Services
Routine Examinations
Regular dental assessments detect issues early, preventing costly treatments. Our thorough examinations include oral cancer screening and bite analysis. Patients receive personalised care plans based on their specific needs and risk factors.
Porcelain Veneers
Thin ceramic shells improve tooth appearance by correcting discolouration, chips, and gaps. Each veneer is custom-made to match natural teeth. The procedure typically requires two visits with minimal tooth preparation.
Root Therapy
This treatment removes infected pulp from tooth roots using modern anaesthetics. Post-treatment crowns protect weakened teeth. Our approach minimises discomfort while preserving natural dentition.
Denplan Care
Monthly payment plans cover routine and restorative treatments. Pricing depends on oral health assessment. Includes emergency cover and worldwide dental injury insurance for added peace of mind.
Teeth Whitening
Custom take-home kits use proven bleaching gels for gradual whitening. Results appear in 2-4 weeks with proper use. We provide shade guidance to achieve natural-looking brightness tailored to each patient.
