Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent tooth replacement solutions using titanium screws integrated into the jawbone. Our specialists perform comprehensive assessments to ensure bone density suitability before placing implants that support crowns, bridges, or dentures. With success rates exceeding 95%, our implantology service combines advanced technology with meticulous aftercare to ensure long-term functionality and natural aesthetics.
Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign offers discreet teeth straightening using custom-made, removable aligners. Our certified practitioners utilise iTERO scanning technology to create precise 3D treatment plans showing expected outcomes before starting treatment. This service caters to adults and teenagers seeking aesthetic orthodontic solutions without traditional metal braces, with average treatment durations between 12-18 months.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening services deliver dramatic smile enhancements using safe, regulated bleaching techniques. Our dentists assess enamel condition before applying custom-fitted trays or in-practice treatments that lighten teeth by 6-8 shades. We provide take-home kits with professional-strength gel and offer maintenance plans to preserve results while minimising sensitivity risks.
Root Canal Treatment
Specialist root canal treatments address infected or damaged tooth pulp using advanced rotary instrumentation and 3D imaging. Our dentists remove infected tissue, disinfect root canals, and seal them to prevent reinfection. Post-treatment crowns are recommended to protect treated teeth, with success rates exceeding 90% when performed with proper aftercare.
Children's Dentistry
Our child-friendly dental service focuses on preventive care and early intervention. Qualified therapists provide fillings, extractions, and fluoride treatments using gentle techniques. We offer direct access appointments for children and implement positive reinforcement strategies to establish lifelong oral hygiene habits in a welcoming environment designed for young patients.

I was told I was late for the appointment when I turned up. According to my diary I was 7 min early, but the receptionist kept telling me I was ten min late and they wouldn't see me after I was waiting for her to finish the phone call for 5 min. I would be 3 min late according to their time. She was blaming to for putting the time wrong on my diary, and said she confirmed with me, but they never mentioned the time when confirming.
I couldn't understand a word of the previously lady who confirmed the appointment, never alone the time being confirmed. I saw a patient coming out of the room while I was on the conversation with the receptionist, so if they saw the next patient, I don't understand why they cannot fill me in? I tried to ring them the previous week for 3 times, nobody answered the calls. The recaption wasn't happy when I mention it to her, she said they had 2 phones and she can't be in both places to answer the call. Guess I wasn't lucky then. Very disappointed at the whole experience.

Excellent service. I was expecting 2 years for my Invisalign treatment to be completed but it was done in 6 months! The whole team was professional and friendly. I would recommend them to anyone.

This is by far the best dental practice I have ever had treatment with. The reception staff are wonderful ,as soon as you walk in the room you are greeted with your name, and make you feel so relaxed. I cant praise the dentist enough, what a lovely man he is . My filling was painless (even the injection) I cant praise this practice enough.

Best dentist I have ever been too. I was seriously nervous before going as I had put it off for so long. Extremely professional, can't recommend highly enough!
