What our patients say
Read about the experiences of our patients who have had this treatment at Night & Day.
“Excellent service at Night and Day Emergency Dentist! The team were very friendly and professional. Dr Matthew / Anna-Marie / Anas took great care of me. I felt comfortable and the treatment went smoothly. I would definitely recommend them to anyone. Thank you!”
“Absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish at Bournemouth branch. The staff are incredibly friendly and professional, and the clinic itself is beautifully clean and modern. Anas, the clinic manager, greeted us warmly as soon as we arrived, offered us water straight away, showed us where the toilets were, and then introduced us to the dentist, Milena, and her lovely nurse, Anna-Marie. After a quick form to fill in, we were taken into a super modern treatment room where I had an examination and an X-ray, and was talked through the procedure and the cost before anything went ahead. Once I’d signed the consent form and paid, Milena and Anna-Marie took brilliant care of me — a quick local anaesthetic and then the procedure itself, an extraction of my lower right molar, which took about 5 minutes in total. Afterwards, Milena and Anna-Marie talked me through the next steps, prescribed antibiotics, and gave me clear advice on what to do and avoid. We agreed I’d come back for a check-up after 5 days. This was honestly the most pleasant dental experience I’ve ever had, and I can’t recommend this clinic enough — Anas, Milena and Anna-Marie especially. They’re absolute stars at what they do.”
“After four days of panic, pain, and frustration, we finally found Night and Day Emergency Dentist — and I still can’t believe how amazing this team is! From the very first phone call, which I made in complete panic after the terrible experience and mess caused by our NHS dentist, I was met by a truly professional and caring team. The gentleman who answered the phone immediately calmed me down, listened to the situation, explained everything clearly, and reassured me that they would be able to help. Booking the appointment online was incredibly easy, with no unnecessary complications or attempts to take advantage of the situation. I was able to get an appointment at 8:30 pm, which is an option you simply don’t find everywhere. The dentist, Milena, was extremely professional. She took two X-rays, explained that she could help, and completed the treatment in just 35 minutes. The nurses, Anna-Marie and the team, were absolutely incredible as well. This is exactly how people deserve to be treated — with dignity, empathy, kindness, and professionalism. After four incredibly difficult days, this team gave us not only excellent treatment but also reassurance and peace of mind. I cannot thank them enough and would wholeheartedly recommend Night and Day Emergency Dentist to anyone who needs urgent dental care.”
What to expect during your appointment
Getting treated at Night & Day is a straightforward, pain-free process designed to get you back to your normal routine quickly.
1. Consultation & Numbing
We assess the tooth and apply a gentle local anaesthetic to ensure you feel absolutely no pain during the procedure.
2. Preparation
Once you are fully numb, the dentist carefully removes the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth, leaving a clean surface.
3. Placement & Curing
The tooth-coloured composite resin is applied in layers and hardened instantly using a specialised, safe curing light.
4. Shaping & Polishing
The filling is shaped to match your natural bite and polished so it feels perfectly smooth against your tongue and other teeth.
Dental abscess & swelling FAQs
Common questions about getting this treated at our Bournemouth clinic.
Absolutely. A dental abscess is an infection that won't clear up on its own and can spread to other parts of your body if left untreated. Call our Bournemouth clinic as soon as you notice swelling, throbbing pain, or a bad taste in your mouth.
You'll usually notice a painful swelling on the gum that looks like a small bump, sometimes with a foul taste if it starts to drain. It's often accompanied by throbbing pain, sensitivity to hot and cold, and sometimes a fever.
Antibiotics can help control the infection, but they won't fix the underlying cause. You'll still need a dentist to drain the abscess and treat the tooth to stop it coming back.
We'll drain the abscess to relieve the pressure and pain, then treat the source of the infection with a root canal, filling, or extraction depending on the damage. Everything is done under local anaesthetic so you'll be comfortable throughout.
As soon as possible. A dental infection can spread to your jaw, throat, or even your bloodstream, turning a treatable problem into something far more serious.
We numb the area fully before we start, so you shouldn't feel any pain during the procedure. Most patients actually feel instant relief once the pressure from the abscess is released.
You can hold a cold compress against the outside of your cheek and take ibuprofen to reduce swelling and pain. But these are temporary measures, so make sure you get to us as soon as you can.
