Services
Tooth Coloured Fillings
Tooth-coloured composite resin fillings restore decayed teeth while maintaining natural aesthetics. These durable restorations bond directly to tooth structure, requiring less removal of healthy enamel compared to traditional amalgam. Patients benefit from discreet repairs that match their natural tooth shade, with immediate functionality for eating and speaking.
Invisible Braces
SmileTRU clear aligners gradually straighten teeth without traditional metal brackets. Custom-made plastic trays apply controlled force to reposition teeth over time. This discreet orthodontic solution allows removable wear for meals and cleaning, with treatment typically completed within 6-18 months depending on individual requirements.
Dental Implants
Permanent tooth replacement solutions using titanium posts anchored in the jawbone. Implants support crowns, bridges or dentures for stable, natural-looking results. This treatment requires sufficient bone density and integrates with oral structures for long-term functionality, typically involving multiple surgical and restorative stages.
Root Treatments
Endodontic procedures remove infected pulp tissue from tooth roots to preserve natural dentition. Using specialised instruments and disinfectants, we clean and seal root canal systems to eliminate infection. Post-treatment crowns often recommended to protect weakened teeth, with success rates exceeding 90% for properly maintained cases.
Dentures
Custom-fabricated removable prosthetics replace multiple missing teeth. Flexible resin frameworks provide comfortable wear compared to traditional acrylic bases. Complete and partial dentures restore chewing function and facial aesthetics, requiring regular adjustments and professional cleaning to maintain optimal fit and hygiene.
