What is a walk-in dentist?
A walk-in dentist is an emergency dentist who offers immediate dental care without requiring an appointment.
How does the walk-in dentist service operate?
Our Walk-in dentist service operates on a first-come, first-serve basis. Patients simply walk into the clinic and ask our reception team for the next available appointment on that day. The reception team will ask you to fill some forms online. We will do our best for you to see the emergency dentist on a same day basis. Occasionally, on very busy days, you may have to be seen by the dentist on the next day.
