Why people love Nest Dental

"I've been seeing the team at Nest Dental for the past year and have always felt well looked after. From my initial meeting with the team through to my recent visits, the team took time to explain each step clearly and answered all my questions. As someone who feels nervous about the dentist, I appreciated how patient and professional everyone was."

Emergency Services We Treat

We handle all dental emergencies with urgency and care. Same-day appointments available.

Knocked-Out Tooth

Time is critical when a tooth is knocked out. We provide urgent care to save your tooth if possible. Keep the tooth moist and get to us immediately for the best chance of reimplantation.

Severe Toothache

Intense tooth pain can be debilitating. We'll quickly diagnose the cause - whether it's decay, infection, or damage - and work to relieve your pain as quickly as possible so you can get back to your life.

Broken/Chipped Tooth

Whether from an accident or biting something hard, a broken or chipped tooth needs prompt attention. We'll assess the damage and restore your tooth's function and appearance.

Lost Filling or Crown

A lost filling or crown exposes your tooth to sensitivity and further damage. We offer same-day solutions to protect your tooth and prevent complications.

Dental Abscess/Swelling

An abscess is a serious infection that requires immediate treatment. Swelling, pain, and fever are warning signs. We provide urgent care to drain the infection and relieve your pain.

Wisdom Tooth Pain

Wisdom tooth issues can cause severe pain and swelling. We'll assess whether extraction is needed and provide pain relief to get you comfortable quickly.

questions

Got questions about emergency dental care? Here are answers to the most common concerns.

If a tooth can't be saved

In some situations, saving the tooth isn't the best long-term option. When that happens, the focus shifts to replacing it properly so your bite and appearance aren't affected. Many patients choose dental implants as a more complete solution that restores both function and confidence. You can also explore dental crowns and bridges if more than one tooth is affected. New here? Visit our new patients page or see payment plans for cost details, and book your emergency appointment when you're ready.

When You Visit

We accept all health funds. Simply bring your digital or physical health fund card to your appointment and we'll process your claim on the spot using HICAPS.
