An emergency dental appointment typically takes between 30 and 60 minutes. The duration depends on the severity of the issue, with simple procedures like fillings or extractions often completed within 20 to 40 minutes. More complex cases, such as managing a dental abscess or multiple injuries, may require additional time for assessment and stabilising treatment.

Common emergency procedure times include:

• Fillings: 20–30 minutes per tooth.
• Simple tooth extractions: 20–40 minutes.
• Initial assessment and X-rays: Often similar to a standard check-up duration.
• Pain relief and stabilisation: Varies based on the injury or infection severity.
