Services
Preventive Dentistry
Our preventive approach focuses on maintaining optimal oral health through regular check-ups, professional cleanings, and fluoride treatments. We educate patients on effective home care routines while addressing early signs of dental issues. This proactive strategy helps avoid complex treatments by identifying potential problems at an early stage.
Restorative Treatments
We specialise in restoring damaged teeth using modern composite fillings that match natural tooth colour. Our treatments address decay and structural damage while preserving maximum tooth integrity. Advanced techniques ensure durable, aesthetically pleasing results that maintain your natural smile.
Root Canal Therapy
Our skilled dentists perform root canal treatments to eliminate infection while preserving natural teeth. Using precision instruments and local anaesthesia, we remove infected pulp material and seal root canals. This procedure prevents abscess formation and maintains dental function without extraction.
Orthodontics
We offer Sure Smile invisible aligners for discreet teeth straightening. Custom-made removable trays gradually reposition teeth without traditional braces. This solution addresses both minor adjustments and complex alignment issues while maintaining aesthetic appearance during treatment.
Dental Implants
Implant solutions replace missing teeth with permanent, natural-looking alternatives. Our surgical team places titanium fixtures into the jawbone, supporting crowns or bridges that mimic natural tooth function. This treatment restores complete dental function while preventing bone loss associated with tooth loss.

Report
I just wanted to say a huge thank you to Michael King for giving me excellent emergency advice last week over the telephone. He reassured me given the limited options available due to the Covid 19 pandemic. I have now had my tooth taken out at the hospital and am pain free. Thank you

All the staff are very friendly and helpful. Was put at ease before and during the treatment I received. Very clean and bright waiting area. The surgery is modern and well equipped. Ample (chargeable) parking close by.
