You don’t need to be registered with us to receive emergency care. We understand that dental emergencies can happen to anyone at any time. Whether you’re one of our regular patients or you’re experiencing an emergency and need immediate help, we’re here for you.

Dental emergencies can be painful, stressful, and disruptive. At Union Quay Dental, we take emergency care seriously and have structured our practice to ensure you receive prompt attention when you need it most.

Every day, we allocate specific time slots exclusively for managing same-day emergencies. This means you won’t have to wait weeks for relief or treatment. When you call with an emergency, we’ll do everything we can to see you on the same day.
