When you need help fast

When urgent dental pain strikes, you need help fast—from a trusted walk-in dentist, after-hours dentist near me, or even dental ER. At DentalOne, we’re here to provide emergency dental care and after-hours dental care when you need it most.

We set aside time every day for urgent dental emergencies—whether it’s a severe toothache, swelling, bleeding, a knocked-out tooth, or even urgent dental bridge repair. If you’re searching for a dentist open late near me, you’ve come to the right place.

Seek Emergency Dental Care Immediately if You Experience:

Broken, Chipped & Cracked Tooth – even small fractures can worsen quickly, leading to pain, infection, or tooth loss if untreated.

Severe Toothache – persistent or intense pain may signal infection or damage.
Swelling – gums, face, or jaw swelling can indicate abscess or infection.
Bleeding – uncontrolled gum bleeding after injury or dental work.
Trauma – broken, cracked, or knocked-out teeth need urgent attention.
Loose or Lost Filling/Crown – exposes your tooth to further damage and infection.
Painful Wisdom Teeth – impacted or infected wisdom teeth causing discomfort.
Abscess – serious infection with swelling, fever, or severe pain that requires immediate treatment.

Your oral health is precious. When it’s urgent, choose the most effective path—DentalOne emergency dentists deliver fast, professional, and compassionate care when it matters most.

For Urgent Dental Care

Royal Dental Hospital
03 9341 1000 or call 000 for all out of hours emergencies

In an emergency you should call 000 or the Royal Dental Hospital. Most dental pain can be handled by our team but if the pain becomes unbearable you may need to seek urgent attention.
Remember to always consider whether the emergency is urgent or not and then contact the appropriate professional to help you. Local dentist, Royal Dental Hospital or emergency room, 30 minutes could be the difference! DentalOne aims to prioritise all dental emergencies.

Evening and Weekend Emergency Care

Dental emergencies don’t always happen during business hours, and we understand how stressful it can be when urgent care is needed late at night or on the weekend.

At DentalOne, our clinics offer extended availability for urgent cases wherever possible. If you experience a dental emergency after hours, please:

Call our main emergency line 1300 066 427 (13 000 NO GAP) – your call will be directed to our team to help assess your situation.
After hours and open Saturdays – we are open during the week until 7pm and from 8am until 6pm on a Saturday. We can take calls and appointments can be made for the next day. If you reach us or if the matter is urgent after these hours, we advise you to go to the Royal Dental Hospital.
Sunday or late evenings – if immediate treatment is required and our clinics are closed, we recommend attending the Royal Dental Hospital of Melbourne or calling 000 in life-threatening situations.

We aim to see all urgent cases first thing the following morning when clinics reopen, ensuring you receive priority care. This way, you have peace of mind knowing exactly where to turn, no matter what time a dental emergency strikes.

Yes, often it can — but only if you act quickly. The best chance to save a tooth is within 30–60 minutes of the injury. Call us immediately on 13 000 NO GAP (1300 066 427) and follow first-aid steps until you arrive.

Most dental emergencies — such as broken teeth, lost fillings, chipped crowns, or sudden tooth pain all can be treated by a dentist, not in hospital. You should only go to the hospital if you’ve suffered serious trauma (e.g. broken jaw, heavy bleeding, facial swelling affecting breathing).
