"Dental emergencies don't wait. Whether it's a severe toothache or a broken denture, we offer same-day urgent care for patients across Melbourne's North."

Emergency Dental and Denture Repairs: Same-Day Care in Melbourne's North

Dental emergencies don't schedule themselves. A cracked denture before a job interview. A throbbing toothache at 2am. A child's knocked-out tooth.

Oak Park Dental & Denture Clinic provides same-day emergency services for both dental emergencies and denture repairs. We serve Oak Park, Pascoe Vale, Glenroy, Essendon, and all northern Melbourne suburbs.

Dental Emergencies We Treat Same-Day

Severe Toothache

Intense, persistent tooth pain usually indicates deep decay, an abscess, or a cracked tooth. What we do: Diagnose the cause, provide pain relief, and begin treatment. Emergency consult: From $75 (applied to treatment cost)

Knocked-Out Tooth (Avulsion)

Time is critical. A knocked-out permanent tooth can often be replanted if you act within 30-60 minutes. What to do: Handle by crown (not root), rinse gently, keep in milk, and call us immediately.

Broken, Chipped, or Cracked Teeth

Dental trauma needs prompt assessment. Cracks can extend into the root if left untreated. What we do: Stabilise and repair with bonding, crown, or extraction depending on severity.

Lost or Broken Fillings

A lost filling exposes sensitive tooth structure. It's uncomfortable and risks rapid decay progression. What we do: Clean and place a new filling, often in under 30 minutes.

Dental Abscess and Facial Swelling

Swelling is genuinely dangerous. Untreated, it can spread to the airway or bloodstream. If you have facial swelling with difficulty breathing or swallowing, go to hospital emergency immediately.

Denture Emergencies We Repair Same-Day

Our on-site laboratory handles most denture repairs while you wait:

- Cracked denture base: 1-3 hours (From $150)
  • Broken denture (clean break): 2-4 hours (From $180)
  • Chipped or missing tooth: 1-2 hours (From $120)
  • Reline (tissue surface): 3-4 hours (From $250)

    Why Same-Day Matters for Denture Repairs

  • Unlike clinics that send repairs to external labs (3-7 day wait), we repair on-site. You don't spend a week unable to eat or socialise.

    Critical warning: Never attempt DIY denture repairs with superglue. It's toxic and often makes professional repair impossible.

    Immediate Dentures: Teeth the Same Day as Extractions

    Immediate dentures let you leave our clinic with a functional denture fitted the same day as your extractions. Cost: Immediate dentures from $1,200 per arch (includes initial relines)

    Come in immediately for:
  • Severe, uncontrolled pain or facial swelling
  • Knocked-out or displaced tooth
  • Broken denture you need to function
  • Signs of infection (fever, pus)
