Services
Check-up + X-Rays
Regular examinations and X-rays prevent future complications by monitoring teeth, gums, and oral health. Our dentists provide brushing guidance and early issue detection during 15-30 minute appointments. X-rays are recommended every 18-24 months to ensure comprehensive care.
Emergency Dental
We prioritise urgent cases like toothaches, fractures, and lost fillings. Our team offers immediate triage advice and timely appointments, with treatments ranging from reimplanting knocked-out teeth to managing abscesses. Appointments typically last 30-45 minutes for prompt relief.
Dental Implants
Implants replace missing teeth with titanium roots and crowns, mimicking natural function. Treatment involves specialist collaboration over 3-6 months, including surgical placement and custom crown fitting. Ideal for restoring smiles permanently and securely.
Kids Dentistry
We introduce children to dentistry from age six months, building comfort through gradual visits. Services include routine checks, habit modification, and early intervention, with appointments tailored to each childs pace. Education on home care supports lifelong oral health habits.
Hygiene Services
Our hygienists remove plaque and tartar above and below the gumline, polishing teeth and screening for gum disease. We recommend biannual visits, with deeper cleanings available for patients requiring extra care. Personalised brushing and flossing advice enhances at-home routines.
