Services
Orthodontic Treatment
We offer specialist orthodontic solutions including metal braces, tooth-coloured ceramic braces, and Invisalign clear aligners. Our consultant orthodontist creates personalised treatment plans to correct misalignment and improve dental function. The practice provides retainers and post-treatment care to maintain results, with options for both adults and children.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic services include professional tooth whitening, white composite fillings, porcelain veneers, and aesthetic crowns. These treatments address discolouration, chips, and misshapen teeth to create natural-looking smile transformations. All cosmetic procedures are performed by experienced dentists using high-quality materials.
Facial Aesthetics
Qualified clinician Lucy Davis provides facial aesthetic treatments using hyaluronic acid fillers. Services include lip augmentation, nasolabial fold correction, and anti-ageing treatments. The practice offers consultation appointments to discuss individual goals and create tailored treatment plans for natural-looking results.
Snoring Solutions
We address sleep-related breathing disorders through mandibular advancement splints like the Sleepwell device. Our trained clinician conducts initial assessments to determine suitability for oral appliance therapy, which helps maintain airway patency during sleep for patients with snoring or mild-moderate OSA.
Preventative Care
Our preventative services focus on maintaining oral health through regular check-ups, professional cleaning, and patient education. The practice employs dedicated dental hygienists who work alongside dentists to create customised care plans, including dietary advice and brushing techniques.
