Services
Dental implants
Dental implants permanently replace missing teeth using titanium posts fused with jawbone. This solution stabilises loose dentures and restores natural chewing function. Our implant specialist has placed several hundred implants since 2004, offering lifetime solutions with proper care. Patients receive comprehensive aftercare instructions to maintain implant longevity.
Invisalign
Invisalign aligners gradually reposition teeth using clear, removable trays. This discreet alternative to traditional braces suits adults and teenagers seeking cosmetic improvements. Treatment planning utilises 3D iTero scanning technology for precise digital impressions. Average treatment duration ranges from 12-18 months depending on complexity.
Children's dentistry
Specialised dental care for children includes preventive treatments and early intervention. Our dental therapists provide fillings, extractions, and oral health education tailored to young patients. The practice maintains child-friendly facilities with experienced staff trained in managing dental anxiety in children through gentle techniques.
Emergency care
Dental emergency services address tooth abscesses, trauma, and severe pain. Registered patients receive same-day appointments during practice hours. Out-of-hours emergencies are managed through established protocols ensuring continuous care access. The team handles acute infections, broken teeth, and dental pain management.
Gum disease treatment
Comprehensive gum disease management includes scaling, root planing, and surgical interventions. Certified hygienists perform deep cleaning procedures to treat gingivitis and periodontitis. Treatment focuses on preventing bone loss and maintaining oral health through tailored home care routines and regular maintenance appointments.
