Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium fixtures surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. Our guided surgery techniques ensure precise placement, while bone grafting options enable treatment for patients with reduced bone density. The process typically takes 4-6 months, resulting in permanent, natural-looking replacements that function like original teeth.
Smile Makeovers
Customised smile transformations combine dental implants, porcelain veneers, and crowns to address multiple aesthetic concerns. Treatment plans address gaps, discolouration, and misalignment, with options ranging from full Hollywood-style makeovers to targeted improvements using minimal-prep veneers and teeth whitening procedures.
Porcelain Veneers
Thin porcelain shells bonded to tooth fronts correct shape, colour, and alignment issues. Available as minimal-prep or no-prep options, veneers provide durable, stain-resistant solutions for closing gaps, covering chips, and creating uniform smiles. Full sets typically require 2-4 weeks for preparation and fitting.
General Dentistry
Comprehensive dental maintenance includes white composite fillings, preventive hygiene appointments, and oral health assessments. Our approach prioritises minimally invasive treatments using mercury-free materials, with regular check-ups recommended every 3-6 months depending on individual risk factors.
Clear Aligners
Invisalign and Straumann Clear Correct aligners offer discreet tooth straightening solutions for adults. Customised treatment plans address mild to moderate misalignment, with removable trays allowing normal eating and cleaning habits. Average treatment duration ranges from 6-18 months based on case complexity.

Questions
What dental implant technologies do you use?
We utilise X-guide navigated surgery, 3D imaging, and Nobel Biocare guided systems for precise implant placement. These technologies enable minimally invasive procedures with enhanced accuracy and faster recovery times.
Can I get same-day dental implants?
Yes, we offer immediate loading techniques including All-on-4 for full arch replacements. This allows temporary teeth to be fitted on the same day as implant placement, with permanent restorations after healing.
Are veneers suitable for severely damaged teeth?
Veneers effectively address chips, cracks, and discolouration. For extensive damage, we may recommend crowns or combined treatments. Our dentists assess individual cases to determine the most appropriate restoration method.
How do I maintain dental implants?
Implants require regular brushing, flossing, and annual professional check-ups. We recommend maintenance appointments every 6-12 months to ensure long-term success and early detection of potential issues.
Do you offer orthodontic treatments?
Yes, we provide Clear Aligner treatments including Invisalign and Straumann Clear Correct for adults seeking discreet tooth straightening solutions alongside cosmetic dental work.
What payment options are available?
We accept major credit/debit cards and offer payment plans for extensive treatments. Full payment details are discussed during consultation, with flexible options available for qualifying patients.
