Your same-day emergency dentist visit

We are proud to see that 95% of our patients receive urgent dental care on the same day they need it most.

Once diagnosed, we then administer immediate pain relief and treatment on the same day whenever possible. If treatment cannot be completed due to an infection, schedule follow-up appointments for comprehensive care.

Other dental emergencies we can treat today

As a multi-faced dental practice with several dentists with special interests in many areas of dentistry, we’re able to solve a wider range of dental emergencies, even if they feel more cosmetic in nature. They include:

  • A broken or chipped tooth: We provide same-day treatments, including composite bonding, fillings, and crowns, to repair chipped or broken teeth and prevent further damage.
  • Lost fillings or crowns: We can repair or replace lost fillings and crowns to protect your exposed tooth and restore its function on the same day as your initial visit.
  • Lost veneer: We’ll assess the tooth, provide a natural-looking temporary cover if needed, and talk you through replacing the veneer to restore appearance and comfort.
  • Implant crown/bridge has come off: We can usually refit or re-cement it (if it’s intact) and check the bite, the screw/abutment and the implant health to prevent it happening again.
  • Implant screw feels loose: We’ll tighten or replace the screw safely and make sure the implant and surrounding gum are stable.
  • Invisalign attachment off (front teeth): We’ll check your aligners still fit properly and replace the attachment if needed so your treatment stays on track and looks consistent.
  • Braces wire or bracket showing (visible area): We can trim, reposition, or secure the wire/bracket to stop irritation and get your smile looking and feeling comfortable again.
  • Wisdom tooth issues: We assess and address wisdom tooth pain or infection and offer same-day extractions when possible.

Being this my first time w/ Quest Dental Care Ipswich for a dental cleaning, I was feeling nervous and slightly anxious regarding pain and discomfort, but the staff made me feel at ease and through the session I was always waiting for the moment that would raise my hand which never happened. Thank you 😊

My mother went for a tooth extraction today. She is very scared of all needles and was nervous about the experience. The Dentist was excellent and very kind about explaining the procedure.

I had a root canal treatment with Dr. Sanjay, assisted by Firdous, and the experience was excellent. Both of them were very nice and friendly throughout the appointment. They took the time to clearly explain each step of the procedure and made sure I understood everything before continuing. I was quite nervous beforehand, but their calm and reassuring approach really helped me feel more comfortable and relaxed. They were very patient and attentive, which made the whole experience much easier than I expected.
