Emergency dental treatments we offer
Root Canal Treatment
If decay or injury reaches the inner pulp of your tooth, a root canal may be needed to relieve pain and save the tooth. This procedure removes the infected tissue and protects the tooth from future issues, often providing instant relief from pain.
Tooth Extractions
If a tooth can’t be saved, a gentle extraction may be the most effective way forward. Our dentists ensure the process is as comfortable as possible and will discuss your options for replacing the tooth if needed.
Other Urgent Treatments
Our clinicians can also perform temporary restorations, reattach broken teeth, treat minor injuries, and stabilise trauma until further care is arranged.
Technology that supports emergency care
When time matters, precision is everything. That’s why our clinic is equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic tools, including digital x-rays and 3D scanning. These technologies help us quickly identify the cause of pain and plan the most effective treatment.
We also use modern anaesthetics and minimally invasive techniques to make your experience more comfortable, even in urgent situations.
Ongoing care beyond the emergency
Emergency dental care is just the beginning. After your immediate concern is treated, we’ll work with you to develop a personalised treatment plan to restore your oral health and prevent future problems.
Our goal is always long-term stability, comfort, and confidence. That might mean follow-up restorations, preventive care or ongoing support for anxiety around treatment.
What to do in a dental emergency
While you’re on your way to the clinic, these simple steps may help manage discomfort or protect your tooth:
- Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling
- Rinse your mouth with salt water
- Use over-the-counter pain relief as directed
- For a knocked-out tooth, keep it moist (in milk or under your tongue) and seek help fast
- Avoid chewing on the affected area
If you’re in doubt, call us. Our friendly team will advise on what to do next.

Restorative Dental Care
Are you wondering why your teeth are chipping and breaking more often in recent years? Whether you have a chipped tooth, cavity, discoloured or missing teeth, our restorative dentistry will revitalise your smile in no time.
At Gisborne Family Dental, we tailor our restorative dental care and advice to your unique situation and needs. We use thorough examination and interviewing to predict any risks to your teeth, and provide all the information so that you can make an informed decision.
Many new patients come to us with missing or damaged teeth, and may have lost the ability they once had to eat, speak and smile comfortably. We work with you to come up with a plan of action to restore your smile not just cosmetically, but functionally as well.
Your oral health is integral to your quality of life, and we want you to enjoy your smile for a lifetime. Our restorative dentistry services use advanced materials backed by years of scientific research coupled with predictable and evidence-based methods to ensure an excellent outcome in any procedure we perform.
