When is Essex Family Dental open for urgent dental care?

Not all dental treatments can be planned for so, when emergencies happen, our dentists are here to help you. Not only do we offer urgent same day appointments from 10am-5.30pm during the week, we’re also open over the weekend. We’re open from 10am-9.30pm every Saturday and Sunday to ensure you receive the treatment you need as quickly as possible. We’re one of the only clinics open on a Sunday in the Havering, Barking and Dagenham area, so instead of waiting in pain for an appointment on Monday and taking time away from your busy work week, let us deal with the problem right away for you.

What emergency dental issues can be treated?

Whether you’re in sudden pain from toothache or you need to see a dentist urgently because your dental crown has fallen out right before a big event, don’t worry - we’re here to help you. We’ll first do everything possible to get you out of pain during your emergency care appointment, after which your dentist will advise you of any additional treatment you may need. In many circumstances your dentist will be able to complete your emergency care on the same day. Tooth pain can be debilitating, so we’d like to help you feel better and carry on with your day as soon as we can.

The treatment I received was life-changing. The doctors took the time to explain everything and answered all my questions. I felt valued as a patient, and the results exceeded my expectations.

Bright and clean practice with warm friendly staff. Highly recommended that you become a patient here if you're looking for a practice to take care of your dental needs whether NHS or private.

Having been a patient for a decade+ it's refreshing to know that when I had a problem it was addressed by the hospitable general manager himself (Mr. S Morgan) and a follow up was conducted during my next visit. This was a kind gesture. The receptionists are friendly and welcoming. Dr Ganesalingam is a respectful dentist who answers questions thoroughly and gives compassionate advice 🌟

I would like to say that when I heard my regular dentist was leaving the practice back in January of this year I was quite concerned but having seen Amrit Kasbia on 2 occasions now, my fears have totally been put to bed. I would in fact go as far to say he is even better than my previous dentist. I would highly recommend him.

I attended for an extraction by sedation, referred by my dentist. Everyone was so professional and I felt very reassured immediately. Special thanks go to the dentist and anaesthetist who were so calm and friendly. I remember nothing of the procedure (thankfully!). Thank you, I am truly grateful to you for relieving my worries.

Everyone I dealt with today was so friendly and professional. Vinusha, my dentist, has a lovely manner and made me feel comfortable. I have been with this practice for years; it is a five-star dental practice!

I had my first ever hygienist appointment with airflow. I was quite nervous but was quickly reassured by the lady that performed the procedure (sorry i cant remember her name). Really happy with the results. My teeth look so much cleaner and healthier. The staff were really friendly. I also had a consultation for inviserline. They took a quick scan of my teeth so I have a idea of how they compare to the Finnished result.

I first went here for an emergency last year and as a very nervous patient, I saw a lovely dentist who put me at ease. I've recently been able to join the dentist now and saw the same dentist, which put me at ease straight away.

Frequently asked questions about emergency appointments

I am not registered with a dentist; can I still get an appointment?

You don’t have to be a current patient with us in order to come in for a private emergency appointment. You can call up or book online to be seen on the day, even if you’ve never come to one of our practices before.

How can I avoid dental emergencies in the future?

The best way to protect yourself from dental emergencies is with good habits. Regular check-ups with your dentist are vital to prevent dental emergencies, as they give your dentist the opportunity to identify any potential issues early on before they become urgent. You also need to stick to your oral care routine at home; brush your teeth twice a day and floss once a day to maintain your oral health and give yourself the best chance at avoiding issues with your teeth and gums.
