With an on-site lab, CT scanner and over 20 years’ experience, most emergencies are diagnosed and treated here rather than referred on — which matters when you just want it sorted today.
Nobody likes a surprise when it comes to costs especially in the current times, so we will always be up front with our fees.
For your examination, consultation and diagnosis of your pain we charge £49. (Normally £86)
It is likely that we will need to take at least one small X-ray and that is £15.50.
Once we know what is causing your pain we will show you images and discuss your options. Once you choose an option you will know your costs. We think that is the only fair way to treat people.
You can get an idea of costs when you call to make an appointment.
At Skin & Smiles we have been providing dental treatments of all sorts to the local and wider community for over 120 years.
If you are suffering with dental pain or an issue that your regular dentist cannot or will not deal with, then let us try to help you.
We pride ourselves in providing the dentistry that others cannot do or don’t want to do.
We will listen to you, we will educate you about the cause of your problem and we will give you all the options available.
We aim to get you pain-free in a single visit and then provide options for you to consider how to deal with the issue in the medium and long term.
Facial swelling, a broken or knocked-out tooth, severe toothache, a lost filling or crown, or dental pain that painkillers aren’t touching. If you’re not sure, call us — we’ll tell you honestly whether you need to be seen today.
Yes — we keep same-day slots for dental emergencies, including evening appointments up to 7pm on Mondays and Wednesdays. Call 01923 226336 as early as you can and we’ll fit you in.
Yes. You don’t need to be an existing patient. Many people come to us in an emergency because their own dentist couldn’t or wouldn’t help.
examination, consultation and diagnosis is from £49, and a small X-ray if needed is £15.50. Once we’ve found the cause we’ll show you the options and their costs before doing anything — no surprises.
That’s our aim. Most emergencies can be diagnosed and treated in a single visit thanks to our on-site lab and CT scanner, with longer-term options discussed afterwards rather than rushed.
Call us on 01923 226336. In the meantime, over-the-counter painkillers taken as directed can help, and for a knocked-out adult tooth, keep it in milk and call immediately — time matters.
When you’ve got sudden tooth pain in Watford, the last thing you want is to be told the nearest appointment is next week or that you’ll have to travel into London. We keep same-day emergency slots at our Whippendell Road practice, with evening appointments to 7pm on Mondays and Wednesdays — so people from Watford, Rickmansworth, Bushey and across Hertfordshire can be seen quickly and get out of pain the same day. Because we have an on-site lab and CT scanner, most emergencies are diagnosed and treated here in a single visit rather than referred on to another clinic. There’s parking nearby and we’re a short distance from Watford town centre — please note our treatment rooms are on the first floor, so do let us know if stairs are difficult.
