Prompt, compassionate care for urgent dental needs

Dental emergencies can be painful, stressful, and often unpredictable. At Gisborne Family Dental, we’re here to provide prompt, compassionate emergency dental care when you need it most.

Whether you’re experiencing a sudden toothache, a knocked-out tooth, or swelling and infection, our experienced team will assess your needs quickly and provide safe, controlled treatment to relieve discomfort and stabilise the issue.

Our clinic is equipped with advanced diagnostic technology and modern facilities to ensure your emergency is treated with accuracy and care.

What Is a Dental Emergency?

Dental emergencies may include:

  • Severe or persistent tooth pain
  • Swelling or abscesses
  • Trauma, such as a broken or knocked-out tooth
  • Bleeding that won’t stop
  • Lost fillings, crowns, or broken dental appliances

If you’re unsure whether your concern is urgent, we encourage you to contact our team. We can help you determine whether same-day emergency care is needed.

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.

Toothache or accident? Let’s get you out of pain, fast.

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.
