Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants replace missing teeth using titanium screws fused with the jawbone. Our oral surgeon, Dr. Conor McEnhill, holds advanced qualifications in implant dentistry, ensuring precise placement and natural results. Patients benefit from restored chewing function, improved aesthetics, and prevention of bone loss. We use 3D CT scans for accurate planning and offer bone grafting techniques to maximise success rates.
Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment removes infected pulp from damaged teeth. Led by specialist Dr. Brian Vaughan, our endodontic services utilise CBCT imaging for complex cases. This procedure saves natural teeth, alleviates pain, and prevents further infection. Patients receive detailed explanations of the process and aftercare to ensure long-term success.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening brightens discoloured teeth using custom trays and Zoom technology. Dr. Joanne Redpath, a finalist in aesthetic dentistry awards, supervises treatments that safely remove stains while maintaining enamel integrity. Results are achieved in one session or through at-home maintenance, with patients reporting significant confidence boosts from their brighter smiles.
Crowns & Bridges
Crowns restore damaged teeth while bridges replace missing ones. We use metal-free ceramic materials for natural aesthetics. The process involves two visits with temporary restorations provided. Patients gain improved tooth strength, bite alignment, and smile appearance. Our crowns are colour-matched to existing teeth for seamless integration.
Hygienist Services
Our hygienists provide preventive care and periodontal treatment. Zara McKibbin, winner of Best Dental Care Professional in NI, educates patients on plaque control and performs deep cleanings. Regular sessions prevent gum disease, maintain implant health, and support overall wellness. Personalised home care advice ensures lasting oral health improvements.
