When To See an Emergency Dentist in Riverhills
It is not always obvious what counts as an emergency. As a rule, call us if you are dealing with any of these:
Severe or persistent toothache that does not respond to pain relief
Facial swelling, especially around the jaw, cheek or eye
Broken, cracked or chipped teeth, particularly if they are painful or sharp
Knocked-out teeth, (avulsed teeth) following a fall or sports injury
Dental abscess or infection (often with throbbing pain or a bad taste)
Lost fillings or crowns, especially if the tooth is sensitive or painful
Trauma to the mouth, lips or soft tissues
When in doubt, pick up the phone. We would rather talk it through and put your mind at ease than have you sit at home worrying or in pain. We will guide you on the best next step.

How Your Emergency Visit Works in Riverhills
When you come in, we settle the pain first and ask questions later. Once you are comfortable we examine the area, take any images we need, and walk you through exactly what is happening. You will get clear options and honest pricing, and nothing goes ahead until you say so. In most cases we can carry out the treatment the same day.
Fees, health funds & payment options
We are a private billing practice, and we will always talk through the cost with you before any treatment starts. No surprises, no pressure, just a clear picture of what is involved so you can make the call that suits you.
The type of problem
Any diagnostic tests required (e.g. X-rays)
Whether treatment can be completed at the same appointment
For patients with private cover, we provide the item numbers you need to make a claim, and we are open to discussing payment options so care stays within reach. Ask us and we will point you in the right direction.
