Urgent care
Four slots held back every weekday across the two clinics, and a duty dentist on Saturday mornings. Ring before 10am and we will almost always see you the same day. You do not need to be registered with us.
Same day: swelling of the face or under the jaw, pain that has stopped you sleeping, a tooth knocked out, uncontrolled bleeding after an extraction, or a broken front tooth. Facial swelling that is spreading toward the eye or affecting your breathing or swallowing is A&E, not us.
Knocked-out adult tooth: pick it up by the crown, not the root. Rinse it in milk if it is dirty, put it back in the socket and bite gently on a handkerchief. If you cannot, keep it in milk and ring immediately. The first thirty minutes decide whether it survives.
Within a few days: a lost crown or filling that is not painful, a broken denture, an aching tooth that settles with painkillers. Take ibuprofen and paracetamol together at the correct doses rather than doubling either — that combination is considerably more effective than either alone.
No. Emergency appointments are open to anyone, and there is no obligation to register afterwards. We will write to your own dentist with what we did so your notes stay in one place.
The appointment, the examination, any x-rays needed, and treatment to get you out of pain — usually opening and dressing a tooth, a temporary filling, or an extraction. Definitive treatment such as a crown or root canal is quoted separately.
We are not a 24-hour service. Outside our hours, ring NHS 111, who will direct you to the out-of-hours urgent dental service for North Yorkshire.
General dentistry
We would rather not, and we will tell you when a tooth can be saved and roughly what that would cost. When it genuinely cannot be, the appointment is straightforward — and we will have agreed what fills the gap before the tooth comes out.
ExploreRoot canal treatment
Reopening a root canal that has failed — removing the old filling material, finding the canal that was missed, and starting again. Dr Tomasz Bielski does this under a surgical microscope at up to 25×.
ExploreGeneral dentistry
Around one new patient a week here starts with a consultation-only appointment: a conversation in a normal room, no chair, no instruments, nothing done. Say so when you book and that is what you will get.
