Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent tooth replacement solutions using titanium screws integrated with the jawbone. Our implantology specialists offer single and multiple tooth replacements, stabilising dentures and bridges. The treatment process includes comprehensive consultation, surgical placement under local anaesthetic, and restoration with natural-looking crowns or prosthetics.
Teeth Whitening
Professional home whitening kits use custom-fitted trays and dental-grade gel to achieve brighter smiles. The process begins with a consultation to assess suitability, followed by tray fabrication and application instructions. Patients typically complete treatment in 14-16 days with results lasting several years through proper maintenance.
Dental Crowns
Crowns restore damaged or weakened teeth using durable materials like porcelain-bonded metal or all-ceramic options. The procedure involves tooth preparation, impression taking, temporary crown placement, and final fitting. Crowns protect teeth after root treatments, improve discoloured fillings, and support dental bridges.
Invisalign
Invisalign offers discreet orthodontic treatment using removable, nearly invisible aligners. Patients receive new aligners every 1-2 weeks to gradually straighten teeth, with treatment durations starting from 3 months. The practice offers a 15% introductory discount for treatments commencing in 2023.
Facial Aesthetics
Botulinum toxin injections reduce facial wrinkles by temporarily relaxing specific muscles. Treatments target crow's feet, forehead lines, and frown lines, with results appearing over two weeks and lasting 3-4 months. The practice provides pre-treatment consultations and follow-up reviews to ensure patient satisfaction.
