FAQS

No, we welcome both registered and non-registered patients for emergency appointments.

The cost of an emergency dental appointment can be found on our fees page. The cost of your dental treatment can vary depending on the problem and any treatment required.

 We will always explain any costs clearly before starting treatment.

We aim to provide immediate relief and may begin treatment during your emergency appointment. However, some treatments may require a follow-up visit depending on complexity.

No, a dental infection will not go away without treatment. While symptoms may temporarily improve, the infection will remain. Our dentists can give you full detailed advice during your appointment.

If you experience pain, trauma, swelling, or damage to a tooth, contact the practice as soon as possible. Our team will assess your situation and arrange an urgent appointment where needed.

During your appointment, the dentist will:

  • Examine the problem
  • Identify the cause
  • Relieve pain where possible
  • Explain your options

The priority is to get you comfortable and stabilise the issue.

Tooth pain can feel worse at night because lying down increases blood flow to the head, which can increase pressure in the affected tooth. There are also fewer distractions, making the pain feel more intense.

Mr Ellis is the best dentist and it would be very difficult to find another dentist of his calibre. Mr Ellis listens to his patient and always provides good advice and options before any procedure. He leads a very professional, competent and caring team. There is always a warm welcome from the receptionist, which would put any nervous patient at ease (thankfully I am not of a nervous disposition).My difficult teeth have been kept in good order by Mr Ellis, his dental nurse and the hygienist for many years.I would like to convey my gratitude and thanks to Mr Ellis and his wonderful team.

I've recently moved to Hindhead after being at my previous dentist in London for many years Declan was recommended to me via a friend and up to date have not been disappointed at all with my move. Having been with my previous dentist for over three decades it's a big move to change dentist and an unnerving one as need to build relations again. Am very happy with my decision to have a dentist closer to home.
