I wouldn't really like to drive 500 miles in a single day, let alone have dental treatment.

I think it depends on what you are used to, I happily drive over 900 miles back from Spain in a day.

Absolutely.

My OH who used to drive a long distance to and from work would have had a different opinion to me when he was still working.

But I thought it was worth mentioning.

Indeed. However, we are not clear if the OP is experienced in that area, nor do we know if they are being driven, using public transport, staying overnight and there is always a greater possibility of having a vehicle breakdown, or accident, etc, etc. Therefore, during lock-down, one would need to weigh up all the risks during a 500 mile round trip in possibly a day and the consequences of any mishaps and risks to others and themselves.
IMHO, I would be hard pushed to meet someone that would do a 500 round trip for a dental trip and the risk of this dental work not being spot on then having to return to have it sorted out.
The above is what I would consider along with the urgency of the work. As I said OP, I hope it goes all well for you whatever you do.

After having, say, a local anaesthetic?

I don't think the point was that 500 miles in itself is too much, but that depending on the dental treatment they have, it may not mix well with a lengthy drive home.
