If you have a dental emergency, please call (03) 9510 1644 during clinic hours or (04) 3380 8266 outside of regular clinic hours. We also encourage you to contact us if you’re unsure your situation requires emergency dental care—we can guide you through what to do.
Dental emergencies can feel overwhelming, but our team at Lifetime Dental is here to make the experience as smooth and stress-free as possible. We’ll do everything we can to get you in the dental chair quickly so we can relieve your pain and treat your concerns. We understand that a toothache, cracked tooth or lost filling rarely happens at a convenient time, so we have an after-hours phone line you can call.
We take a gentle, whole-person approach, which means we’re not just here to patch things up; we’re here to dig into the root cause and see how it connects to your overall health. We ensure your treatment is as comfy and stress-free as possible using safe, biocompatible materials and thoughtful techniques.
Whether you’re looking for quick pain relief or a long-term fix, our Prahran emergency dentists have your back. Your comfort is our top priority, and we’re here to guide you with compassion and a little extra TLC. If you’re dealing with a dental emergency, please don’t hesitate to ring us.
Dental pain can come from a variety of sources, including teeth, gums and even surrounding head and neck areas. Our skilled emergency dentists are trained to quickly identify the root cause of your pain, whether it’s a tooth infection, gum issue or injury. During your appointment, we’ll thoroughly examine the affected area and may use digital x-rays to clearly understand what’s happening beneath the surface.
Once we understand the issue, we’ll walk you through all available treatment options. We believe in full transparency, so you’ll know each option's costs, benefits and expected outcomes before making a decision. This way, you’re in complete control of your care, and there are no unexpected surprises.
To make sure you receive care as soon as possible, we reserve a slot each day specifically for emergency cases. This means that even if you’re experiencing sudden pain or an injury, we can see you promptly and help you get back to feeling comfortable. From the moment you call us to the end of your treatment, we’re here to provide efficient, compassionate care when you need it most.
