Services
Crowns
Crowns restore fractured or damaged teeth to their natural shape and strength. This custom-made restoration covers the entire tooth, improving appearance while preserving function. Two visits are required for preparation, temporary placement, and permanent fitting.
Veneers
Porcelain veneers address chipped, stained, or uneven teeth by bonding thin layers to the front surface. This permanent solution creates a natural-looking smile while maintaining tooth integrity through strong adhesion techniques.
Bridges
Fixed and adhesive bridges replace missing teeth using pontics anchored to adjacent crowns or wings. This prevents tooth drift, restores chewing function, and maintains facial structure through durable, non-removable solutions.
Fillings
White composite fillings restore decayed teeth with mercury-free material that bonds securely while preserving natural appearance. These fillings require less tooth removal than amalgam and reduce sensitivity to temperature changes.
Teeth Whitening
Perfect Bleach by Voco gently whitens teeth over 2-4 weeks using low-concentration gels to minimise sensitivity. This home-based system provides permanent results with periodic maintenance, avoiding harsh chemical treatments.
