Crowns and Bridges
A crown caps a weakened or root-treated tooth to restore its shape and strength; a bridge replaces a missing tooth by anchoring onto the teeth beside the gap. Both typically take two visits.

Dental Cleaning and Check-up
A routine visit covering an examination of teeth, gums and existing dental work, with scaling and polishing to remove plaque and tartar. Recommended every six months.
Dentures
Removable replacements for missing teeth — full or partial — made of acrylic or metal-framed cobalt-chromium. Fitting takes several appointments, with adjustments as you adapt.
Emergency Dentistry
Same-day dental care for urgent problems — toothache, a broken or knocked-out tooth, swelling, or a lost filling or crown. Book an urgent slot by region, or call, and we will see you at the nearest available clinic.
Extractions
Removal of teeth that cannot be saved due to decay, gum disease, fracture or crowding, done under local anaesthesia. Replacement options are discussed before any extraction.
Fillings
Repairs teeth damaged by decay, chips or wear: the damaged portion is removed and the tooth is rebuilt with tooth-coloured filling material, usually in a single visit.
Mouthguards
Custom-fitted guards made from impressions of your teeth: sports mouthguards protect against impact, while night guards protect against grinding (bruxism) during sleep.
Retainers
Custom appliances worn after braces or aligner treatment to hold teeth in their corrected positions — removable clear or Hawley retainers, or a fixed wire behind the teeth.
Tooth Sensitivity
Diagnosis and treatment of teeth that ache with cold, heat or sweet food. Depending on the cause, options range from desensitising agents and fillings to gum or root canal treatment.
