Services
Dental Implants
Our dental implant solutions restore missing teeth with permanent, natural-looking replacements. Using advanced 3D CT scanning and guided surgery, we create tailored treatment plans for single or multiple tooth replacements. The process involves surgical placement of titanium posts followed by custom crowns, bridges or dentures. Patients benefit from improved chewing function, speech clarity and facial aesthetics while preventing bone loss associated with missing teeth.
Invisalign
Invisalign clear aligners offer a discreet alternative to traditional braces for correcting misaligned teeth. Through a series of custom-made, removable trays, we gradually shift teeth into optimal positions over 6-18 months. This technology effectively addresses crowding, spacing and bite issues while allowing normal eating and oral hygiene routines. Our practice ranks in the top 1% of Invisalign providers in Europe.
Root Canal Treatment
Specialist root canal therapy removes infected pulp from inside damaged teeth to relieve pain and preserve natural dentition. Using advanced techniques and microscopes, our endodontists clean and seal root canals with precision. This treatment saves teeth that would otherwise require extraction, with many patients reporting immediate pain relief and long-term functionality restoration.
Cosmetic Bonding
Composite bonding repairs chipped, cracked or discoloured teeth through direct application of tooth-coloured resin. This minimally invasive procedure reshapes teeth and closes gaps in a single visit. Ideal for minor cosmetic improvements, it offers immediate results with minimal enamel removal compared to veneers or crowns, while maintaining natural tooth structure.
Sedation Dentistry
We provide conscious sedation options for nervous patients undergoing complex or lengthy procedures. Administered by qualified specialists, this technique uses oral or intravenous sedatives to induce deep relaxation while maintaining patient responsiveness. It enables completion of extensive treatments in fewer visits while ensuring comfort for those with dental phobias or special needs.
