I called Friday evening to see if they had emergency appointments due to serious tooth pain. They were very polite and willing to accommodate. Due to me being a 45-minute drive away — the closest dentist I could find on Google that was open — they assured me they would see me when I got there. Upon arrival the staff were so polite and welcoming. The expertise and advice before the procedure was amazing. Definitely worth the trip to get the pain away. 100% recommend them.

Two neighbourhoods, one route north: Ranmoor and Bents Green
Ranmoor and Bents Green sit either side of Fulwood, and both send us a steady flow of emergency patients: students from the University of Sheffield's Ranmoor and Endcliffe villages who are a long way from their home dentist, and families from the streets around Bents Green and Ringinglow Road who want to be seen at the weekend. The trip is 16 to 18 kilometres depending on where you start and takes about 25 minutes. Deepcar Dental Care keeps emergency appointments open every day, opens at 8am and closes at 8pm, and the overnight line is answered personally by Dr Ibraheem Ijaz, the principal dentist. Around eight in ten people who ring in pain are treated the same day.
Students, families and the NHS: urgent options near Fulwood Road
If you are a student, NHS 111 is the first place to try for NHS care; their dental triage is available 24 hours a day, though urgent appointments are limited and may be some distance away. The University Health Service points students to Charles Clifford Dental Hospital, on Wellesley Road at the bottom of the hill from Ranmoor, which runs a free weekday urgent clinic staffed by supervised students between 9 and 11 in the morning and 2 and 3 in the afternoon. Outside those hours, on Saturdays and Sundays, or when the clinic is full, a private emergency dentist is the alternative. For a swollen face that is closing an eye, difficulty swallowing or breathing, or bleeding that will not stop, adults go to the Northern General on Herries Road and children to Sheffield Children's Hospital on Western Bank.
From St John's spire and Ringinglow Road to Manchester Road, Deepcar
From Ranmoor, with St John's spire behind you, head down Fulwood Road towards Broomhill and take Crookes Road up through Crookes, then Northfield Road, Heavygate Road and Walkley Road to Langsett Road, joining Middlewood Road, the A6102, at Hillsborough. Follow it north through Oughtibridge and Wharncliffe Side; it becomes Manchester Road in Deepcar and the practice is on the right with free parking in front. If Crookes is busy, Fulwood Road west to Crosspool and the A57 to Rivelin Valley Road brings you to Malin Bridge and the same Middlewood Road.
From Bents Green and Ringinglow Road, come down Ecclesall Road to Hunter's Bar, then Brocco Bank, Western Bank and the A61 to Penistone Road, turning onto the A6102 at Parkside Road; allow 25 to 30 minutes. By public transport, the 120 along Fulwood Road into the centre, the tram to Middlewood and the 57 bus up the valley is about an hour and a quarter.
Wisdom teeth, knocked teeth and mouthguards: the S10 and S11 pattern
The mix from these two neighbourhoods is younger than most of our catchment:
- Wisdom teeth erupting in the late teens and twenties, with an infected gum flap over the top. Cleaning under the flap and placing a dressing settles most within a day or two. See irrigation and antibiotic dressing.
- Teeth knocked, chipped or pushed out of line in hockey, rugby and five-a-side. See tooth trauma.
- A front tooth loosened by a blow, which can usually be splinted to its neighbours for a couple of weeks while the ligament heals. See splinting a loose tooth.
A custom mouthguard made from a scan of your teeth is far more comfortable than a boil-and-bite one, and students who wear them for contact sport rarely appear on this page.
What the visit costs and how to pay on a student budget
The emergency examination is £30 including X-rays, which suits a student budget better than most alternatives. Treatment is priced in writing before you agree to it and card payments are accepted; for larger work, finance through Tabeo is available subject to status. Prices are on emergency dental fees, and the same-day emergency appointment page explains how the visit runs from the first phone call.

Questions, answered
Questions from Ranmoor & Bents Green patients
I am a student in Ranmoor with no dentist in Sheffield. Can you see me?
Yes. No registration is needed and being registered with a dentist at home makes no difference. Ring 0114 288 2121, and bring some ID and a note of any medication you take.
How do I get from Ranmoor to Deepcar without a car?
The 120 bus along Fulwood Road into the city centre, the Yellow route tram to the Middlewood terminus, then the Stagecoach 57 towards Stocksbridge, which stops on Manchester Road in Deepcar. Allow about an hour and a quarter.
Is Charles Clifford Dental Hospital closer to Ranmoor than Deepcar?
Yes, it is a short walk down the hill. Its urgent clinic is free but runs only on weekday mornings and early afternoons. For evenings, weekends and for being seen by a qualified dentist the same day, people come to us.
My son has knocked a front tooth loose playing rugby. What should I do?
Do not wiggle it or push it back yourself. Keep him on soft food, hold a cold compress on the lip for the swelling and ring us; a loose adult tooth is usually splinted to its neighbours the same day, and the sooner the better.
How long is the drive from Bents Green?
About 25 to 30 minutes via Ecclesall Road, the A61 and the A6102 through Hillsborough, with free parking when you arrive.
Can I pay by card, and is there finance?
Yes to both. Cards are accepted for the examination and treatment, and finance through Tabeo, 0% over 6 to 18 months, is available for larger amounts subject to status.
In their own words
Patients who travelled to us in pain.
Dr Ibrahim helped me today with a difficult extraction. He is my hero for the dedication, skill and professionalism shown today. It was a tough one but wow. I was in so much pain and he saved me from it. I am eternally grateful to him. Just brilliant.
Visited today for a private emergency appointment. The practice was very clean and tidy, the staff very friendly and helpful. They really listened to my concerns and put me at ease. Addressed the problem and extracted my tooth — nothing was too much trouble. Swift service — top notch.
