We call you back to confirm a dentist near you
Go to a hospital emergency unit straight away if swelling spreads towards your eye or neck, you struggle to breathe or swallow, you have a high fever, or you injured your jaw.
Typical Gauteng fees. The dentist confirms your exact cost before treatment; after-hours and Sunday visits usually cost more.
| Treatment | Typical price |
|---|---|
| Emergency consultation & exam | R500–R1,200 |
| Tooth removal (simple extraction) | R800–R1,500 |
| Temporary or permanent filling | R800–R1,500 |
| Root canal (to save the tooth) | R2,500–R6,000+ |
| Crown for a broken tooth | R4,000–R7,500+ |
Choose your area, or use the form above and we will find the nearest available dentist.
Request a call-back with the form and choose "Emergency (pain / swelling)". We look for a dentist near you who can see you the same day where possible. Many practices keep emergency slots on weekdays and Saturday mornings.
Some Gauteng practices see emergencies on Sundays and public holidays, often by phone arrangement and at an after-hours rate. Send your request and say it is urgent: we will tell you honestly what is available near you.
Very few dentists are open 24 hours. After hours, most private hospitals have an emergency unit that can treat severe pain, swelling or injuries and refer you to a dentist the next day.
An emergency consultation usually costs about the same as a normal consultation (around R500–R1,200), plus the treatment you need, such as an extraction (R800–R1,500) or the start of a root canal. After-hours visits cost more.
Some practices accept walk-ins, but you may wait a long time. A quick call-back request is usually faster: we confirm a time before you travel.
Go to a hospital emergency unit straight away if you have swelling that is spreading to your eye or neck, difficulty breathing or swallowing, a high fever, bleeding that will not stop, or a broken jaw.
