Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent solutions for missing teeth, restoring function and confidence. Our specialists use titanium posts that fuse with jawbone for lasting results. Ideal for single or multiple tooth replacements, implants prevent bone loss and maintain facial structure.
Invisalign
Invisalign straightens teeth discreetly using custom-made clear trays. This orthodontic solution addresses crowding and misalignment without traditional braces. Treatment involves periodic tray changes for gradual tooth movement over 6-18 months.
Dental Hygiene
Our hygienists perform scaling and polishing to remove plaque and tartar buildup. We offer AIR-FLOW therapy for stain removal and provide personalised oral care advice. Regular sessions prevent gum disease and maintain fresh breath.
Children's Dentistry
We provide NHS and private dental care for children under 18. Our child-friendly approach includes preventive check-ups, decay monitoring, and positive reinforcement. Early visits start from first tooth eruption around 6 months.
Emergency Dentistry
We treat severe toothaches, broken teeth, and dental trauma with same-day appointments. Emergency fees include necessary X-rays, with treatment options explained before proceeding. Registered patients receive priority access.
