General Dentistry
Our comprehensive general dentistry services focus on maintaining optimal oral health through regular check-ups, professional cleanings, and preventive treatments. We specialise in early detection of dental issues, offering fillings, root canal treatments, and emergency care. Our experienced team ensures comfortable experiences for nervous patients while maintaining high clinical standards. We prioritise long-term dental wellness through personalised care plans and patient education.
Dental Implants
Advanced dental implant solutions restore missing teeth with permanent, natural-looking replacements. Our specialists conduct thorough assessments before placing titanium posts that integrate with jawbone tissue. We provide single-tooth replacements, multiple implants, and full-arch solutions with custom crowns or bridges. The process includes detailed treatment planning using 3D imaging technology to ensure optimal placement and aesthetic results that restore both function and confidence.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Transform your smile with our range of cosmetic treatments including professional teeth whitening, veneers, and smile makeovers. Our dentists combine artistic skill with technical expertise to address discolouration, chips, and misalignment. We offer tailored solutions for improving tooth shape, position, and overall aesthetics while maintaining natural functionality. Treatments are designed to achieve balanced, harmonious results that complement facial features.
Oral Surgery
Specialised oral surgery services address complex dental issues requiring surgical intervention. Our team performs tooth extractions, including impacted wisdom teeth, with careful attention to patient comfort. We manage dental trauma cases and prepare patients for prosthetic replacements. Procedures are conducted using modern techniques to minimise discomfort and promote rapid healing, with comprehensive aftercare instructions provided.
Facial Aesthetics
Our facial aesthetics treatments combine dental expertise with cosmetic enhancement. We offer non-surgical options like dermal fillers and wrinkle relaxers to rejuvenate facial appearance. Treatments target smile lines, lip volume, and facial symmetry while maintaining natural expressions. All procedures are performed by qualified professionals focusing on subtle, natural-looking improvements that complement dental treatments.

I am an extremely nervous patient due to some past childhood experiences as well as a recent emergency dentist experience and unfortunately this has left me with a general fear of Dentists. I chose the Lighthouse dental practice as it mentioned specialising in treating nervous patience. I needed a tooth extraction due to previous childhood dentistry ineptitude and was not looking forward the the experience. Dr Tocca took great care of me during both my first consultation appointment and today when i had my extraction. I have to say thank you so much to Doctor Tocca for your incredible professionalism

I havent been to the dentist for a very long time and was very confused about what I needed and many places I called said they didnt quite understand me or said they couldnt accommodate me but I had a fantastic experience with the receptionist here called Donna, she asked me about the troubles I have been having and chatted with me about the best options I could take and the different treatments available and then even gave tips on how I can ease my pain until my appointment comes. Thank you Donna for making everything straight forward and easy for me to understand! Im excited to start

Today I had my first dental treatment with Dr Tocca @the Lighthouse Dental Practice, I just wanted to say how marvellous they all were including the receptionist, and nurses. I am not the bravest patient but they really did make the treatment pain free. I would have no hesitation in recommending this dentist to the many other nervous patients out there. Thanks all again.
