Services
Dental Implants
Our dental implant specialists replace missing teeth using titanium inserts that function like natural tooth roots. Available for single teeth, multiple teeth, or full jaw restoration, these implants preserve bone structure and distribute bite force effectively. With over 30 years of experience and using premium systems like Straumann and Biomet 3i, we offer implant-supported bridges and dentures that look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
Invisalign
Our Invisalign specialists provide discreet teeth straightening using custom-made clear aligners. This orthodontic treatment gradually repositions teeth without traditional metal braces, offering removable trays that allow normal eating and cleaning. With specialist consultant Aisling Byrne leading treatments, patients benefit from improved alignment and bite functionality while maintaining their appearance during the correction process.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening treatments remove deep stains and discolouration using advanced bleaching techniques. Our dentists apply safe, effective whitening agents that can lighten teeth by several shades in a single session. Patients receive aftercare advice to maintain results and avoid common staining agents, with options for both in-practice and take-home whitening systems available.
Emergency Dentistry
Available 24 hours a day, our emergency dental service treats severe tooth pain, broken teeth, lost fillings, and oral infections. With immediate access to experienced dentists and diagnostic equipment, we provide pain relief and stabilisation for dental trauma. Treatments include temporary restorations, antibiotics for infections, and urgent extractions when necessary, with follow-up care arranged as needed.
Root Canal Therapy
Specialist root canal treatments save damaged or infected teeth using advanced endodontic techniques. Our specialists Sukhdev Singh and Jamie Fuller remove infected pulp tissue, clean the root canals, and seal them to prevent reinfection. This preserves natural teeth that might otherwise require extraction, with crown placement often recommended for long-term protection and functionality.
