Private emergency dental assessments
Urgent dental problems can be painful and worrying. CrisEliza Dental Clinic offers private emergency dental assessments in Bangor, subject to appointment availability.
Where a dentist is available, private out-of-hours emergency appointments may also be offered after normal practice hours.
Private emergency care is separate from NHS urgent care. Private treatment does not place a patient onto an NHS list and does not provide future NHS acceptance.
Common emergency problems
- Dental pain or severe toothache
- Swelling
- Broken tooth
- Lost filling
- Lost crown

What happens during the assessment
The appointment is to assess the problem, give advice, help manage immediate symptoms where possible and explain the next appropriate steps. X-rays may be required. Temporary treatment may be provided, and definitive treatment may need a later appointment.
Private emergency assessment: £75. Additional treatment fees may apply. Availability is not guaranteed. Please call before travelling. An appointment is not confirmed until you have spoken with a member of the dental team. Patients must not attend without a booked appointment.
NHS urgent dental care
If you already receive NHS care from CrisEliza Dental Clinic and develop an urgent dental problem, contact the practice first. We will advise you and, where clinically appropriate and capacity allows, arrange urgent assessment.
If you do not currently have an NHS dentist and need urgent NHS dental care, contact NHS 111 Wales for advice and access to the local urgent dental service. The Dental Access Portal is for routine NHS dental care and should not be used for emergencies.
If you need urgent NHS dental care outside normal practice opening hours, contact NHS 111 Wales. In the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board area, NHS 111 Wales provides dental helpline access information for Anglesey, Gwynedd, Conwy, Denbighshire, Flintshire and Wrexham.
Urgent clinics are by appointment only. Please do not attend an urgent clinic without an appointment. Availability is limited, and patients may be triaged before an appointment is offered.
Problems that may need urgent dental advice
- Severe dental or facial pain that is not controlled by appropriate pain relief
- Facial or mouth swelling that is not rapidly spreading and you are not systemically unwell
- A broken adult tooth causing severe uncontrolled pain
- Bleeding after dental treatment that cannot be controlled at home
- Dental or soft-tissue infection requiring prompt assessment
- A mouth ulcer, lump or sore lasting more than three weeks
Problems that may be routine rather than urgent
- Pain controlled by appropriate self-care
- Minor dental trauma
- A loose crown, bridge or veneer
- A fractured filling
- A loose or damaged denture
- Bleeding gums
- Routine treatment needs
- Post-extraction bleeding that can be controlled with local pressure
If you are unsure whether your problem is urgent, contact the practice or NHS 111 Wales for advice.
Private emergency appointments
Private emergency dental assessments may be available through CrisEliza Dental Clinic during normal opening hours and, where a dentist is available, after hours. Private fees apply, and availability is not guaranteed.
Private emergency care is separate from NHS care. Attending privately does not place a patient onto an NHS list and does not provide future NHS acceptance at this practice.
Please call before travelling. An appointment is not confirmed until you have spoken with a member of the dental team. Patients must not attend without a booked appointment.
Patients waiting for an NHS place may choose to attend privately. Choosing private care does not affect their ability to remain on the Dental Access Portal, but private attendance does not provide later NHS acceptance at this practice. Please ask the practice if you need this confirmed for your circumstances.
