Services
Dental Implants
Our dental implant specialists restore missing teeth using the industry-leading Straumann system. With over 20 years of experience placing single implants to full mouth reconstructions, we create permanent solutions that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. Patients benefit from improved chewing ability, facial structure preservation, and renewed confidence in their smile.
Emergency Dentist
We prioritise same-day treatment for dental emergencies including severe pain, broken teeth, lost fillings, and facial swelling. Our experienced team provides immediate relief through procedures like temporary restorations, pain management, and infection control. Emergency patients receive thorough diagnostics followed by both short-term solutions and long-term treatment planning to prevent future complications.
Invisalign
This discreet orthodontic treatment straightens teeth using custom-made, removable aligners. Our certified practitioners create digital treatment plans showing gradual tooth movement over time. Patients enjoy the aesthetic benefits of nearly invisible braces while maintaining normal eating and oral hygiene routines, with regular check-ups ensuring proper progression through each aligner stage.
Teeth Whitening
Professional whitening treatments deliver superior results compared to over-the-counter products. We offer custom-fitted trays for home use and in-practice laser whitening for faster effects. Our dentists assess enamel condition beforehand to ensure safe application, providing lasting results that enhance natural tooth colour while minimising sensitivity through specialised desensitising protocols.
Oral Surgery
We perform complex tooth removals including impacted wisdom teeth and problematic extractions. Using local anaesthesia and sedation options, our surgeons prioritise patient comfort while minimising post-operative complications. Procedures follow strict aseptic techniques with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and prepare for subsequent restorative treatments when required.

It was all exceedingly well organised, efficient. Everyone used PPE and you can feel very safe coming for an appointment. The Hygienist and the Dentist I saw were very kind, efficient & maintained full protection at all times. I have been coming to this dental practice for years and I would recommend them.

Such an amazing practice, I wish I'd found them sooner. The staff are lovely and friendly, talked me through my procedure in depth, took time and trouble with my crown fitting. Did everything so well given the current pandemic regulations, I would definitely recommend to anyone.

The whole experience was efficiently carried out, reception met me at the entrance and I was ushered directly into the Hygienist room where I was given a friendly yet professional welcome. All Corona-virus procedures were carried out and a thorough examination took place, resulting in a further appointment to see the dentist which was made immediately afterwards with the receptionist.
