Emergency Dentist Darlinghurst – Prompt & Gentle Care When You Need It Most
Emergency Dentist
Dental pain or damage can be distressing, especially when it happens unexpectedly. At Holdsworth House Dental in Darlinghurst, our experienced team provides same-day emergency appointments whenever possible, with a focus on relieving discomfort and identifying the underlying cause of the problem.
We commonly see patients with severe tooth pain, swelling, infection, broken teeth or restorations, dental trauma and sudden sensitivity. Our approach is calm and methodical, focused on stabilising the situation and preventing further issues so you can feel reassured knowing you’re in capable hands.

How We Support Dental Emergencies
Once the immediate concern has been identified, our focus is on providing clear guidance, appropriate care and a steady path forward. Every emergency is different, and our approach is designed to respond promptly while remaining thoughtful and measured.
Timely Assessment
Emergency appointments are prioritised wherever possible, with same-day care available when appropriate, so concerns can be assessed early and managed carefully. Prompt evaluation allows us to relieve discomfort, reduce the risk of further complications and gain a clear understanding of what’s happening. From there, we can explain the findings and recommend the most suitable next steps with clarity and reassurance.
A Considered and Unrushed Approach
Not every dental emergency requires rushed or extensive treatment. While our priority is to relieve discomfort and address immediate concerns, we also take time for careful assessment and planning for follow-up care such as a dental filling or dental crown once the tooth has settled. This allows us to provide care that is delivered safely and comfortably, with a clear focus on protecting your longer-term oral health and avoiding unnecessary intervention.
Conveniently Located in Darlinghurst
Our clinic is conveniently located at the intersection of Darlinghurst and the Sydney CBD, making it easy to reach when urgent care is needed. We’re within walking distance of major train and bus routes, with on-street parking available nearby to help reduce any unnecessary stress.
What is considered a dental emergency?
A dental emergency typically includes severe tooth pain, swelling, infection, dental trauma, a broken tooth or restoration, or bleeding that doesn’t settle. If you’re unsure whether your situation is urgent, it’s best to contact us so we can advise on the appropriate next step.
Can I be seen the same day for a dental emergency?
We prioritise emergency appointments wherever possible and often offer same-day care. Availability can vary depending on the nature of the issue and the time you contact us, but our team will do their best to see you promptly and relieve discomfort.
What will happen at an emergency appointment?
An emergency appointment focuses on assessing the problem, relieving pain or infection, and stabilising the situation. In some cases, definitive treatment can be completed on the day; in others, temporary measures may be taken with a plan made for follow-up care once the tooth has settled.
Will emergency dental treatment be painful?
Our priority is to make emergency treatment as comfortable as possible. With effective local anaesthetic and a calm, unhurried approach, most patients find emergency dental care far more manageable than they expect.
