Severe Toothache
The kind of pain that wakes you at 3am and won't let you eat, sleep, or think straight.

Emergency Dental Care
If any of these sound like what you are going through right now, call 07 5547 6000. The team holds same-day time specifically for patients who need to be seen today — not next week.
Time-Sensitive
A knocked-out permanent tooth has the greatest chance of being saved when you reach a dentist within 30–60 minutes of the injury. These steps help protect the tooth while you get here.
This guidance is for permanent (adult) teeth only. Do not attempt to reinsert a baby tooth.

Your dentist finds the source of the problem using digital X-rays or CBCT imaging, then explains what is going on in plain language. All fees are quoted before anything starts. You are welcome to ask questions, take your time, or bring someone with you.

Many emergency situations — extractions, temporary restorations, abscess drainage — can be handled on the same visit. Your dentist discusses comfort options before beginning, and you can pause at any time. Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.

Why Joyner Family Dental
If it has been a while since your last visit, that is OK. Nobody here is counting the years.
Nearly half the patients who come in for emergency care have been putting off the dentist for a while. Life gets busy, anxiety builds, and then something breaks or starts hurting at the worst possible time. The team here understands that. There is no lecture waiting for you — just a calm assessment and honest options.
CBCT 3D imaging and digital X-rays are on-site, so your dentist can find the source of the problem and explain your options in a single visit. If you are feeling anxious, the room has a ceiling-mounted TV, noise-cancelling headphones, and a warm blanket — small things that make a real difference when you are already on edge.
All fees are discussed before any work begins. You will know what is happening, what it costs, and why — so you can make a clear decision even when you are uncomfortable.
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
Depending on the injury, same-day treatment may include root canal treatment to save an infected tooth, or a temporary crown restoration to protect it. If anxiety is making you hesitate, our sedation dentistry options can keep you calm and comfortable throughout.
The clinic's exact opening hours are still being finalised. Call first so the team can triage your concern and confirm the earliest available time.
