Services

Dental Implants

Dental implants provide permanent solutions for missing teeth, lasting up to 30 years. Our practice offers single implants, implant bridges, and All-on-4 systems. Using advanced 3D imaging, we ensure precise placement and natural results. Patients benefit from improved speech, comfort, and confidence with fixed, non-removable teeth.

Invisalign

Invisalign straightens teeth discreetly using custom clear aligners. Suitable for adults and teens, treatment takes 12-18 months. Our Platinum Provider status ensures expert care. The process includes digital planning for predictable results, with aligners changed every two weeks to gradually shift teeth into position.

Veneers

Porcelain and composite veneers correct chips, gaps, and discoloration. Applied in 1-3 appointments, they create natural-looking smiles. Minimal tooth preparation preserves enamel. Veneers resist staining and blend seamlessly with existing teeth for long-lasting aesthetic improvements.

Teeth Whitening

Professional whitening lightens teeth up to 18 shades. Custom trays allow at-home treatment with safe bleaching gels. Results appear in 2-4 weeks, with options for touch-ups. This non-invasive procedure effectively removes stains caused by food, drinks, or aging.

Emergency Dentistry

Same-day emergency appointments address pain, broken teeth, or lost fillings. Local anaesthesia ensures comfort during repairs. Our team stabilizes issues quickly, preventing complications. Services include bridge reattachment, tooth extraction, and infection management with antibiotics when needed.

Dr Ali Rifai was professional and I am very pleased with the outcome of my Invisalign's. I have been with this practice for many years and would highly recommend. The staff are very friendly and nothing is an issue.

Im so happy to find this practice. I suffer from anxiety and high sensitivity to pain. It was very stressful for me going to dentist after years of fear. The team not only make me calm and welcome but I FELL ASLEEP during treatment with Dr Marshall ! So understanding and caring. Thank you!

Can't thank this practice enough for all their help. I don't post reviews very often, so when I do, it's because an impression has been left! Dr Ali saw me at short notice to help fix a broken tooth. The nurse (I think her name was Danni) was so helpful and kind, as were the rest of the team. Thank you for being there for me in my hour of need (the same day i asked for an appointment!)

I have been using this dentist for well over a decade and can honestly say my teeth would be in a far worse situation if wasnt for the Gentle Dental practice. My most recent visit was for a filling .. barely felt the injection! I would highly recommend this dentist to anyone, but especially if youre teeth require a high level of care like mine.

This place was recommended to me by family and for a nervous patient the best experience. The reception welcome is cheerful and friendly, beautifully modern area with hot drinks and water on offer. I needed implants, crowns and bridges followed by whitening, so lots of appointments. My dentist Mr Ali Rafai was superb from start to finish, so professional and personable. Throughout the whole process I was cared for wonderfully plus lots of laughs along the way. The constant care during appointments was very comforting, no rushing, and I knew I my needs were Mr Rafai's priority. Plus check up call

Fantastic experience with Ali. It took 18 months including bone grafting, removing and replacing failed dental implants, invisaline for my bottom teeth which were all over the place and some veneers but now I'm delighted with the outcome.
Ali was always very clear about how this wasn't an overnight solution in an honest and forthright manner which gave me confidence that he would deliver results. I was offered several overnight solutions from other dentists locally at a fraction of the cost but when I see how much effort and detail that went into my plan, I know i made the right choice.

The best dentist experience I ever had. Complex work completed by Dr Marshall and the team is outstanding. Every step was clearly explained before the procedure and then very well communicated during the process. I highly recommend Gentle Dental.
