Urgent Care When You Need It Most

Dental emergencies can be frightening and painful, and delaying treatment often makes the problem worse. At our practices in Banstead and Battersea, we prioritise emergency appointments so you can access professional care on the same day. Whether it’s a sudden toothache, infection, or accident, our experienced clinicians provide effective relief and clear guidance on your next steps.

What Counts as a Dental Emergency?

Many patients are unsure whether their situation requires urgent attention. A good rule of thumb is this: if you are in significant pain, bleeding, or at risk of losing a tooth, you should seek emergency dental care.

Common dental emergencies include:

Severe toothache that won’t go away with painkillers.
Swelling of the gums, face, or jaw, which may signal infection.
Knocked-out or loose adult tooth that needs immediate action.
Chipped or broken teeth caused by trauma or biting accidents.
Lost fillings, crowns, or bridges leaving sensitive areas exposed.
Bleeding that won’t stop following injury or extraction.

If you are unsure, call our team. We will advise you whether you need to be seen urgently. If swelling is affecting your breathing or swallowing, go to A&E or call 999 straight away rather than waiting for a dental appointment.

What To Do in a Dental Emergency

Knowing how to act quickly can help protect your teeth and reduce complications before you reach us:

Knocked-out tooth

Handle it gently by the crown, not the root. Keep it moist in milk or try placing it back in its socket. Call us immediately.

Severe toothache or swelling

Take suitable pain relief if safe for you and apply a cold compress to the area.

Broken or chipped tooth

Rinse your mouth with warm water and keep any broken fragments to bring with you.

Lost filling or crown

Cover the exposed area with dental wax or sugar-free chewing gum until you are seen.

No matter the situation, the most important step is to contact Zen House Dental straight away so we can arrange your same-day appointment.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I really don’t enjoy seeing a hygienist… I’ve had one or two bad experiences in the past but honestly Leah was superb… the best I’ve seen. Really took time to put me at ease, was caring, thoughtful and a fantastic bed side manner. Really happy with the service.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Super professional establishment with friendly staff who make you feel welcome each time. I was having issues with my front teeth moving and crumbling and so went to Zen House Dental to see what can be done.
I was not by any means expecting perfection, just something better than what I had, but perfection is exactly what I got.
I had some veneers and implants done. Now I cannot stop smiling.
Specifically, I cannot thank Dr.Eassun and his assistant Lauren enough for not only giving me a perfect smile but also oodles of confidence and also putting up with an occasional tantrum of mine. He stuck with me and made sure I was looked after and happy with the end result.
I am not just happy but over the moon and highly recommend this dental practice, but specifically, Dr.Eassun.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t recommend Dr Shivali highly enough. From the very beginning, she has been incredibly patient and always happy to go at my pace, which made such a difference to my confidence and comfort. She took the time to clearly explain all of my options, was very informative throughout, and never once pushed any treatment that she didn’t genuinely feel would benefit my teeth repair and improvement journey.

My treatment started with a root canal, and from there all the way through to the end of my Invisalign treatment, Dr Shivali has been amazing. She’s not only highly skilled, but also so friendly and reassuring — she really puts you at ease and makes every appointment feel far less daunting.

If I ever need any more dental work in the future (hopefully not!), I wouldn’t hesitate to return to Dr Shivali at Zen. She will always be my first choice.

I also have to mention how welcoming the front reception team are — they’re always a pleasure to see and chat with, and they truly add to the positive experience every time I visit.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve struggled to find a decent dentist near me for some time and I’m so pleased I have found Zen House. I had a hygienist appointment today by way of my own introduction to them and I couldn’t have been happier. The ‘house’ is beautiful, the receptionist warm and friendly and both the hygienist and nurse were so comforting, capable and made me feel at ease. They took the time to explain everything that was going on and how best to help me on my healthy teeth journey with great advice and tips. I feel very lucky to have found them and I look forward to my next appointment (who says that about a dentist?!)

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very happy with my composite bonding with Dr Ashkay. Great attention to detail ensuring my teeth look very natural. I had an old cap on my front tooth that was loose leaving only a small amount of tooth and he managed to match this with my other teeth using composite. Great result thank you!
