Services
Dental Implants
Our implantology service replaces missing teeth with titanium posts that integrate with jawbone structure. Led by specialist Caoimhe Doherty, we provide comprehensive planning including CBCT scans and bone grafting when required. The process typically involves initial consultation, surgical placement, and final restoration with crowns.
Invisalign Treatment
Lara Kriek, our Elite Invisalign provider, offers discreet orthodontic solutions using removable clear aligners. This technology gradually repositions teeth without traditional braces, with treatment plans incorporating whitening and bonding for complete smile transformations. Regular reviews ensure optimal progress.
Airflow Hygiene
Our Guided Biofilm Therapy uses disclosing tablets and EMS Airflow technology for deep cleaning. This Swiss-engineered system combines air, powder, and water to remove biofilm effectively, often combined with ultrasonic scaling for comprehensive periodontal maintenance.
Teeth Whitening
Custom home whitening kits use digital impressions to create precise trays. Patients receive detailed instructions and follow-up appointments to monitor progress, with top-up gel available to maintain results. The non-invasive process typically shows visible improvement within three weeks.
Emergency Care
We reserve daily appointments for dental emergencies including pain, trauma, or broken teeth. Our team provides immediate relief and treatment planning, with out-of-hours access through an emergency advice scheme for registered patients.
