Services
Dental Implants
Our dental implant service provides permanent solutions for missing teeth using Straumann titanium implants. With over 3,000 successfully placed implants and a 98% success rate, we utilise 3D imaging and guided surgery for precise placement. Patients benefit from improved chewing function, natural aesthetics, and long-term oral health benefits through our dedicated implant suite.
Composite Bonding
This cosmetic procedure uses tooth-coloured resin to repair chips, cracks, and gaps. Our precision-driven approach delivers immediate smile improvements with minimal enamel removal. The non-invasive treatment typically completed in one visit enhances tooth shape, colour, and overall appearance while maintaining natural tooth structure.
Invisalign
We offer discreet orthodontic treatment using custom-made aligner trays. Our digital workflow enables precise treatment planning with TRIOS intraoral scanners. Patients achieve straighter smiles without traditional metal braces, with treatment durations typically ranging from 6-18 months depending on individual requirements and compliance.
Teeth Whitening
Professional whitening services use advanced bleaching gels for safe, effective results. Our customised treatment plans include take-home kits and in-practice sessions that can lighten teeth by up to eight shades. The procedure addresses staining from food, drinks, and lifestyle factors while minimising sensitivity.
Facial Aesthetics
Complementary cosmetic services include anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers administered by qualified professionals. These treatments reduce fine lines and restore facial volume while maintaining natural expressions. All products meet strict safety standards with results typically visible within days.
