Dental emergencies we treat

The team at Core Dental Group Southbank handles a wide range of urgent situations:

• Severe toothache or throbbing dental pain
• Chipped, cracked, or broken tooth
• Knocked-out tooth (dental avulsion) — act immediately, this is time-critical
• Lost or dislodged filling or crown
• Dental abscess or swelling
• Bleeding gums or mouth
• Broken dentures or orthodontic appliances
• Swollen jaw or face
• Mouth ulcers or soft tissue injuries

What to do in a dental emergency

For a knocked-out tooth: handle it by the crown, not the root. Rinse gently with milk or saline. If you can, place it back in the socket and hold it there. If that's not possible, keep it in milk or tucked between your cheek and gum. Get to the clinic as quickly as you can — the sooner you arrive, the better the chance of saving the tooth.

If swelling is making it hard to swallow or breathe, call 000 immediately. That can signal a spreading infection that needs hospital treatment.

For everything else, call Core Dental Group Southbank on (03) 8547 0780 or 13 13 16.

HICAPS on-site

HICAPS is available on-site for immediate health fund claiming, which keeps out-of-pocket costs down even when you're coming in as an emergency.

No referral needed

You don't need a referral to access emergency dental care here. Call, and the team will take it from there.

The Southbank location is a short walk from Flinders Street Station, making it one of Melbourne's most accessible emergency dental options for CBD workers, city residents, and visitors. International patients receive detailed invoices suitable for overseas insurance claims.

Pain management and comfort

Dental pain is distressing, and the team at Core Dental Group knows it. From the moment you arrive, your comfort is the priority. Local anaesthetic is used to get on top of pain as quickly as possible, and for patients who are particularly anxious, options like happy gas are available to discuss.

Situated steps from the Eureka Tower and the Yarra River, Core Dental Group Southbank is well placed to help CBD hotel guests, international tourists, and inner-city residents who need urgent care without a long wait.
