Fast Responsive Emergency Dental Care in Portsmouth

A dental emergency can interfere with eating, sleeping, speaking or everyday activities. Patients contact us with mounting pain, swelling or visible tooth damage and need reassurance that someone can help them right away. Since 2004, Perfect Smile has treated over 4.2 million patients across the UK — combining advanced clinical care with a genuine focus on patient comfort and reassurance. Our Portsmouth emergency dental clinics see patients with severe toothache, broken teeth, dental infections, damaged restorations and unexpected dental trauma at our Cosham and North End clinics.

Patients contacting our Portsmouth emergency dental clinics are often already dealing with worsening pain, sleepless nights or uncertainty about how serious the problem is. Our teams remove that uncertainty from the first call — explaining what is happening, whether treatment can begin at the same appointment, and what comes next.

Emergency treatment at both our Portsmouth clinics may begin at the same appointment and include infection management, emergencyroot canal treatment, temporary restorations or urgent tooth extraction where clinically indicated. For selected private treatments over £1,000, we also offer 0% interest-free finance options to help patients access care promptly without delaying important treatment decisions.

Fareed Khan

GDC: 70723

BChD, MFDCRCS, Cert Impl

Dr Fareed Khan graduated from Leeds University and has always had a special interest in Temporo-mandibular Joint Dysfunction. He had a paper published on this subject whilst still a student.

After graduating, he spent a couple of years in a Dental Practice but then was resident in hospitals studying Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery for 3 years. Fareed then went to the USA for 2 years and studied Maxillofacial Radiology and Cranio-Facial Imaging.

Since then he has worked in our Putney practice and spent 5 years part-time at Eastman Dental Hospital studying Dental Implantology.
He has a special interest in the relationship of the Dental Occlusion to the position of the lower Jaw and the effects this may have on the TMJs and associated structures.

Fareed believes that the bite can affect the jaw position and place strain on the TMJs and jaw muscles, and therefore he has developed a protocol to realign the teeth and repair worn down teeth and replace missing teeth to help support the jaw in its natural position. Many patients have reported reduction in their TMJ and jaw muscle symptoms after this rehabilitation.

He is happy to accept private referrals for patients with these symptoms and offers consultations.
Dr Khan is now studying digital dentistry and believes the future of Dentistry is a holistic approach with the aim of healthy teeth and jaws. He also believes form and function go together so usually the most healthy position of the teeth is also the most aesthetic.

In his spare time he likes to train in his personal gym and spend time with his family.

Happy Patients Emergency Dentist Portsmouth Reviews

“Woke up at 3am with throbbing pain across my jaw and genuinely thought I'd end up in A&E. Called Perfect Smile first thing, and they gave me an appointment that same morning. Turned out the tooth was badly infected underneath an old filling. Honestly don't know how I'd have managed another day."

– Lachlan Fraser, Cosham
★ ★ ★ ★ ★

“Part of my filling cracked while eating, and the whole tooth suddenly became sensitive to air and even water. I was convinced I’d need the tooth out, but the dentist at Cosham managed to stabilise it there and then. Much less dramatic than I’d built up in my head.”

– Camila Rodrigues, North End
★ ★ ★ ★ ★

“I ignored the swelling for two days, thinking it would settle on its own. Big mistake. By Sunday night, my face had noticeably swollen, and I could barely sleep properly. The clinic saw me quickly, explained exactly what was happening and started treatment immediately. Massive relief.”

– Perera, North End
★ ★ ★ ★ ★

“I get extremely nervous at dental appointments and usually avoid going unless I absolutely have to. What stood out for me was that nobody rushed me or made me feel silly for being anxious."

Frequently Asked Questions About Emergency Dentist Portsmouth

Mask Group 5

Yes. Both Portsmouth clinics welcome new patients requiring urgent dental treatment, even if they have never visited Perfect Smile before. Many emergency patients contact the clinic after struggling to access routine appointments elsewhere or when symptoms suddenly become impossible to ignore. 

Where availability allows, yes. Patients experiencing severe pain, swelling, infections or dental trauma are prioritised for urgent same-day assessment at both our Portsmouth clinics. We recommend calling your nearest clinic directly to check availability and explain your symptoms.

Our Cosham and North End clinics are open Monday to Friday, with appointments available throughout the working week for urgent dental cases. For dental emergencies outside our opening hours, NHS 111 can provide out-of-hours guidance and direct you to the nearest available service. You can also use our online booking system at any time to secure the earliest available appointment, and our team will prioritise urgent cases first thing each morning.

Yes. Facial swelling is one of the most common reasons patients seek emergency dental care. Depending on the severity, treatment may involve drainage, antibiotics, root canal treatment or emergency extraction. Swelling that affects breathing or swallowing should always be treated as urgent medical care.

Yes. Our Portsmouth emergency dental clinics use in-house digital imaging technology so dentists can investigate infections, fractures and hidden dental problems during the same visit without referring patients elsewhere.

Lost restorations can leave the tooth exposed, sensitive and more vulnerable to further cracking or infection. Emergency assessment allows the dentist to check whether the underlying tooth is still healthy and whether the restoration can be repaired, replaced or temporarily stabilised.

Yes. The Cosham and North End clinics both provide NHS and private dental services, although emergency availability may vary depending on appointment demand and treatment requirements.
