Dental Emergency? We’re Ready to Help, Fast.
Emergency Dentist in Edinburgh
If you’re in severe dental pain, facing swelling, or have damaged a tooth or jaw, you need help fast. At Integrated Dentalcare, we offer same-day emergency dental appointments to quickly relieve pain, stabilise the issue, and prevent further damage.
Whether you’re a regular patient or not, if it’s urgent, we’re here.
What Counts as a Dental Emergency?
Don’t second-guess it. If it hurts or looks serious—call us. You may need emergency dental care if you experience:
- Knocked-out, cracked, or broken teeth
- Severe or sudden toothache
- Abscess, infection, or gum swelling
- Trauma to the jaw, face, or gums
- Bleeding in the mouth that won’t stop
- A loose tooth (adult) or cracked crown/bridge
- Swelling causing discomfort or difficulty swallowing
If in doubt—call us. We’ll advise whether you need to come in immediately or if another step is safer.
⚠️ If you are bleeding heavily or have suffered a serious head/jaw injury, seek emergency medical care at A&E.
Why Acting Fast Matters
- Saves Teeth: A knocked-out tooth may be saved if treated within 1 hour.

Aftercare and Support: You’ll receive clear guidance on recovery, medication (if required), and how to prevent reoccurrence.

How to Manage Pain Before Your Appointment
While waiting for your visit:
- Use over-the-counter pain relief (e.g., ibuprofen or paracetamol—always follow instructions).
- Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.
- Avoid placing painkillers directly on gums—it can cause burns.
- Stick to soft, cool foods and avoid chewing on the affected side.
- Rinse gently with salt water if infection or swelling is suspected.

Hear From Our Patients
Integrated Dentalcare have straightened my teeth and fixed all wear. I have been with the practice for 10 years and they have always been exemplary in their approach and treatments. The clinic is very calm. The reception is very friendly. I highly recommend them.

Just finished 30 weeks of invisible aligners with Integrated Dentalcare and I can’t praise them enough for the care and attention they afforded me at all times. I was part of the process throughout the treatment which included regular check-ups and discussions to check progress. Their expertise has given me a wonderful new smile which I’m delighted with. Best dentist I’ve ever been too.

I went years without going to a dentist after bad previous experiences that had made me anxious to go back, but I found Integrated Dentalcare. I’ve genuinely never felt worried about going to the dentist since. They are honestly the nicest dentists you could ask for. They listened to my concerns and instead of brushing me off, they straightened my teeth and made me feel much more confident when I smile. They went above and beyond to fit appointments around my schedule and make me feel completely as ease every time.

Another visit to the dental practice this morning, nearing the end of my Sparks treatment and so pleased with the results. The alignment of my teeth is amazing, thank you to Alan for his infinite attention to detail and expertise as an orthodontist. All staff are so welcoming and professional throughout each contact I have had. Treatment, skills, knowledge and equipment are highly advanced in this clinic.

I couldn’t be happier with my experience at this dental practice! When I first came in 2022, I had several cavities, bite issues (deep bite), and needed a root canal re-treatment and a crown. The team created a comprehensive treatment plan, including the necessary restoration work and teeth movement using clear aligners. Their attention to detail is remarkable, and they are true experts in their field. The results have been amazing! All the restoration work and teeth movement are now complete, and I realize I was in constant discomfort before due to my unhealthy bite. Now, my bite is much healthier and more functional, and the cosmetic improvement is fantastic. It’s life-changing to be pain-free and proud of my smile. I highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for expert dental care!
