Out of Hours Dental Care in Central London

Dental problems don't always happen during office hours. Whether you develop a toothache in the evening, chip a tooth over the weekend, or simply cannot take time off work for a dental appointment, finding a dentist outside normal hours can be challenging in London.

At South Kensington Medical & Dental, we understand this. That is why we are open 7 days a week, including extended hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays (until 8pm) and both days of the weekend (10am–4pm). Our clinic at 20 Old Brompton Road is directly next to South Kensington Tube Station.

We offer both emergency and routine dental care during all opening hours — there is no reduced service in the evenings or weekends. You will see the same experienced, GDC-registered emergency dentists regardless of when you attend.

When Can You See Us?

Late Evening Appointments

On Tuesdays and Thursdays, we remain open until 8pm — well after most dental practices have closed. These evening slots are popular with working professionals who cannot attend during the day.

Tuesdays & Thursdays until 8pm

Weekend Appointments

We are open on both Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 4pm. Whether you have a dental emergency or simply prefer a weekend appointment for routine care, we have availability.

Saturday & Sunday 10am–4pm

Same-Day Emergency Slots

We reserve emergency appointment slots throughout the day, every day of the week. If you are in pain, we aim to see you on the same day — even at short notice.

Managing a Dental Problem Until Your Appointment

If you cannot be seen immediately, these general self-care measures may help. They are not a substitute for professional dental care.

Toothache

Take over-the-counter pain relief such as paracetamol or ibuprofen (following the packet instructions and any advice from your pharmacist). Avoid very hot, cold, or sweet food and drink.

Facial swelling

A cold compress held against the cheek can help. If swelling affects your eye, breathing, or swallowing, this is a medical emergency — call 999 or attend A&E.

Knocked-out adult tooth

Handle the tooth by the crown, not the root. If clean, try to reinsert it gently and bite on a clean cloth; otherwise store it in milk and see a dentist as soon as possible.

Lost filling or crown

Keep the crown safe if you have it. Avoid chewing on that side and keep the area clean until your appointment. Temporary repair kits from a pharmacy can help short-term.

Bleeding after an extraction

Bite firmly on a clean gauze or cloth for 15–20 minutes. If bleeding does not stop, contact us or call NHS 111.

When to seek urgent medical help: facial swelling affecting your eye, breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, or trauma with loss of consciousness require A&E or 999 — not a dental appointment.

Out of Hours Dentist FAQs

What counts as "out of hours" dental care?+
Out of hours generally means dental care outside the typical Monday–Friday, 9am–5pm working day. At our clinic this includes late evening appointments on Tuesdays and Thursdays until 8pm, and weekend appointments on Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 4pm.
Can I see a dentist in the evening in London?+
Yes. We offer late evening appointments on Tuesdays and Thursdays until 8pm at our South Kensington clinic. These slots are popular with commuters and working professionals, so we recommend booking online or calling ahead on 020 7183 2362.
How much does an out-of-hours dental appointment cost?+
Our new patient emergency assessment is £30 (usual fee £95) — the same price applies evenings and weekends; we do not charge an out-of-hours premium. Any treatment needed is quoted in a written treatment plan before it begins.
What if I have a dental emergency when you are closed?+
You can book online 24/7 and we will see you at the next available appointment — often the same or next day. For urgent NHS dental advice outside our hours call NHS 111. For severe facial swelling affecting breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, or trauma, call 999 or go to A&E immediately.
Do you offer the full range of treatments in the evenings and at weekends?+
Yes. There is no reduced service outside standard hours — examinations, X-rays, fillings, extractions, and emergency root canal treatment are all available during every opening session, carried out by the same GDC-registered dentists.
Do I need to be a registered patient to book out of hours?+
No. New patients are welcome and no referral is needed. You can book directly online or by phone, and your first emergency assessment is £30.

Real Case Study — Emergency Broken Front Tooth

Emergency Case

Emergency Root Canal & Crown for Severely Fractured Front Tooth

by Dr Yasha Shirazi

The patient presented with a front tooth fractured almost halfway, extremely sensitive and painful. After emergency root canal treatment, a fibre post was placed and a custom crown fitted to fully restore strength and appearance.

The adjacent chipped tooth was repaired with composite edge bonding. Both teeth were subtly reshaped for a balanced, natural-looking result.
