Our Services
General Dentistry
Dental fillings are used to restore teeth affected by decay or damage, helping to maintain their strength and function. We primarily use tooth-coloured composite fillings for a natural appearance, while amalgam fillings remain available if required for specific cases.
Fillings
Tooth extractions are carried out when a tooth is too damaged or decayed to be restored. The procedure is performed as gently and comfortably as possible, with a focus on relieving pain and protecting your overall oral health.
Extractions
The tooth’s nerve and pulp can become irritated, inflamed, or infected due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures, large fillings, or a crack or chip in the tooth.
Root canal treatment is a procedure used to save a tooth that is severely infected or damaged, removing the affected pulp and sealing the tooth to prevent further problems. This procedure relieves pain, restores function, and helps preserve your natural smile.
Root Canal Treatment
Bridges, Crowns, Implants
Please read more about these procedures under Cosmetic & Specialised Dentistry.
Preventative Dentistry
Keep on top of your oral health with regular dental check-ups. They are essential for maintaining a healthy smile and catching potential issues early.
Routine visits help prevent cavities, gum disease, and other oral problems, ensuring your teeth and gums stay in great condition.
Regular Examinations
Fluoride treatment is a quick, safe, and effective way to strengthen tooth enamel and help prevent cavities.
By replenishing essential minerals, it makes teeth more resistant to decay and supports long-term oral health for both children and adults.
Fluoride Treatment
Fissure sealants are a protective coating applied to the deep grooves of teeth, helping to prevent food and bacteria from getting trapped.
This simple, painless treatment reduces the risk of decay and is especially beneficial for children and teenagers.
While patients at high school are treated at no charge, the procedure is also available to primary students.
Fissure Sealants
Hygiene treatment focuses on professional cleaning to remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains that regular brushing can’t eliminate. It helps maintain healthy gums, prevent gum disease, and keep your smile feeling fresh and looking its best.
Please see here for more information on the prevention of Periodontal Disease and gum management.

Wisdom Teeth
Are you experiencing discomfort from your wisdom teeth?
Book in for a consultation to assess the suitability of extracting the tooth/teeth. Some reasons that can make wisdom teeth more complicated to extract are:
proximity to nerves in your face
proximity to sinuses
impacted
Due to this, you may need to be referred for an OPG. This is a panoramic x-ray that allows the dentist to help assess whether or not the extraction can be performed by one of our dentists, or if you will need to be referred to an oral surgeon.
Cosmetic & Specialised Dentistry
Crowns are custom-made caps that cover and protect a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its shape, strength, and appearance. They are commonly used after procedures like root canals or to repair cracked, worn, or heavily filled teeth.
We offer a variety of crowns: Same day CEREC, porcelain and ceramic.
Crowns
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells bonded to the front of your teeth to enhance their appearance. They’re ideal for improving the color, shape, size, or alignment of teeth, creating a brighter, more even-looking smile.
Veneers
Bridges are fixed restorations used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth to the natural teeth or implants on either side. They restore your ability to chew and speak properly while maintaining the shape and balance of your smile.
Bridges
Implants are permanent tooth replacements that use a small titanium post placed in the jawbone to support a custom-made crown. They look, feel, and function like natural teeth, helping restore your smile and maintain long-term oral health.
Implants
Dentures are designed to replace missing teeth and restore the appearance and function of your smile. They can help improve chewing, speech, and confidence, and are custom-made to fit comfortably and look as natural as possible. Read more here.
Dentures
Teeth whitening is a simple, non-invasive treatment that lightens the color of your natural teeth by removing stains and discolouration. It is a quick way to achieve a brighter smile - see more information about our take home kits here.
