Same-day and emergency dentists in London: FAQs
Can I see a dentist today in London?
Often, yes. 608 London practices are showing bookable appointments in the next 7 days, and the typical wait to the next one is same day. Book online on the practice card, or call the practice for a same-day slot.
What should I do in a dental emergency in London?
Call your own dentist first: most keep urgent slots each day. If you are not registered, or it is evening, the weekend or a bank holiday, call NHS 111 or use 111 online, which can book you into an urgent dental care service. Go to A&E for heavy bleeding that will not stop, swelling affecting your breathing or eyes, or facial injury.
How much is an emergency dentist in London?
Urgent NHS treatment costs £27.90 in England (from 1 April 2026), covering what is needed to stabilise the problem, and is free if you are exempt from NHS charges. Private emergency appointments are priced by each practice and usually exclude any treatment that follows.
Do I need to be registered to see a same-day dentist?
No. There is no formal registration with a dentist in England. You can book a same-day private appointment with any practice that has space, or get urgent NHS care through NHS 111.
