About
What counts as a dental emergency?
A dental emergency is any acute oral condition requiring prompt attention — typically severe pain, bleeding, swelling, dental trauma, or a broken restoration that compromises function or comfort.
Common emergencies include: severe toothache (often signalling infection or nerve damage), broken or chipped teeth from trauma, lost crowns or fillings, soft-tissue injuries, and acute infections (abscesses).
At Rodin, same-day emergency consultations are available during clinic hours for both existing patients and international visitors. For after-hours concerns, contacting us via LINE or WhatsApp helps us advise and arrange the earliest possible appointment.

For international patients
Emergency care for visitors and residents
Most emergencies are addressed in a single visit; complex cases requiring root canal or crown work may need 2–3 additional appointments. Visitors with limited time should contact us early so we can stage treatment effectively.
Pre-arrival online consultation
A doctor reviews your photographs and history before you travel, and replies in writing within two business days with a preliminary plan.
Hotel & access guidance
We can recommend hotels within walking distance of the clinic in Onarimon / Minato-ku, and provide written directions in your preferred language.
Interpretation support
Care is delivered in English by default. Mandarin, Korean, and Spanish support is available for consultations on request.
Aftercare from your home country
Video follow-ups and written records in English. Where local in-person care is needed, we coordinate with a referral network of trusted clinics.
Risks & considerations
Risks & considerations
Every dental procedure carries some risk. The points below outline what most patients can expect. Your individual risk profile is discussed in detail during your consultation, and any case-specific considerations are noted in writing as part of your treatment plan.
- Some emergencies can only be stabilised initially with definitive treatment over multiple appointments.
- Severe infections may require antibiotics before treatment can begin.
- Delaying emergency care can convert simple cases into complex ones (e.g. saving a tooth becomes extraction).
- Some emergency restorations are temporary by nature — permanent treatment is required to prevent failure.
Not suitable for
- Life-threatening symptoms (difficulty breathing, severe facial swelling with fever) — call emergency services first.
Concerns addressed
Common questions from international patients
Will language be a barrier?
No. Our team provides care fully in English, with additional support available in Mandarin, Korean, and Spanish. Treatment plans, consent forms, and aftercare instructions are issued in your preferred language.
Are there hidden costs?
No. Every estimate is issued in writing before treatment begins, with all-inclusive pricing covering consultation, imaging, materials, the procedure itself, and routine follow-up. Anything not included is disclosed explicitly.
What about post-treatment care after I return home?
We provide remote video consultations and written aftercare instructions in your language. If urgent attention is required, we maintain a referral network of trusted clinics in major cities and coordinate directly with your local dentist.
How long do I need to stay in Tokyo?
Stay length depends on the treatment — see the section above for the typical timeline. Your final itinerary is confirmed after the online consultation so flights and accommodation can be planned with confidence.
Common questions
Frequently asked
Can I get same-day emergency dental care in Tokyo?
+
Yes — Rodin offers same-day emergency consultations during clinic hours (Mon–Sat 09:00–18:00, lunch break 13:00–14:00). Contact us as early as possible by phone, LINE, or WhatsApp; we arrange the earliest available slot.
How much does an emergency dental visit cost?
+
The initial emergency consultation is ¥19,900, including examination, imaging if needed, immediate pain management, and a written treatment plan. Definitive treatment (filling, crown, root canal, extraction) is quoted separately.
What if I'm a visitor with limited time in Tokyo?
+
Contact us as early as possible. We prioritise same-day care for visitors and coordinate any staged treatment with your home dentist. Records and x-rays are issued in English for continuity of care abroad.
I lost a crown — can you re-cement it?
+
Yes, if the crown is intact and the underlying tooth is stable, re-cementation is often possible in a single visit. Decay or fracture under the crown may require a new restoration.
Can you handle dental trauma from an accident?
+
Yes — trauma involving knocked-out, broken, or displaced teeth requires same-day assessment. If a tooth has been completely knocked out, keep it moist (in milk or saliva) and contact us immediately.
Do you offer after-hours emergency care?
+
Contacting us by LINE or WhatsApp outside clinic hours allows us to triage and advise. We arrange the earliest in-clinic appointment, typically the next morning. For severe pain or trauma overnight, hospital emergency rooms may be appropriate.
Do you accept international insurance for emergencies?
+
We provide detailed English invoices for international insurance claims. Direct billing is not available; reimbursement is claimed through your insurer after payment.
What if I need sedation for emergency treatment?
+
IV sedation by a licensed anesthesiologist is available for anxious patients or complex emergency procedures. See IV Sedation Dentistry for details.
