We want you to enjoy a healthy smile.
Committed to excellence in dental care
We are committed to providing comprehensive, multi-disciplinary dental care
with a holistic approach to treatment planning.
We use the latest innovations in dentistry so we can achieve excellent results for you for today - and for the future.
Our philosophy
We offer lifelong dental care, emphasising prevention as our fundamental approach.
With two dedicated full-time dental hygienists and three dentists, our focus is on maintaining your oral health. Our commitment to prevention has resulted in a loyal clientele, some of whom have been with us since the practice originally opened in 1959!
Our technology
3D Imaging - Our Trios 3 Shape™ dental scanner allows us to accurately image and record your teeth, mouth and palate so we can develop accurate moulds for crown and bridge work, orthodontics with Invisalign™ and even mouthguards.
Digital Xrays - We use digital xrays instead of chemical films - the radiation dosage is a fraction of what it used to be- and results in clearer, faster and safer dental xrays.
Digital Intraoral Photography – This photographic technology provides an instant understanding of the clinical issues which may require treatment and provides us with an excellent record of your dental health.
Smile Makeover - A smile makeover is the process of creating a new, aesthetically pleasing smile designed to meet your individual requirements. Using photographs, scans and working in conjunction with our local laboratories, it is now possible for us to design and ‘try in’ a customised smile prior to any treatment being performed. This is ideal for cosmetic procedures.
Invisalign® - Straight teeth not only look great, they are easier to clean and maintain.
Invisalign® is a revolutionary system of sequential transparent aligners designed to straighten your teeth without the hassle of traditional braces.
They can also help improve your overall oral health by correcting crooked teeth, gaps and bites for improved oral hygiene. Used by over three million people globally, Invisalign® has helped many people achieve a more symmetrical smile no matter what their age.
