Same-day private dental care for visitors to London. GDC-registered clinicians, transparent pricing in GBP and card payments accepted. After your appointment we provide a treatment statement and proof of payment which you can submit to your own travel-insurance provider. No NHS number, GP registration or UK address required.
A clear, three-step pathway from phone call to treatment. You — or your hotel concierge — can start the process in a few minutes.
Call 020 3137 6356 yourself, ask your hotel reception to call on your behalf, or book online. We triage your symptoms over the phone and confirm a same-day or next-available slot.
A GDC-registered dentist takes a brief medical history, examines the affected area and takes an X-ray if clinically indicated. Findings, options and costs are discussed before any treatment begins.
Where clinically appropriate, definitive or stabilising treatment is carried out at the same visit. You receive a treatment statement and proof of payment, including the clinician's GDC number, which you can submit to your own travel-insurance provider.
The clinical presentations we most often see in patients who are not normally based in the UK. All assessments are carried out by a GDC-registered dentist.
Pulpal pain, pressure pain, lingering sensitivity to hot or cold — examination, X-ray where indicated, and immediate management with pulp extirpation, medicated dressing or definitive treatment as appropriate.
Learn moreAvulsed and luxated teeth treated as a time-critical injury. Repositioning, splinting and pulp assessment by a GDC-registered clinician.
Learn moreRe-cementation where the existing restoration is intact, or a temporary restoration to seal the tooth and prevent fracture until you return home.
Learn moreSharp edges smoothed, exposed dentine sealed, and a same-day composite or temporary restoration placed where clinically indicated.
Learn moreDrainage where accessible, antibiotic management when clinically appropriate, and clear escalation advice if there are signs of spreading infection.
Learn moreIrrigation of the operculum, oral hygiene advice, and assessment of whether the tooth requires extraction or referral.
Learn moreSame-day denture repair where possible, and management of protruding orthodontic wires or detached brackets.
Learn moreDry socket, post-extraction bleeding, suture review and assessment of healing after recent dental surgery — whether the original treatment was carried out in the UK or abroad.
Learn moreA recurring presentation in our clinics: patients who travelled overseas for dental work and developed a problem on returning to, or visiting, the UK.
The clinical concerns we see most frequently include crowns or bridges that have de-cemented, post-extraction infection or dry socket, persistent sensitivity following veneer or composite work, ill-fitting prostheses, and post-surgical bleeding or swelling.
Our role in these cases is focused and clinical. We carry out an examination, take any radiographs that are clinically indicated, and address the immediate issue — pain, infection, sharp edges, mobility, or seal of the affected tooth. Where the underlying treatment plan needs to be revisited, we provide a written clinical summary you can take back to your original treating dentist. We do not provide medico-legal opinions or reports for disputes with overseas providers.

Many of our visiting patients are booked through hotel concierge or guest services. If you would prefer not to make the call yourself, ask reception to contact us on 020 3137 6356. We will triage the issue, confirm a suitable appointment time, and send the appointment details back to the hotel so they can be passed to you. Please bring photo ID and a payment card to the appointment.
Clinical, practical and administrative questions we are most often asked by tourists and short-stay patients.
Yes. As a private dental practice we do not require an NHS number, GP registration, or proof of UK residency. We treat visitors and short-stay patients in the same way as any private patient: a brief medical history is taken at registration, a clinical assessment is carried out by a GDC-registered dentist, and any treatment is discussed and quoted before it begins.
That is a matter between you and your insurer. We are a private dental practice and do not accept, process or bill any insurance company directly. Payment is taken at the clinic at the time of treatment. After your appointment we provide a treatment statement and proof of payment — including the treating clinician’s GDC registration number, treatment description, fees in pounds sterling and practice details — which you can submit to your travel-insurance provider as part of your own claim. We are not affiliated with or an approved provider for any travel-insurance company.
Yes. Many of our visiting patients are booked through hotel concierge or guest services. Ask reception to call 020 3137 6356 on your behalf — we will triage the issue, confirm a same-day or next-available slot, and send appointment details directly to the hotel. You only need to bring photo ID and a payment card.
Yes. Failed work after treatment overseas (crowns coming loose, post-extraction infection, sensitivity following recent veneers, ill-fitting prostheses) is a common reason visitors contact us. We carry out a focused clinical assessment, address the immediate problem — pain, infection, mobility or sharp edges — and provide a written summary you can take back to your original treating dentist. We do not provide opinions or reports for legal disputes.
Major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express), Apple Pay, Google Pay and contactless. Payment is taken at the clinic at the time of treatment. We do not accept, process or bill insurance companies directly.
Our clinical team and reception staff speak English fluently. Additional languages are available depending on which clinician you see — please mention any language preference when booking and we will let you know who is available that day.
For genuine dental emergencies — severe pain, swelling, trauma, bleeding, lost restorations — we aim to offer a same-day appointment. The exact slot depends on availability at the time of your call. If you are unsure whether your problem is urgent, call 020 3137 6356 and our team will triage symptoms over the phone.
Where clinically appropriate, yes. Many emergency presentations — pain relief, temporary restorations, re-cementing a crown, dressing an infected tooth, suturing a soft-tissue laceration — can be resolved in a single appointment. More complex treatment (root canal therapy, definitive crown work) may require a second visit or be planned as a temporary stabilisation so you can be seen by your usual dentist on return.
Call us directly or ask your hotel reception to call on your behalf. Same-day private dental care in central London. We provide a treatment statement and proof of payment for your own insurance claim.
Triage available during clinic opening hours.
