Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent solutions for missing teeth, offering secure anchorage for crowns, bridges, or dentures. Our principal dentist has over 20 years' experience placing implants using advanced imaging technology. Patients benefit from restored chewing function, improved aesthetics, and long-term oral health maintenance through this treatment.
Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign offers discreet orthodontic correction using custom-made clear aligners. This treatment addresses crooked teeth, spacing issues, and bite problems without traditional braces. Patients appreciate the removable nature and aesthetic advantages while achieving properly aligned smiles through our dentists' expertise.
Nervous Patient Care
We specialise in treating anxious patients through conscious sedation and empathetic communication techniques. Our team dedicates extra time to explain procedures while providing physical comfort measures. This approach helps patients overcome dental fears while maintaining essential oral health treatments.
Children's Dentistry
Our practice welcomes children from age 2 with dedicated examination sessions and preventive care plans. We offer child-friendly facilities including play areas and positive reinforcement techniques. Parents receive tailored advice on home care routines and early dental development monitoring.
Emergency Appointments
We reserve daily slots for dental emergencies, prioritising same-day treatment for severe pain or trauma. Our team handles extractions, infections, and broken teeth with immediate attention. Registered patients receive after-hours emergency contact details for weekend or holiday incidents.

As an extremely nervous patient the team at the smile centre, from the receptionist to the hygienist to the dentist are very understanding and caring. Thank you for making a very anxious time easier to cope with.

Report
We have always been very pleased with the treatments and friendly welcome we have received for over 25 years. In these Covid times it is also especially reassuring to see the very professional way in which the surgery is dealing with the issue. The check in procedure and care taken in preparing surgeries for treatment are thorough and welcome. Thank you.
