Emergency Dentist in Somerset
In pain? Call 01749 812 461. We keep time for emergencies Monday to Friday and see patients from across Somerset — you do not need to be registered with us.
Urgent dental care
Seen quickly, treated properly
Toothache, a broken or knocked-out tooth, a lost crown or filling, swelling — if it cannot wait, ring the practice and we will fit you in as soon as we can during opening hours. The emergency fee is £109 for the consultation; any treatment is quoted before it begins, so there are no surprises.
We are in Bruton, central to Castle Cary, Wincanton, Shepton Mallet and Frome, and because oral surgery, root canal treatment and sedation are all done at the practice, most emergencies can be dealt with fully here rather than patched up and referred on.
Please note: We are unable to offer full disabled access at this time. Car parking is only available on residential streets.
