Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants replace missing teeth using titanium screws integrated into the jawbone. This permanent solution restores natural tooth function and appearance while preventing bone loss. Ideal for patients seeking stable, long-term tooth replacement without affecting adjacent teeth.
Tooth Whitening
Professional home whitening kits use custom trays and dental-grade gel to brighten smiles safely. The 14-16 day treatment effectively removes stains while maintaining enamel integrity. Supervised by dentists to ensure suitability and optimal results for discoloured teeth.
Root Fillings
Root canal treatment removes infected pulp from damaged teeth, preventing extraction. The procedure cleans and seals tooth interiors, preserving natural structure while eliminating pain. Often required before crown placement to restore severely decayed teeth.
Crowns
Crowns restore strength and appearance to weakened teeth using custom-made porcelain or ceramic coverings. The process involves tooth preparation, temporary fitting, and permanent cementation. Available in multiple materials to match natural teeth aesthetics and functional needs.
Invisalign
Invisalign straightens teeth using nearly invisible removable aligners changed every 1-2 weeks. The discreet orthodontic treatment corrects misalignment in as little as three months. Includes 15% introductory discount for treatments starting in 2023.
