Night and Day Emergency Dentist Birmingham ★9.3

Hockley’s out-of-hours cover for other practices’ patients

This is not a surgery you join. It is where Birmingham turns when a tooth breaks at the weekend, when an abscess swells overnight, or when someone visiting the country has no dentist here at all. The branch sits in Hockley, a short walk from Birmingham City Hospital, on the Care Quality Commission register under Night and Day Dent Ltd since 2023 — one of the group’s surgeries across more than a dozen British cities. No registration, no waiting list.

Emergency treatment

The visit opens with an examination and radiographs, so the diagnosis comes before the drill. From there: drainage of swelling and infection, complex extractions, composite fillings, or the first stage of root canal therapy to settle the pain the same day. Toothache, broken and knocked-out teeth, lost fillings and crowns, painful gums, a broken denture, sports injuries and dental trouble in pregnancy are handled as urgent presentations. Hygiene therapy, crowns, bridges, veneers, bonding, whitening, implants and Invisalign are there for those who want the work finished here.

Cover for local dentists

The practice openly asks other Birmingham surgeries to send patients they cannot see, and undertakes to return each one fully to their own dentist’s care. That referral relationship, not list-building, is the model, and it shapes the waiting room: registered patients whose practice is shut, travellers, students, and people who have kept away from dentists for years.

Nervous patients and the team

Control sits with the patient — treatment moves at their pace, and a raised hand stops it. Oral and intravenous sedation is offered in some cases. Birmingham patients name Dr Waqas, Dr Nisar and Dr Haq for calm, unhurried work, and the reception and nursing team, among them Aisha, Iqram, Sanam and Afia, for the first phone call and the aftercare message afterwards.

Who it suits

People in acute pain whose own practice cannot see them, visitors and new arrivals with no British dentist, and anxious patients who need every step explained first.
