Areas of Expertise

Root canal treatment
Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment removes infected tissue from inside a tooth. The space is cleaned, filled, and sealed to prevent further infection. The procedure maintains the structure and function of the natural tooth.

tooth extraction
Tooth Extraction

Tooth extraction removes teeth that cannot be restored, performed under local anaesthetic. Healing instructions are provided after the procedure. The process supports recovery of normal oral function.

Mouth guard
Dental Mouth Guard

Night-time mouth guards help prevent damage from teeth grinding and clenching. The custom tray fits over your teeth to stay in place during sleep. The guard supports enamel protection and stabilizes jaw alignment.

Dental filling
Dental Fillings

Composite fillings are used to treat teeth affected by decay or trauma. The material is matched to tooth colour and bonds directly to the enamel. The procedure re-establishes the tooth’s form and function.

Teeth Whitening
Teeth Whitening

Our signature teeth whitening involves applying a bleaching gel that targets surface stains, safely and effectively brightening your smile.

teeth scaling
Scaling and Polishing

Scaling removes plaque and hardened tartar from teeth and gums, while polishing smooths the enamel to help prevent buildup. It is recommended to get scaling and polishing every 6 months.

Regular-Dental-Checkups
General Checkup

General checkup looks for signs of decay, gum disease, and oral cancer. We review your dental history, and X-rays are taken if required. The appointment ends with care advice based on the clinical findings.
