Walk-ins
If you are experiencing a dental emergency, you may present to the Dental Clinic without a prior appointment. On arrival, you will be triaged by the clinic team. We strongly encourage any dental emergencies to present at 9am to assist with triaging and treatment planning.
If you are triaged as requiring urgent treatment, you will be asked to sit and wait, and will be seen as soon as possible on the day.
If you are triaged as not requiring urgent treatment, you may be required to book an appointment at a later time or date.
Please note: all walk-in presentations will be triaged, and there may be extended wait times.
