Bone Grafts
Rebuilds jawbone lost after extractions or gum disease, usually to create enough bone for a dental implant. The graft integrates with your own bone over several months.

Children’s dentistry
Check-ups, preventive care and treatment for infants, children and teens, paced to each child’s needs.
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 dental examination, scaling and polishing to remove plaque, tartar and surface stains.
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.
Gum Treatment
Treats gingivitis and periodontitis (gum disease), from deep cleaning of the root surfaces (scaling and root planing) to gum surgery where bone loss has occurred.
Implants
Replaces a missing tooth with a titanium post placed in the jawbone, restored with a crown once healed. From placement to final crown typically takes three to six months.
Mouthguards
Custom-fitted guards made from impressions of your teeth: sports mouthguards protect against impact, while night guards protect against grinding (bruxism) during sleep.
Obstructive sleep apnoea
Custom-made oral appliances that hold the lower jaw forward during sleep to keep the airway open — an option for snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnoea.
Replacing Missing Teeth
Compare implants, bridges and removable dentures for replacing missing teeth.
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.
Root Canal Treatment
Removes infected or inflamed pulp from inside a tooth, then cleans, shapes and seals the root canals so the natural tooth can be kept. Usually one to three visits; a crown is often recommended afterwards.
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.
Veneers
Thin porcelain or composite shells bonded to the front surface of teeth to change their shape and colour, commonly used for chips, gaps and discolouration.
Whitening
Lightens the shade of natural teeth using dental-grade whitening gel, applied in-clinic or with custom take-home trays. Results vary with the cause of discolouration.
Wisdom Tooth Surgery
Removal of impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth. An examination and X-rays establish whether surgery is needed.
