A dental emergency can occur at the most inconvenient of times! It could be a sudden pain, a dental accident, or a tooth breaking mid-chew. Fortunately, Be Dental is here to assist with your Gold Coast emergency dentist needs. Our team of empathetic dentists provide prompt treatment solutions to prevent further damage, relieve pain, and bring your smile back.
Delaying treatment when a dental emergency occurs can often lead to bigger problems, so it’s important to get any emergencies looked at quickly. At Be Dental, same-day appointments are available so you can be seen and treated without delay.
Be Dental offers same day dentist appointments for your emergency dental care needs. Each day we keep a handful of appointment slots free to accommodate those that need Gold Coast emergency dentist services. If you have a dental emergency, contact our friendly team as soon as you’re able and we’ll do our best to get you booked in and seen to as quickly as possible.
Some dental needs shouldn’t be left for when your routine appointment rolls around. Here are some common reasons why patients might seek out a Gold Coast emergency dentist:
A tooth might crack or break if you bite down on something hard, get a sports injury, or otherwise have an accident. You may be tempted to leave a small crack when it happens, but sadly, these can worsen if left untreated. Emergency dental care for a cracked or broken tooth works to stabilise the affected tooth, prevent infection or further fracturing, and also reduce pain for the patient.
Toothaches can be incredibly distracting and make it hard to focus on anything else. They’re also a very common dental emergency. A toothache may indicate infection, decay, or nerve damage, so it’s important to get it seen to. Our emergency dentists will treat your toothache by focusing on the cause of the pain, administering pain relief, and completing any restoration work the tooth may require.
A tooth being knocked out is a real dental emergency that can have big consequences if not addressed. Luckily, by acting fast, you can significantly improve your chances of saving the tooth. When a tooth is knocked out, book an emergency dental appointment with Be Dental and we’ll do our best to help. Our experienced Gold Coast dentists will assess the damage, and if possible, reposition and stabilise the tooth in your mouth.
There are a few signs that might indicate there’s a dental infection or abscess in your mouth. These can include fever, pus, swelling, and intense pain. It’s important to treat these conditions urgently, as if ignored they can spread and cause larger problems. Our emergency dental experts are highly-knowledgeable about infection and abscess treatment, and will work to relieve your pain and safely address the issue.
If one of your teeth has become weakened, fractured, or otherwise badly damaged, a same day dental crown may help to quickly restore strength and function. Be Dental can do CEREC same day dental crowns, with the procedure taking between 80-100 minutes (including a 40-minute break in the middle where you can do your shopping!). An emergency dental crown will allow you to get your smile back without a long wait.
A lost crown or filling can mean the exposed tooth underneath becomes sensitive and vulnerable to damage. If you’ve lost a crown or filling, you’ll want to book an emergency dental appointment as soon as possible. Our team of dentists will use their expertise to remedy the situation by restoring the tooth’s protection, preventing further complications that may arise from delaying treatment.
Don’t let financial concerns stop you from getting the urgent dental treatment you need. Be Dental is a dentist with payment plans, offering a number of flexible options for those that are unable to or don’t wish to pay upfront.
With Zip Pay dental payment plans, patients can make purchases up to $1000. These purchases are then paid back in interest-free payments weekly, fortnightly, or monthly. There’s a monthly fee for accounts with an outstanding balance, and payments start as low as $40 per month.
Afterpay Plus offers eligible patients the option of breaking their emergency dental costs into manageable instalments. With Afterpay Plus your Gold Coast dental treatments can be paid for in 4 interest-free payments across a 6-week timeframe, providing payment flexibility.
For emergency dentist appointments, we recommend giving us a call as soon as possible. This way, our team can talk to you about your concerns and find a time that suits your needs, quickly. Where possible, calling early in the morning is recommended, as emergency dental spots can fill up throughout the day. Alternatively, you can book an appointment online through our booking form.
Some patients may be eligible to access their super for dental work under the ATO’s Compassionate Release of Superannuation (CRS) scheme. This scheme allows qualifying patients to access their superannuation for a number of dental needs, including oral surgery, restorative treatment, infection and abscess treatment, root canal treatment, dental implants, replacement of missing teeth, and more. If you have emergency dental care needs, have a chat with us today to learn more about options relating to accessing super for dental work.
