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.

A short run from Wadsley to a dentist who can see you today
Wadsley, Wadsley Bridge and the newer streets of Wadsley Park Village are close enough to Deepcar that a same-day emergency here is a genuinely short trip: 9.7 kilometres from Worrall Road, about 12 minutes by car outside the rush hour. We keep appointments free every day for people in pain, we are open seven days a week including most bank holidays, and you do not need to be a registered patient. Call 0114 288 2121 and reception will find you the first slot that day. Around eight in ten people who ring us in pain are treated during that same visit.
The Middlewood tram terminus and park and ride sit at the foot of Wadsley, which is why a fair number of our Wadsley patients arrive on the 57 bus rather than driving.
NHS urgent care for Wadsley, described plainly
For NHS urgent dental care from Wadsley the route is NHS 111, by phone or online, at any hour. The triage is round the clock; the appointments are not, and NHS South Yorkshire says you may have to travel to reach one. Charles Clifford Dental Hospital in the city centre offers a weekday urgent clinic staffed by supervised students, mornings and early afternoons only, which is worth considering on a weekday if money is tight and you can get into town.
Adult A&E for Wadsley is the Northern General on Herries Road, roughly ten minutes away, and it is the right place for swelling that is spreading towards the eye or throat, difficulty swallowing, a suspected broken jaw or bleeding that will not stop with pressure. Hospital emergency departments do not treat teeth, so an ordinary toothache will usually be sent back to a dentist with painkillers. Our guide to what counts as a dental emergency helps you decide which door to use.
The road from Worrall Road and Wadsley Park Village
From Worrall Road or Wadsley Lane, drop down to Middlewood Road, the A6102, and head north away from the city. Stay with it as it becomes Langsett Road South through Oughtibridge and Wharncliffe Side, then Manchester Road in Deepcar. The practice is on the right on the Stubbin side of Deepcar with a free car park directly in front. From Wadsley Park Village, Middlewood Drive brings you out onto Middlewood Road just below the tram terminus. From Wadsley Bridge, Penistone Road to Leppings Lane and then the A6102 is the simplest line.
By public transport, walk or take the 61 or 62 down to Hillsborough or to the tram terminus at Middlewood, then the Stagecoach 57 towards Stocksbridge. It stops on Manchester Road a short walk from the practice. Allow about half an hour on the bus; in the evening the 57 drops to hourly.
Crowns, loose teeth and bleeding gums: Wadsley's usual emergencies
Wadsley has a settled, older population and a lot of teeth that were restored decades ago. The emergencies reflect that:
- A crown or bridge that has come loose, often on a tooth that was root treated years ago and has little natural tooth left. See recementing a crown.
- An adult tooth that has started to move, which is usually advanced gum disease rather than injury and needs a proper look before it is lost. See loose adult tooth.
- Gums that bleed heavily, bleed after an extraction, or bleed together with swelling. See bleeding gums.
A crown that comes off with the tooth still inside it is a very different problem from one that leaves a broken stump behind. The first is usually a ten-minute recement; the second may need a post and a new crown, or an extraction, and only an X-ray tells you which.
Older teeth, older patients and getting into the building
Because so many Wadsley patients are in their seventies and eighties, the layout of the building matters. Our surgeries are on the ground floor with level access from the car park, so there are no stairs between the car and the chair. If you are bringing a parent who is anxious, or who takes blood thinners, say so when you book: we will want to see the medication list, and Dr George is particularly good with nervous patients. Conscious sedation is available for longer treatment; see our sedation page.
The £30 examination and what follows
The emergency examination is £30 and includes X-rays. Any treatment is priced in writing before it starts; emergency dental fees lists the starting points, and the same-day emergency appointment page explains how the visit runs from the first phone call. There is an additional charge after 6pm on weekdays and at weekends.

Questions, answered
Questions from Wadsley patients
How long does it take to drive from Wadsley to Deepcar Dental Care?
About 12 minutes: Middlewood Road becomes Langsett Road South and then Manchester Road, and the practice is on the right as you enter Deepcar. Parking is free outside.
Can I park at Middlewood and take the bus up?
Yes. The park and ride at the Middlewood tram terminus is free, and the Stagecoach 57 towards Stocksbridge leaves from the same spot and stops on Manchester Road in Deepcar.
My elderly mother's crown has come off. Can she be seen today?
Almost certainly. Bring the crown with you in a small container; most are cleaned and refitted at the first visit. The surgeries are on the ground floor and there is space for a wheelchair or walking frame.
Is a loose adult tooth a real emergency?
Yes, in the sense that it needs an examination within a day or two. If it was knocked loose it may need splinting; if it has loosened on its own it is usually gum disease, and the sooner it is looked at the better the chance of keeping it.
Do you take NHS patients from Wadsley?
We are a private practice, so emergency treatment is paid for, but no registration is needed and you can come once for the emergency and go back to your own dentist afterwards. For NHS urgent care, ring 111.
Are you open on bank holidays?
Most of them, 8am to 8pm, with emergency slots held as on any other day. The bank-holiday charge is the same as the weekend charge and is confirmed when you book.
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.
