so treatment feels relaxed and comfortable. Learn more about our sedation options for nervous and phobic patients.

For an impacted or painful wisdom tooth, a broken-down tooth or a difficult root, our skilled clinicians perform safe surgical extractions without the long NHS wait. See our full oral surgery page for wisdom teeth and surgical procedures.

Book a same-day emergency appointment if you have:

• Severe or throbbing toothache that won't settle
• A knocked-out, broken or loose tooth
• A lost crown, bridge or filling
• A dental abscess or swelling in the gum, face or jaw
• Bleeding that won't stop after an extraction
• Pain that's keeping you awake

Go to your nearest A&E or call 999 if you have:

• Rapidly spreading facial swelling
• Swelling affecting your eye or throat
• Difficulty breathing or swallowing
• Heavy bleeding you can't control

These are medical emergencies that need a hospital, not a dental clinic.

• Knocked-out adult tooth: handle it by the crown, not the root. If clean, gently place it back in the socket; if not, keep it in milk or saliva and call us immediately — a tooth seen quickly can sometimes be saved.
• Toothache: take over-the-counter pain relief as directed and avoid very hot, cold or sugary food. Pain often feels worse at night when you lie down.
• Broken or chipped tooth: keep any fragments, rinse with warm water, and cover a sharp edge with dental wax if you have it.
• Bleeding: bite firmly on clean gauze for 15–20 minutes.
