General check-ups

It’s too easy to get complacent about oral health so don’t wait for pain. Keep your teeth and gums in tip-top condition with regular general dental check-ups and avoid unnecessary discomfort, inconvenience and cost.

Invisible fillings

If you have small cracks, cavities or holes you may need a filling. We can restore the natural appearance of your tooth with invisible or ‘white’ fillings, comprising a durable long-lasting material that will also protect the tooth from further damage.

Crowns

A crown is a natural-looking restoration for damaged or worn teeth that need a little more repair than a filling can offer. The damaged or worn tooth is sculpted to receive the crown or cap that is designed to fit perfectly and look natural.

Extractions

No one looks forward to having a tooth extracted so rest assured we have the experience, technique and pain-minimising procedures such as sedation to complete the procedure quickly and with minimum discomfort and anxiety. Whilst you might not be as relaxed as you would be on a desert island (patient seen with sedation dentist Leah Adams) we are specialist at minimising anxiety and discomfort.

Teeth Straightening

Straighter teeth not only look good, they are easier to look after. Our orthodontist Goldie Songra is one of the leading orthodontist in the region and is at the forefront of a range of the very latest teeth straightening techniques including the amazing Invisalign invisible braces.

Root canals

If decay has infected the nerve supply to the tooth, you may need a root canal. We will remove the infection, as painlessly as possible, and restore your teeth to full strength and health.

Dear A Team. All I can say is WOW! My jaw aches because I’ve been smiling so much since my treatment on Friday. I’ve had so much food it’s amazing, no pain and not even a bruise on my hand where the needle went in. Thank you so much for your excellent work and continued reassurance
