Professional emergency dental care for patients from West Derby
West Derby is one of the closest named service areas to the Fazakerley clinic. The historic village is a clear centre, while the wider district extends towards Croxteth Hall and Queens Drive. Patients on the western side may have an even shorter journey than the published reference estimate.

The area is associated with West Derby Village, West Derby Courthouse, Croxteth Hall and Country Park and Muirhead Avenue. Its postcode coverage is mainly L12 and parts of L13; postcode boundaries are approximate and do not restrict who can book.
If tooth pain, swelling, a broken tooth or a lost restoration is disrupting your day, contact the team before travelling. New patients are welcome and do not need to register for ongoing care. The dentist will assess the problem and explain suitable treatment and costs before proceeding.
