Services
Oral Health Examinations
Our comprehensive dental exams for children include caries risk assessment, trauma evaluation, and oral cancer screening. Using digital radiography, we detect hidden issues early while educating families on preventive care. Regular check-ups help maintain optimal oral health through tailored hygiene advice and early intervention strategies.
Preventive Dental Care
We focus on early preventive measures including fluoride treatments, dietary advice, and habit counselling. Our hygienists provide age-appropriate cleaning sessions while teaching children proper brushing techniques. This proactive approach prevents decay and establishes lifelong oral care routines through parental education and child-friendly demonstrations.
Habit Counselling
Our specialists address harmful oral habits like thumb sucking and pacifier use that affect dental development. Through age-appropriate explanations and positive reinforcement techniques, we help children overcome these behaviours. We provide practical strategies to parents for creating supportive home environments that encourage habit cessation.
Tooth Repair
We perform fillings, crowns, and pulp treatments for primary teeth using child-friendly techniques. White fillings and stainless steel crowns restore function while maintaining aesthetics. Our specialists prioritise preserving primary teeth to guide proper eruption of permanent dentition through minimally invasive restorative approaches.
Dental Injuries
Emergency treatment for fractured, displaced, or knocked-out teeth is available evenings and weekends. Our specialists use advanced imaging to assess damage and develop tailored treatment plans. We provide immediate care for dental trauma in both primary and permanent teeth, focusing on preserving dental structures and minimising long-term complications.

Report
We had a dental emergency with my toddler at 6pm. We were able to communicate with the dentist that same evening and they made an appointment available at 8:30am the next day. We saw a lovely dentist who gave the treatment/reassurance we needed. Very much recommend them.

Report
We are so happy with WPD. My son has had to have 2 teeth extracted, one at 3,5 years old and one just recently, at the age of 7. Dr. Kalkani is just incredible. Her calmness and confidence, as well as her amazing communication skills work so well with children. She establishes a solid trust relationship with her young patients, so they simply follow her clear instructions. We are so grateful to her for giving our son the best dentistry treatment possible, without creating any sense of fear. Our son says he has the best dentist, we think he is right . 7 stars to our amazing dentist, Dr. Kalkani

My daughter has been coming to this dentist for a couple of years now. She considers it to be a real treat in the school holidays! The dentists and hygienists are lovely and the service is always exceptional. I could not recommend more highly.
