New and existing patients who are in pain can normally be seen on the same day. We have at least 4 sessions every day which are dedicated emergency slots. Normally all emergency patients who want to be seen the same day are seen within 1 hour of arrival. This facility is only available privately.

We do not offer a same day emergency service for NHS patients except in exceptional circumstances. We offer NHS care for Children but this is limited to the restrictions imposed by the NHS, and which apply to all practices offering NHS Dental Care.

We prefer patients to let us know that they are coming, it allows us to prepare and more importantly it stops patients turning up when there is no Dentist. Our policy is to provide pain relief as soon as possible and then arrange for the patient to return for any long-term treatment that is required.

Please have a look at information about Your First Visit to MK Dental Care.

For new patients there is a minimum charge, the cost of the initial examination, and any other dental charges will be explained. For existing patients, whose check up is not due, there is no charge for the examination, although other charges (x-rays etc) may apply.

If you ring the surgery on 01908 690326. and there will be a message that tells you what to do. Usually we will see you ourselves but otherwise we now use two numbers.
