FAQS

No, we welcome both registered and non-registered patients for emergency appointments.

The cost of an emergency dental appointment can be found on our fees page. The cost of your dental treatment can vary depending on the problem and any treatment required.

 We will always explain any costs clearly before starting treatment.

We aim to provide immediate relief and may begin treatment during your emergency appointment. However, some treatments may require a follow-up visit depending on complexity.

No, a dental infection will not go away without treatment. While symptoms may temporarily improve, the infection will remain. Our dentists can give you full detailed advice during your appointment.

If you experience pain, trauma, swelling, or damage to a tooth, contact the practice as soon as possible. Our team will assess your situation and arrange an urgent appointment where needed.

During your appointment, the dentist will:

  • Examine the problem
  • Identify the cause
  • Relieve pain where possible
  • Explain your options

The priority is to get you comfortable and stabilise the issue.

Tooth pain can feel worse at night because lying down increases blood flow to the head, which can increase pressure in the affected tooth. There are also fewer distractions, making the pain feel more intense.

Dr Smillie has been my dentist for more than 2 decades… he has given me consistently top-level care. He is the kind of clinician who always puts patients first- sadly very difficult to find in current times.The receptionists are also very patient and efficient, and have also been there long-term which they should be rewarded for. They complete the package.

Having avoided dental treatment for several years because of previous bad experiences and the anxiety connected to that I was unable to avoid it any longer. I signed up with Josie Muirhead-Smith at Green Park Dental Practice. As well as the dental anxiety I'm also autistic so everything is more difficult before I even arrive for an appointment.<br>I was given an initial checkup and a printed treatment plan which was daunting as I needed a lot of treatment but I was able to space out each individual treatment to suit me. As for the appointments, Josie is incredibly patient and gives me the reassurance and time to process throughout the whole appointment. She explains what she's going to do and asks throughout how I'm doing pausing if needed. She, along with the dental nurse works quietly and professionally to make the treatment as comfortable as possible. I can't recommend her highly enough especially if you have any sort of anxiety or additional needs.

All very friendly

25th July 2026

Really happy for the extra level of treatment I received, not only was the cleaning treatment very efficient but was less painful than previous times and I asked whether the water was warm and told yes their new system gently warms the water. I was given a special paste tooth rub which would identify any plaque which would turn pink. I was also given x rays to try to identify what was causing a random ache in one of my back teeth. In addition I was also given a prescription for both dry mouth and some fluoride toothpaste . Thanks

The dentist was excellent at her work taking care and time to make the experience as comfortable as possible, was very informative as to what she doing, and told me to contact her if there were any problem which there has not been! Very satisfied with the outcome!

The whole process was satisfactory. I was acknowledged when I turned up, the Hygienist asked how I brushed my teeth, explained the best way to keep them clean. She and her assistant made the treatment comfortable.
