Do Dentists Work Over Christmas? - Meliora Dental | Dentist in Leeds, Yorkshire

Many private dental practices reduce their offering during the Christmas break, and it can be

challenging to access an emergency appointment.

But not us here at Meliora Dental!

• Our opening times are the same (apart from on Bank Holidays).
• We take emergency dentist appointments only on Bank Holidays (no sit-and-wait appointments.

What can a private dentist do differently in a dental emergency?

As a private dentist, we are fortunate to have the resources and processes to offer efficient emergency dental care that gets you pain-free again.

Here are a few reasons to choose a private dentist for emergency dental care this winter, and indeed in the long term:

• Urgent appointments are always available. We keep a set number of same-day emergency appointments back every 24-hour period, so we are always able to offer appointments within 24 hours (generally, we can accommodate you much faster than this).
• Many more treatment options are available (many of which are less invasive than the offering on the NHS).
• Greater flexibility – we can accommodate you for routine appointments at a time that suits you. Our patients find this particularly useful during the festive period, when life can get a bit chaotic and busy!
• You don’t need to be registered with us to access a private emergency appointment.

• Treatment can be cheaper and more affordable than private dental practices as it is government-subsidised.
• If you can’t get through to a private dentist, 111 may be able to see you within 24 hours.
