What is a Dental Emergency?

A dental emergency is extremely distressing. Unfortunately, most adults will experience a dental emergency at some point in their lifetime.

At Levitas Dental Clinic, we class a dental emergency as anything that causes you extreme pain or which causes bleeding to your teeth or gums.

We offer emergency dental appointments in both our Guildford and Mayfair, London clinics. We treat patients throughout Farnborough, East Horsely, Farnham and throughout Surrey and London.

These are common dental emergencies we can help you with:

  • Trauma resulting in a chipped tooth
  • A persistent toothache
  • A lost crown or filling that causes you pain
  • An abscess or painful swelling
  • Trauma resulting in a knocked-out tooth

If you have a dental emergency, please call us as soon as possible to make an appointment

What should I do in a dental emergency?

It is best to contact us as soon as possible in order to book an appointment for your dental emergency. In the meantime you can follow this advice for the most common dental emergencies:

A chipped tooth

If you suffer a severe chip or fracture to your tooth, then you may need an emergency filling or crown. Take paracetamol for any pain you are experiencing and try swilling your mouth in salt water which can help ease the pain too. The emergency dentist should be able to file down any uneven edges and replace missing parts with a tooth-coloured filling.

A knocked-out tooth

This is distressing but try to stay calm as time is critical in being able to save a knocked-out tooth. Be sure to call us as soon as possible. If you can find your knocked-out tooth, keep it safe either in your mouth or in a cup of cold milk to stop it from drying out and bring it with you to see the emergency dentist. Only handle the knocked-out tooth by the crown and not by the tooth root. Take paracetamol for any pain you may have.

Painful swelling

Any swelling around your teeth, gums or face should not be ignored. It could be caused by an infection or a dental abscess which is an infection that leads to a buildup of pus in the tooth, gum or jaw.

You may experience pain, swelling or inflammation in your mouth. Take paracetamol for any pain, stay upright, do not lie flat and drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated.

Emergency Dentist in London – Same-Day Urgent Dental Care FAQ

What is a dental crown?

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth. It restores the tooth’s shape, strength, and appearance while protecting it from further damage. Dental crowns are commonly used after root canal treatment, severe decay, or when a tooth has fractured.

When do I need a tooth crown treatment?

A tooth crown treatment is recommended when a tooth is too damaged for a filling but can still be preserved. Crowns are often used for cracked teeth, large cavities, worn enamel, or after root canal therapy.

How long do dental crowns last?

Dental crowns typically last 10–15 years or longer with good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups. The lifespan depends on the crown material, biting forces, and oral care habits.

What are porcelain dental crowns?

Porcelain dental crowns in London are ceramic restorations designed to replicate the natural colour and translucency of teeth. They are often used for visible front teeth because they provide excellent cosmetic results.

Are same day dental crowns available in London?

Yes. Many modern clinics now offer same day dental crowns in London using digital scanning and CAD/CAM technology. This allows dentists to design and place the crown in a single appointment without needing temporary crowns.

Is a dental crown procedure painful?

Dental crown procedures are generally comfortable. Local anaesthesia is used during the treatment, and most patients experience only mild sensitivity afterwards that resolves within a few days.

How long does a dental crown procedure take?

Traditional crown treatments may require two appointments, while same day dental crowns can often be completed in a single visit using digital technology.

What materials are dental crowns made from?
Dental crowns are typically made from:
• Porcelain
• Zirconia
• Porcelain fused to metal
• Ceramic materials
Modern porcelain and zirconia crowns are widely used because they combine strength with natural aesthetics.
Can a dental crown fix a broken tooth?

Yes. Broken tooth crown treatment is one of the most common reasons for dental crowns. The crown stabilises the tooth structure and protects it from further damage while restoring normal function.

How do I care for a dental crown?
Dental crowns should be cared for just like natural teeth:
• Brush twice daily
• Floss regularly
• Attend routine dental check-ups
• Avoid excessive biting on very hard foods
Good oral hygiene helps crowns last longer.
Can dental crowns look natural?

Yes. Modern ceramic crowns are designed to match the shape, colour, and translucency of natural teeth, making them virtually indistinguishable from surrounding teeth.

What is the difference between a crown and a filling?

A filling repairs a small damaged area of a tooth, while a crown covers the entire visible portion of the tooth. Crowns are used when the tooth requires more structural support than a filling can provide.

Are dental crowns suitable after root canal treatment?

Yes. Teeth that have undergone root canal therapy often become weaker. A dental crown protects the tooth and restores its strength so it can function normally.

How do dentists prepare a tooth for a crown?

The dentist reshapes the damaged tooth slightly to create space for the crown. A digital scan or impression is then taken so the crown can be custom designed for a precise fit.

Can dental crowns stain?

Porcelain and zirconia crowns are highly resistant to staining. However, maintaining good oral hygiene and avoiding excessive staining foods can help maintain their appearance.

Are private dental crowns in London better quality?

Private dental crowns in London often use advanced materials and digital technology, which can provide improved aesthetics, precision, and durability.

Can a crown fall off?

It is uncommon, but crowns can occasionally loosen if the underlying tooth structure changes or if the cement weakens. If this happens, a dentist can usually reattach or replace the crown.

Are crowns better than veneers?

Crowns and veneers serve different purposes. Veneers are thin cosmetic coverings applied to the front of teeth, while crowns fully cover the tooth and provide structural support.

Can dental crowns improve my smile?

Yes. Dental crowns can dramatically improve the appearance of damaged, worn, or discoloured teeth, restoring a more balanced and natural smile.

Where can I get dental crowns in London or Surrey?

Dental crown treatment is available at Levitas flagship clinics in Mayfair (London) and Guildford (Surrey), serving patients across areas including Knightsbridge, Chelsea, Kensington, Marylebone, Belgravia, and surrounding Surrey locations.

What Our Patients Say…

I wouldnt trust anyone else with my dental or health care! Khaled is always so attentive, helpful and provides amazing work everytime 🙂
We had a great experience. My son had a broken molar and was absolutely terrified about going to the dentist, but both the dentist and the nurse were incredibly kind and patient. They explained everything gently, made him feel safe. Overall, a really positive experience and we’re very grateful for their care and would highly recommend this practice.
Great dentist. Amazing with my nervous 7 year old who actually enjoyed her first ever clean!
Very friendly and well organised dental practice in Guildford. I came in for an airflow hygiene appointment my teeth are looking like glass! All the staff member are very helpful and super smooth process. Khaled explained everything in such detail- thanks!
Had my hygiene appointment with the Airflow system and I’m so impressed. All the stains on my teeth were removed, and they feel incredibly smooth and clean now. The treatment was quick, gentle, and actually relaxing. The Guildford clinic is spotless and everyone there is lovely. Definitely the best clean I’ve ever had.
Exceptional care and professionalism at Levitas Dental Clinic I couldn’t be more impressed with the outstanding care I’ve received from Dr. Khaled and the entire team at Levitas Dental Clinic. From the moment I walked in, everyone was incredibly welcoming, attentive, and professional. Dr. Khaled truly goes above and beyond to ensure everything is of the highest standard. His calm, reassuring approach has completely changed the way I feel about visiting the dentist — something I never thought possible. I’ve always been anxious about dental appointments, but Dr. Khaled’s professionalism, patience, and clear communication helped me overcome my fears. The quality of care and attention to detail are exceptional, and I can already see a significant improvement in my oral health. Every visit feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I am deeply grateful for the excellent service and the positive experience I’ve had. I can only say great things about Dr. Khaled and the whole Levitas Dental team — they set the bar for what true dental care should be.
Levitas Dental Clinic offers exceptional care with a focus on patient comfort. The staff are knowledgeable, and the clinic is equipped with modern technology, that make going to the dentist an even better experience. The welcoming atmosphere from the staff is what sets off this dental practice, they have been so accommodating and kind through all my dental treatments. I would highly recommend and have done so to family and friends. It really is such a wonderful dental practice.
Hadn’t been to the dentist for a while so I booked here. The check up was really detailed, they showed me photos of my teeth on the screen which was actually quite interesting. The hygienist used some new method that didn’t hurt and my teeth felt really clean afterwards. I also asked about veneers, the dentist gave me options and advice without trying to push me into it. It felt like they genuinely cared rather than just selling a treatment
I went to Levitas Guildford for a hygiene and some bonding on my front tooth. SJ on reception was lovely, she explained everything in a calm way and sorted me out quickly. Dr Khaled was so gentle and made me feel relaxed, I honestly expected it to be more uncomfortable. The airflow was much better than anything I’ve had before and the bonding is invisible, you can’t even tell which bit was done. Left feeling like I had new teeth
I saw Idalina for a hygiene appointment. She was excellent, gentle kind and very informative. I would recommend to all.
lovely dentists everyone is so friendly
I discovered levitas dental clinic in guildford and incredibly talented Dr Khaled through a friend and very grateful ever since! They gave me a complete makeover I feel beautiful in a Way I never felt before.. You Changed my life.
Khaled and his team are very friendly and professional. I had complicated root canal treatment and he did an excellent job with much care and attention. thank you !
Dr Khaled did my whitening at Levitas Guildford and I’m really happy with the results. He took the time to explain the process and made sure I was comfortable throughout. My teeth look so much brighter already. Great experience overall.
Went to Levitas in Guildford for a check-up after not seeing a dentist for way too long. Honestly expected a lecture but they were super chill about it. The dentist was really friendly, explained what I need to keep an eye on without making me feel bad. Place looks nice too, not clinical or scary. Feels like I’ve finally found a dentist I don’t dread going to.
I had been putting off replacing a missing tooth for years. Eating on one side was becoming a pain so I finally went to Levitas dental clinic in Guildford for an implant. The process took a few months from start to finish but now it feels like the tooth was never missing. Best decision I have made for my teeth in years.
I booked an Airflow clean here after a friend recommended it. My teeth have never felt this clean. I also had a little bonding done on my front tooth where I had a small chip. I did not realise how much it bothered me until I saw the before and after photos. It is subtle but makes a big difference when I smile.
Had a great experience at Levitas Dental Clinic in Guildford. Idalina, the hygienist, was professional, gentle, and thorough—she made the whole appointment really comfortable. The clinic is modern and welcoming, and the staff are friendly. Highly recommend!
I went to Levitas Dental Clinic in Guildford for a smile makeover, and honestly, I’m so glad I did. I had some minor bonding and whitening done — nothing over the top — but the difference is amazing. The results are really natural and subtle, just what I was after. The team made the whole experience feel personal and relaxed. If you're after aesthetic dental treatments in Guildford without the pressure or salesy vibe, this is the place.
So gentle and so thorough. Idalina is the best hygienist I have ever seen in my life. I can’t believe I didn’t come here sooner. Worth every penny
All staff at Levitas are absolutely lovely and Dr Khaled is a great dentist. I really enjoy my visits so I’ll definitely keep on coming back!
I’ve had composite bonding done before, but the attention to detail at Levitas Dental Guildford was on another level. The dentist took time to make sure the colour and shape suited my natural smile — and the results are amazing. I finally feel confident smiling again. The clinic is beautifully designed too, which really adds to the experience. Best cosmetic dentistry I’ve had in Surrey.
I chipped a back tooth and booked in thinking I’d need something major like a crown. Turns out they could fix it on the spot with a composite filling and it looks completely natural. Honestly can’t tell which tooth it was anymore. Khaled was really calm and explained everything without making me feel silly. 100% recommend them if you’re after honest, no-fuss care.
What impressed me most about Levitas Dental Guildford is their regenerative and preventive focus. I came in for a routine hygiene appointment and ended up learning so much about gum health, bone support, and long-term oral wellness. They use advanced technologies like Guided Biofilm Therapy and it honestly felt like a spa for my mouth! If you're looking for a forward-thinking dental clinic in Guildford, this is it.
You get what you pay for in Guildford. This clinic is a bit pricier than others in town but Dr Khaled is a great dentist - he’s very passionate about his work and I was very happy with the results of my hygiene clean. The equipment is also new and modern - some other places don’t have the same air flow machines so the results aren’t the same. Will be back for whitening treatment :)))
