Services
Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment removes infected pulp from tooth nerve chambers to prevent reinfection. Our dentists use specialised chemicals and filling materials to disinfect canals and preserve tooth structure. This procedure alleviates pain caused by abscesses or deep decay while maintaining natural tooth function. Patients receive post-treatment care instructions to prevent complications like tooth fracture.
Dental Crowns
Custom dental crowns restore strength and appearance to damaged teeth. We use durable materials like porcelain, zirconia, and metal alloys to create protective caps that improve chewing function and aesthetics. The two-visit process includes tooth preparation, impression taking, and permanent cementation. Crowns also support dental bridges and protect root-treated teeth from fracture.
Teeth Veneers
Thin porcelain veneers enhance smiles by covering chipped, discoloured, or misaligned teeth. Our dentists prepare tooth surfaces, take impressions for lab fabrication, and bond custom veneers for natural aesthetics. This minimally invasive procedure offers alternatives to orthodontic treatment while maintaining tooth structure integrity through conservative enamel reshaping.
Dental Implants
Titanium dental implants provide permanent tooth replacement solutions. The surgical procedure involves embedding screws into jawbone, allowing osseointegration before attaching porcelain crowns. Implants restore chewing function and facial appearance while preventing bone loss. Patients require healthy jawbone structure and commit to rigorous oral hygiene for long-term success.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening removes stains caused by food, drinks, and smoking. We offer in-chair laser-activated treatments and custom home bleaching kits using carbamide peroxide gels. The process includes pre-treatment assessments to address sensitivity concerns and post-care advice to maintain results. Patients receive desensitising agents to manage temporary tooth sensitivity.
