What happens at your urgent dentist appointment
You’ll follow a simple, structured four‑step process so you know exactly what to expect at Thames Dental & Skin.
Focused assessment
We listen to your symptoms and medical history, then examine the affected teeth, gums and surrounding areas so we understand what is happening and how urgently it needs attention.
On‑the‑spot diagnostics
Where needed, we take digital X‑rays or photographs to see the root cause clearly and decide whether you may need treatments such as a filling, root canal or extraction at a separate appointment.
Same‑day relief where possible
Your dentist may provide immediate temporary care where appropriate – for example a temporary filling, smoothing a sharp edge, re‑cementing a crown, draining an abscess or prescribing suitable medication.
Clear plan for next steps
Before you leave, we explain your diagnosis in plain language, outline treatment options and provide a written plan with transparent fees so you can book any follow‑up visits with confidence.
This appointment is designed to assess and stabilise your dental emergency; more complex treatments such as full root canal therapy or extractions are usually booked as separate visits.
