Services
Invisalign
Invisalign offers a discreet, removable solution for straightening teeth without traditional braces. Using custom-made aligners, we correct misalignment and bite issues, enhancing both aesthetics and oral health. Ideal for adults seeking a nearly invisible treatment, Invisalign combines advanced 3D imaging with our expertise as Norwich's first Diamond Provider. Patients benefit from improved confidence and easier maintenance of oral hygiene during treatment.
Teeth Whitening
Our professional teeth whitening treatments safely brighten smiles using custom trays and bleaching gel. Suitable for most patients, this non-invasive procedure addresses staining from age, diet, or lifestyle factors. We provide home kits supervised by our dentists, ensuring optimal results and minimal sensitivity. Whitening enhances self-esteem and is often combined with other cosmetic treatments for a comprehensive smile makeover.
Dental Implants
Dental implants replace missing teeth with titanium posts that fuse to the jawbone, offering a permanent, natural-looking solution. Our specialists restore function and aesthetics, preventing bone loss and maintaining facial structure. The process involves detailed planning, including 3D imaging, to ensure precise placement. Implants provide long-term durability and comfort, allowing patients to eat and speak confidently.
Composite Bonding
Composite bonding repairs chipped, discoloured, or misshapen teeth using tooth-coloured resin. This minimally invasive procedure requires no anaesthesia and is completed in a single visit. Ideal for minor cosmetic improvements, bonding enhances symmetry and colour uniformity. Results last 5-7 years with proper care, offering a cost-effective alternative to veneers or crowns.
Hygiene Therapy
Our hygienists provide thorough cleaning to prevent gum disease and maintain oral health. Services include scaling, polishing, and Airflow Guided Biofilm Therapy to remove plaque and stains. Regular hygiene visits reduce risks of decay and periodontal issues while offering tailored advice on home care. Patients receive preventive strategies to sustain fresh breath and a healthy smile between check-ups.
