Services
Fillings
We provide durable fillings for treating tooth decay and minor damage. Our composite resin fillings match natural tooth colour for discreet restoration. The procedure involves removing decayed material, cleaning the affected area, and filling the cavity to prevent further damage. This treatment helps maintain tooth structure integrity while preventing bacterial infection.
Crowns
Custom-made crowns restore severely damaged or weakened teeth. We use high-quality ceramic materials to create natural-looking restorations that match surrounding teeth. The process involves preparing the affected tooth, taking impressions, and fitting a permanent crown to improve strength and appearance. Crowns protect compromised teeth while maintaining functional bite alignment.
Hygienist Services
Our hygienists offer thorough cleaning treatments to maintain oral health. Services include scaling and polishing, air-flow stain removal, and biofilm therapy. Regular hygiene appointments help prevent gum disease by removing plaque and tartar buildup. Patients receive personalised advice on home care routines and preventative measures tailored to their specific needs.
Root Canal Treatment
Specialist treatment for infected or damaged tooth pulp. We use advanced techniques to remove infected tissue, clean root canals, and seal the tooth to prevent reinfection. This procedure saves natural teeth that would otherwise require extraction. Post-treatment crowns are often recommended to protect the treated tooth's structural integrity.
Teeth Whitening
Professional whitening treatments brighten discoloured teeth using safe, effective solutions. We offer custom tray systems and in-practice whitening options. The process removes surface stains and deep-set discolouration while minimising tooth sensitivity. Patients receive aftercare instructions to maintain results and protect enamel health.
