Yes. At Melbourne Dental Studio, we reserve daily emergency slots specifically to accommodate a same-day dentist appointment. We prioritise patients experiencing severe tooth pain to ensure they receive immediate stabilising care.

We consider pain as severe if it’s making it hard to focus on daily activities, or if it’s interrupting your sleep. You know your own body, so if you feel that the pain isn’t right, give us a call on 1300 555 009.
