What to expect at an emergency appointment

The priority is always to get you out of pain and understand what’s causing the problem. At your visit, we will:

  • Assess the affected area.
  • Take any necessary X-rays.
  • Explain what’s happening in clear terms.
  • Provide immediate treatment where possible.

This may involve stabilising the issue first, with follow-up treatment planned once things have settled.

Optima Dental Care

Treatment options following an emergency

Emergency care is often the first step. Depending on the situation, we may recommend:

  • Root canal treatment to save the tooth.
  • Tooth extraction if the tooth cannot be restored.
  • A filling or temporary restoration.
  • Further treatment to prevent the problem from returning.

Our aim is not just to deal with the immediate issue, but to help prevent it from happening again.

Optima Dental Care

Ongoing care after an emergency

For some patients, emergency appointments are their main experience of dentistry. Where possible, we aim to change that. Once the immediate issue is resolved, we can:

  • Put together a longer-term treatment plan.
  • Help stabilise your oral health.
  • Reduce the likelihood of future emergencies.

This approach helps move from reactive care to something more manageable and predictable.

Why patients in Maidenhead choose Optima Dental Care

  • Responsive and supportive approach to urgent care.
  • Clear explanations and a calm treatment environment.
  • Focus on stabilising problems before moving to long-term care.

Treatment testimonials

Mrs Angela Haigh

"I want to say what a pleasure it is to visit the team. My dentist Dr Chawla is he best.

Jennifer Trillow, Maidenhead

"Optima has been my dentist for over 10 years. Always pleased with the treatment from both NHS and private. My dentist (Aparna) is lovely and always gives good advice, and I’m completely at ease with her. The staff are warm and welcoming. I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else for treatment!

Elaine Lewis

"My family and I have been attending the Optima Dental Practice for about 15 years. We have always found everyone who works there very caring, friendly and above all, professional. We always feel we can trust and rely on the treatment we receive there.

K J Syms

"As one of the many people that hated going to the dentist, all that changed after I discovered Optima Dental Care. In fact, I look forward to my visit to see the dentist. They are very professional and kind. I have known Dr Mohan Chawla for over 10 years and hope to go on for many more.

Jo Dimmock

"Dear Mohan I would like it known how happy I am with all treatments received. Yourself, and all the staff are amazing and as a fairly nervous patient I’m always made to feel at ease, and everything is explained thoroughly and the standard of care is second to none for myself and my son. The surgery is extremely clean and welcoming. 100% highly recommended.

Paul Vincent

"Wanted to say thank you for the care I received throughout the process of having my implant completed. I was talked through the process in detail before starting. At each stage I felt comfortable that I knew what was happening. The end result is exactly what I was promised. Thank you.

Hazel, Ashtead

"I am very happy with all the dental work that Dr Mohan Chawla has carried out for me since I became a patient at his practice nine years ago. Then last year, 2018, he performed what I call ‘a little magic dentistry on three of my truly ugly, filled front teeth, turning them into splendidly normal-looking teeth. Making smiling a joy for the first time in decades.

Ken Hudson, Epsom

"Dear Dr Chawla, I thank you for your reminder about dental appointments, but I doubt if I shall be requiring one for a few years yet to come! The new set of dentures fit perfectly with no sores, ulcers or the like to date, and for which I must compliment your workmanship and recommend to others. Wishing you every success in the future.

David Burrows

"Many thanks to Dr Chawla and his team for the treatment I received during my implant process. It was lengthy and not always pleasant – invasive surgery, bone graft, temporary plate etc. – but they always made me feel that the outcome would be worthwhile – and it was! I still feel reasonably relaxed about visiting my dentist.

Deeque, Shepperton

"3 years on, and I am forever grateful to Mohan. When no one else could offer a solution for my lateral incisor, which had broken off close to the gum, for a new crown, and my bone was very limited for an implant. He engineered a solution to have a new crown. To get rid of that awful plate was such a relief and in many ways life-changing!
