Regular dental check-ups are essential for maintaining good oral health. Our team provides thorough routine exams to detect any issues early and keep your smile healthy.  During your routine check-up, your dentist will assess the condition of your teeth and gums, ensuring any problems are addresses promptly. They can also check for disorders or even signs of teeth grinding. Your dentist will provide advice on how to improve your dental care, including diet and cleaning practices; this usually includes a discussion about your next scheduled appointment based on your individual needs.  It's not worth waiting until something feels wrong, schedule your routine dental exam today!​​

Dental fillings are a type of restorative dentistry treatment, a common dental procedure used to restore and protect teeth damaged by decay,  helping you maintain a healthy and functional smile.  They involve removing the decayed portion of the tooth and filling it with a material such as amalgam (silver) or composite resin (tooth colour). This helps to prevent further decay, restore the tooth's function, and improve its appearance. Regular dental check-ups can help identify the need for fillings early, ensuring better oral health. The price of fillings depends on the difficulty of the procedure, and the type and amount of material used.

Root canal treatment (also called endodontics) is a dental procedure used to treat bacterial infection at the centre of a tooth caused by tooth decay, leaky fillings or damage to teeth as a result of trauma, such as a fall. Root canal treatment can save a tooth that might otherwise have to be removed completely. Infection in the centre of the tooth may lead to an abscess, where the symptoms can range from a dull ache to severe pain and tenderness when biting. If left untreated, the infection will spread, resulting in the tooth having to be removed. A crown may be required to give the tooth added strength and protection, and to prevent future fracturing of the tooth.

Tooth extraction is a dental procedure that involves the removal of a tooth from its socket in the bone. This procedure is typically performed by a dentist when a tooth is damaged beyond repair, is severely decayed, or is causing overcrowding in the mouth. Before the extraction, local anesthesia is administered to ensure the patient is comfortable and pain-free during the process. After the tooth is removed, proper aftercare is essential for healing and to prevent any complications. Your dentist will advise of the best care after any tooth extraction. These extractions can be done the same day if your dentist deems it necessary.

A dental hygienist plays a crucial role in oral health care. They perform routine cleanings to remove plaque and tartar, helping prevent cavities and gum disease. In addition to cleaning teeth, hygienists educate patients on proper oral hygiene practices and provide guidance on maintaining healthy habits at home, which involves brushing teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, flossing regularly and visiting dentist for regular check-ups. Good dental hygiene promotes oral health and contributes to overall wellbeing. ​ We offer comprehensive dental hygiene services including Guided Biofilm Therapy to help you maintain a clean and healthy smile.​​​

It is important for children to be aware of how to care for their teeth and to get into the habit of going for regular dental appointments at an early age to ensure healthy teeth and gums. ​Once their adult teeth start to come through, our dentists can keep an eye on how their teeth are developing and look out for signs of dental decay early on. As children get older, we can also advise on orthodontic teeth straightening options if necessary. On occasions, our dentist may find it necessary to apply topical fluoride and a fissure sealant (a tooth coloured sealant) to the biting surfaces as a further aid to help prevent children’s tooth decay.

Clear aligners are transparent, slim, and flexible plastic trays that fit snugly over your teeth, similar to a lightweight mouthguard. Treatment involves wearing a sequence of custom-made aligners, each designed to gradually shift the teeth according to a personalised plan created by your dentist. They are particularly popular with adults who prefer a more discreet option than traditional fixed braces. As with all orthodontic treatments, a thorough assessment, accurate diagnosis, and carefully planned approach are essential for successful results.​

Dentures are removable prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth, helping restore functionality and aesthetics to person's smile. They can be full or partial depending on the number of teeth being replaced. Veneers, on the other hand, are thin shells made from porcelain or resin that are bonded to the front surface of teeth to enhance their appearance. They can address issues like discoloration, chips, or gaps, providing a more uniform and attractive smile.​ Our dentists will take the time to discuss all the options with you in order to restore your smile and make you feel comfortable with your decision.

A dental bridge is a type of restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. Think of it like a "bridge" that fills the gap left by missing teeth—just like a bridge in the road spans a gap between two points. ​A bridge is typically made up of one or more false teeth (called pontics) that fill the space. These are anchored in place by crowns placed on the natural teeth (or implants) on either side of the gap. These supporting teeth are called abutments. Replacing a missing tooth is important because it helps restore your ability to chew and speak properly. It prevents your other teeth from shifting out of place and helps keep your bite aligned and maintains the shape of your face. It can also improve your appearance and smile.
