Services
Invisalign
Invisalign straightens teeth using clear, removable aligners tailored to your 3D dental scan. Each aligner gradually shifts teeth, requiring changes every 1-2 weeks. Remote monitoring via Dental Monitoring ensures treatment efficiency, with virtual consultations for personalized guidance. Ideal for adults and teens seeking discreet orthodontic solutions without dietary restrictions.
Lingual Braces
Lingual braces are metal braces fitted behind teeth for maximum discretion. They may initially affect speech but adapt over time. Suitable for patients prioritizing aesthetics, including celebrities. Regular adjustments ensure precise tooth movement while maintaining a natural appearance during treatment.
White Braces
White braces use tooth-coloured brackets and wires for a discreet aesthetic. Fixed in place, they resist staining and blend with natural teeth. Ideal for adults seeking subtle correction without compromising treatment effectiveness or durability during daily activities.
Braces for Musicians
Specialized orthodontic care for wind and brass musicians, optimizing embouchure and breath flow. Treatment considers instrument-specific needs, using Invisalign or lingual braces to minimize impact on playing. Collaborative approach with music professionals ensures functional and cosmetic improvements for enhanced performance confidence.
Braces for Brides
Tailored orthodontic plans for pre-wedding confidence, offering removable or hidden braces like Invisalign. Treatment timelines (6-24 months) are managed to complete before the big day. Temporary brace removal on request ensures photo-ready smiles without compromising long-term dental health.

I needed an appointment as one of my front implants had broken. I got an appointment the next day,the service I received was excellent from all the staff at the practice. We discussed my options and the dentist was completely transparent with costs,I wasn't put under any pressure to choose an expensive treatment. I chose to have an extra tooth added to my plate and it was ready 48 hours later brilliant thanks Steve thain
