Services
Dental implants
Dental implants provide permanent tooth replacement solutions using titanium posts integrated into the jawbone. Our guided surgery techniques ensure precise placement for single or multiple missing teeth. Patients benefit from improved chewing function and natural aesthetics that mimic real teeth.
Veneers
Custom porcelain veneers transform smiles by correcting chips, gaps, and discoloration. Our same-day CEREC technology creates natural-looking restorations in one visit. Patients achieve durable, stain-resistant smiles with minimal tooth preparation.
Invisalign
Clear aligner therapy straightens teeth discreetly using custom-made plastic trays. Digital planning shows treatment progression before starting. Patients enjoy removable appliances and predictable results for mild to moderate alignment issues.
Teeth-in-a-day
This innovative procedure completes full smile transformations in 8 hours using digital workflow. Patients receive multiple veneers or crowns immediately after preparation, avoiding temporary restorations and multiple visits.
Digital dentistry
Our digital suite includes intraoral scanners, 3D imaging, and CAD/CAM milling for precision treatments. Benefits include no traditional impressions, immediate visualisation of outcomes, and enhanced treatment accuracy across all procedures.

Report
Had an appointment with the hygienist which was perfect. However I asked for an invoice to claim my insurance a month ago before I left the practice and they said they will send it asap. 9 out of 10 times they will not pick up the phone. Until now. I left voice message, I use their website to request the invoice (no email can be found) I still did not receive anything. I told them I need the invoice to claim my insurance. It just make me super frustrated. I literally call them more than 10 times and only one time they will pick up the phone and i request she send it right away she said she will

I went in to have my veneers replaced- after 12 years they weren't looking so great. From the online consultation, to the same-day procedure (totally painless and stress-free), Aviva were fantastic. I had 100% confidence in Dr Caplan at all times, and my teeth have never looked better or more natural- there's no way you could tell they're veneers at this point which is exactly what I wanted. I'm a very happy customer indeed.
