Emergency dental care reviews from our Bristol patients
Patient experiences of urgent appointments, reassurance and clear explanations at Lodge Causeway Dental Centre in Fishponds.
I’ve had to book two emergency dental appointments recently, and they’ve got me in the same day for an appointment. I was seen yesterday by Brian Kwok who was extremely helpful, kind, and seemed to genuinely care about the discomfort I was in. I would recommend Brian and Lodge Causeway to anyone. Thank you.
clean clinic, friendly team. Around one month waiting for regular check up but same day emergency slots released when needed. Joined as private then switched to NHS with my family when they had available NHS places.
Entered as an NHS emergency patient, was made to feel at ease and different options explained well with pricing and no hidden costs. Have registered with them as a regular patient.

For serious symptoms
Difficulty breathing or swallowing, severe swelling affecting an eye, uncontrolled heavy bleeding or serious facial injury? Call 999 or go to A&E. Do not wait for a dental appointment.
What counts as a dental emergency?
Seek prompt dental advice for severe or persistent toothache, swelling, dental injuries, a knocked-out adult tooth or a broken filling or crown causing pain. Call our team to discuss your symptoms. A knocked-out adult tooth needs immediate dental attention.

Do I need to be an existing patient?
No. New patients can request private emergency appointments, subject to availability. NHS emergency appointments depend on current capacity; please call to check which options are available to you.

The total depends on the assessment and treatment needed. Ask our team to confirm the emergency assessment fee when booking. Your dentist explains any X-ray or treatment charges before you decide to proceed. View our current dental fee guide.

Not always. Your first visit focuses on assessment and appropriate urgent care. You may need further treatment, such as a permanent restoration or completion of root canal care. Your dentist explains any follow-up appointments and costs.
