Emergency Dental Care, Dental Implants & Advanced Dentistry

 

Dental problems can be particularly stressful when you are away from home. Whether you are visiting Heraklion for a few days, spending your holiday elsewhere in Crete or living on the island, we aim to make dental care straightforward and understandable.

We help patients with unexpected dental problems as well as those considering planned treatments, including dental implants, periodontal therapy, root canal treatment, oral surgery and aesthetic restorations.

During your visit, we explain the findings, discuss the available treatment options and outline the expected number of appointments. Where clinically appropriate, treatment can be organised around your travel arrangements.

Emergency Dental Care — Assessment and treatment for urgent dental problems, subject to availability.

International Patients — Communication in English, Greek and Romanian, with planning that takes travel arrangements into account.

Dental Implants & Restorations — Individualised assessment and treatment options for missing or damaged teeth

Emergency Dentist in Heraklion — What If You Have Tooth Pain During Your Holiday?

If you develop a toothache, dental swelling, a broken tooth or another urgent dental problem while visiting Crete, contact our clinic as soon as possible.

We provide emergency dental appointments during regular working hours and may arrange appointments outside these hours by prior agreement, depending on availability.

Common reasons for an urgent dental visit include:

  • Severe or persistent toothache
  • Dental abscesses, infections or localised swelling
  • Broken or cracked teeth
  • Lost fillings or damaged crowns
  • Pain when biting or chewing
  • Dental injuries
  • Problems with existing dental restorations

The first priority is to identify the cause of the problem. Depending on the examination findings, treatment may involve a temporary restoration, root canal treatment, drainage of an infection, extraction or another appropriate procedure.

Not every dental emergency requires tooth extraction. Whenever possible and clinically appropriate, we consider options for preserving the natural tooth.

If the complete treatment cannot be finished during your stay, we can explain the necessary follow-up and provide relevant clinical information for your regular dentist.

Emergency appointments outside normal working hours must be arranged in advance. Additional fees may apply. Our clinic does not operate as a 24-hour walk-in emergency service.

If you experience rapidly spreading facial swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing, or uncontrolled bleeding, seek immediate hospital emergency care.
