Services
Invisalign Treatments
Invisalign treatments use clear aligners to correct teeth alignment issues like crowding and spacing. Our digital iTero scanner ensures precise planning, allowing patients to visualise results before starting treatment. This non-invasive method offers comfort and convenience, with removable aligners for easy maintenance.
Digital Scanning
Our iTero Element 2 scanner replaces traditional impressions with accurate 3D digital models. This technology enables real-time visualisation of treatment outcomes, enhancing diagnostic precision and patient understanding. The process is quick, comfortable, and eliminates the discomfort of conventional moulds.
Cosmetic Dentistry
We offer tailored cosmetic solutions, including teeth whitening and bonding, to enhance smiles. Our approach combines aesthetic artistry with technical expertise, ensuring natural-looking results. Treatments are designed to address discolouration, shape irregularities, and minor alignment issues for improved confidence.
Preventative Services
Our preventative care focuses on maintaining oral health through regular check-ups, hygiene therapy, and patient education. By prioritising early intervention, we help prevent decay and gum disease. Personalised advice on home care and diet supports long-term dental wellness for all ages.
Vivera Retainers
Vivera retainers are custom-made to maintain teeth alignment post-treatment. Crafted from durable material, they ensure longevity and comfort. We provide three sets to accommodate wear and tear, guaranteeing sustained results. Regular use prevents relapse, preserving your investment in a straight smile.

Questions
What is Invisalign and how does it work?
Invisalign uses clear aligners to gradually straighten teeth without metal braces. Custom-made trays are worn daily, shifting teeth into position over time with minimal discomfort.
What happens during a free consultation?
A 1-hour session with our TCO includes a digital scan using iTero technology to show predicted results, discuss finance options, and provide a tailored treatment quote.
Are payment plans available?
Yes, we offer interest-free finance options subject to credit approval, making treatments accessible without upfront full payment.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Duration varies by case complexity, typically 6-18 months. Your TCO will provide a personalised timeline during the consultation.
What technology do you use?
We utilise the iTero 2 3D scanner for precise digital impressions and a VistaPano OPG machine for rapid, low-radiation X-rays, ensuring accurate diagnostics.
Do you offer emergency dental care?
We do not provide emergency services. Our focus is on scheduled treatments, but we recommend contacting your regular dentist for urgent issues.
