Services
Dental Implants
Our dental implant service provides permanent tooth replacement solutions using Swiss-made Straumann implants. With over 6,000 implants placed since 2004, we offer single tooth replacements, full arch solutions like All-on-4, and complex cases requiring bone augmentation. Our specialists use advanced 3D imaging and operating microscopes to ensure precise placement and long-term success, with 500+ procedures performed annually.
Bone Grafting
We specialise in bone augmentation procedures to support successful implant placement. Our services include sinus lifts, block bone grafts, and socket preservation techniques. These procedures address bone loss from trauma or long-term tooth loss, creating stable foundations for implants. Our team has performed hundreds of grafting procedures, with dedicated healing periods incorporated into treatment plans.
All-on-4
The All-on-4 solution replaces entire arches of missing teeth using just four strategically placed implants. This innovative approach provides immediate function with a fixed denture, avoiding the need for extensive bone grafting in many cases. Our experience with complex reconstructions ensures natural aesthetics and improved chewing function for patients seeking comprehensive smile transformations.
Root Canal Therapy
Our specialist endodontic treatment preserves natural teeth through advanced root canal procedures. Using operating microscopes and 3D imaging, we accurately treat infected or damaged pulp tissue. This service addresses traumatic injuries and failing restorations, often preventing the need for extraction and subsequent implant placement while maintaining natural tooth structure.
Composite Bonding
We offer composite bonding for repairing chipped, cracked, or discoloured teeth. This minimally invasive procedure uses tooth-coloured resin to restore natural appearance and function. Our clinicians apply advanced techniques to match existing tooth shade and structure, providing immediate aesthetic improvements while preserving maximum natural tooth material.
