Emergency dentist appointments available

Dental accidents and sudden pain need attention quickly, not just to ease discomfort but to prevent long-term damage.

We offer emergency appointments for existing patients. If you're registered with us and need an emergency dentist in Wakefield, call our reception team during opening hours and we'll do our best to see you as soon as possible.

Outside opening hours, private patients can call our 24/7 Dental Emergency Line, while NHS patients should call 111.

The cost of emergency dental treatment depends on what your emergency is. A simple extraction will cost less than repairing a tooth that’s broken below the gumline, for example.

At your appointment, we'll examine the problem, explain your options in plain English and give you a clear quote before we start any work.

If you have a membership plan with us, you’ll receive discounts on any other treatment costs, including emergency care. You’ll also gain access to our out-of-hours line, and the Global Dental Scheme.

If you have severe or ongoing pain, visible swelling, bleeding that won't stop, or an injury to a tooth or your mouth, contact us straight away.

Even smaller problems, like a small chip or a lost filling, can get worse if you leave them.

If a tooth has been knocked out, time matters: try to put it back in the socket or keep it in milk, and call us as soon as possible.

When in doubt, it's always better to speak to our team than to wait.

Outwood Dental Care has been looking after families across Wakefield, Leeds, Normanton, Ossett and the surrounding areas since 1986.

Our team includes Christine Gratton, our former principal, who still practises here, and Waqar Mustafa, our implant and surgical dentist, who completed Dental Core Training in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.

With 7,685 active patients, many of whom have been with us for decades, you're in safe hands when you need us most.
