Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide a permanent solution for missing teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics. Our practice offers single and multiple implant placements, including All-on-4 techniques for full arch restoration. Using high-quality materials and guided by advanced imaging technology, we ensure precise placement and long-term success. Patients benefit from improved chewing ability, speech, and confidence, with results that feel and look natural.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening treatments effectively remove stains and brighten discoloured teeth. We offer Enlighten and Boutique Whitening systems, which provide safe, long-lasting results under professional supervision. Customized trays and take-home kits ensure convenience, while in-practice treatments deliver rapid transformation. Patients achieve a whiter smile in a few sessions, enhancing their overall appearance and self-esteem.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin shells bonded to the front of teeth to correct imperfections like chips, gaps, or discolouration. Our veneers are custom-crafted to match natural tooth colour and shape, providing a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution. The process involves minimal tooth preparation, preserving enamel while delivering a flawless, natural-looking smile.
Sedation Dentistry
Sedation dentistry helps nervous patients undergo treatments comfortably. We offer conscious sedation techniques, including oral and intravenous options, to ensure relaxation without pain. This service is ideal for complex procedures or individuals with dental phobia, allowing them to receive necessary care in a stress-free environment while maintaining safety and control.
Orthodontics
Orthodontic treatments, including Invisalign clear aligners, correct misaligned teeth and bite issues. Our tailored plans address crowding, spacing, and jaw alignment, improving both function and aesthetics. Invisaligns removable, nearly invisible trays offer a convenient alternative to traditional braces, appealing to adults and teens seeking discreet correction without compromising daily life.

Report
Dr. Neel Shah provided excellent care during my visit to have a molar filling. He explained the whole process thoroughly, and performed the cleaning expeditiously, despite its awkward positioning. The anaesthetic was injected nearly painlessly. Both Dr Shah, and the nurse Abida were very polite and pleasant to talk to.

I started my Invisalign treatment with Dental Health Centre in February 2021 and have just finished my treatment. My dentist, Dr Sunny Patel did an amazing job at getting me the results I wanted and I am so happy with my new smile! Throughout the process, Sunny answered all of my questions and kept me informed with what was going to happen next. Each stage was a breeze and I could not have asked for a better person to look after my teeth other than Sunny! Thank you so much Sunny! :)

Report
Somehow I had not been to the dentist in years, so when I finally returned in December last year (had to re-register as a new patient), Dr Martin Jessener and dental nurse Sarah have been great. I had a broken molar (no idea how), and also started to get bad toothache that I've never had before, which eventually ended up being a root canal (over a 7 month period). Good thing I had rejoined DHC! Both Martin & Sarah were really good in explaining the procedures, and made it a very comfortable environment. Shout out to hygienist Jenniene, who has also been great, and always so friendly.

Like lots of people the Dentist isn't top of the list as a place to visit, and over the years I've had lots of issues with my teeth, so lots of visits to the dentist and hospitals. Because of this I'm always a little reluctant going, but at least I know when I go to the DHC that in Martin (Dr Jessener) I feel in very safe and capable hands. Aside from being a good dentist, he's very pleasant, we always have a chat, he explains what he's doing clearly, the costs involved etc. What has been for me really good is, as a sufferer of mouth ulcers, he has taken a real interest in them, which very few

From the get go, very professional front of house with their manor and tone. Booking system and frequent calls for appointments prompt and efficient with minimal waiting times. After poor treatment and suffering from other local practices it was truly overwhelming with the service.
Sunny was amazing with his impartial advice and offering the best suggestions for treatment. Taking his advice with what I felt comfortable with I made the right decision going there. After having a root canal and several filings all healed I can honestly say what an amazing job. I would not hesitate to refer or recommend
