Services
Clear Aligners
Custom-made transparent trays gradually straighten teeth through incremental movement. Our Specialist Orthodontists design personalized treatment plans using 3D scanning technology. Treatment includes remote progress monitoring via smartphone app and regular in-person check-ins. Suitable for correcting crowding, spacing, and bite issues.
Replacement Retainers
Custom-fitted removable or bonded retainers preserve orthodontic results. Digital 3D scanning ensures precise fit without traditional impression kits. Includes protective case and care instructions. Available for both Urban Smile and external patients requiring retainer replacement.
Teeth Whitening
Professional-grade whitening using Pola Australia formulations. Options include in-chair treatment with Pola Rapid technology, custom take-home trays, or Pola Light LED kits. Treatments address staining from coffee, wine, and aging while minimizing sensitivity through advanced desensitizing formulas.
Teeth Cleaning
Professional plaque and tartar removal performed by Oral Health Therapists. Includes stain removal, gum health assessment, and personalized oral care advice. Complements orthodontic treatment by maintaining optimal dental condition before and during aligner therapy.
Tooth Gems
Swarovski crystal application using dental-grade adhesive. Non-invasive, removable adornments that attach to natural teeth. Available in two sizes with professional application and removal services. Provides cosmetic enhancement without affecting dental structure.
