Our philosophy is to listen and work with you to develop an individual treatment plan to suit your needs.
We offer comprehensive dental treatment in relaxed and stylish surroundings.
The key to a healthy mouth is having regular dental check ups and oral hygiene appointments 6 - 12 monthly.
To help maintain your mouth, good at home oral care is recommended. We are here to help you with any concerns you have regarding the health of your mouth.
If you would like to replace a missing tooth, straighten your teeth, brighten your smile or simply change to a new toothbrush and knowing how to floss properly we can provide you with all the information necessary for you to take the next step to improving the health of your mouth.

Full Mouth Examinations
Here the dentist will assess all your teeth and gums, take two small x-rays to show in between the teeth for any decay and chart any current dental work in your mouth. Following this we will then design a specific dental treatment plan to cater for your individual needs.
|
Tooth Coloured Fillings (composite)
These will be matched to the shade and colour of your tooth. Amalgam can weaken the teeth long term
|
Cosmetic Dentistry
A smile makeover can subtract years from your appearance. Smile designs take in to account the entire picture. The shape and design are tailored to your individual needs.
Veneers, Teeth Whitening, Smile Enhancements

Inlays and Onlays
When a tooth needs more structural support than a filling can provide, the treatment options include an inlay, onlay or a crown.
Inlays and Onlays strengthen and protect the tooth just like a crown. They can also be used to restore teeth that are cracked or fractured if the damage is not severe enough to require a dental crown. Inlays and Onlays are usually made from porcelain, composite resin or gold. Because they can be created from tooth-coloured materials, inlays and onlays are often used to replace metal fillings for patients who desire a more natural looking smile
|
Crowns
Are dental restorations that fully cover, or "cap" the natural tooth in order to restore the tooth's shape or improve it's strength when it has been heavily filled or damaged in an accident.
Crowns can also be used to improve the appearance of teeth that are stained, spaced or slightly out of position. They are shaped and custom made to specifically fit the individuals tooth.
Porcelain, ceramic or gold options are available.

|
Bridges
A bridge is made up of two crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap - these two anchoring teeth are called abutment teeth - and a false tooth/teeth in between. These false teeth can be made from gold, alloys, porcelain or a combination of these materials. Dental bridges are supported by natural teeth or implants.
Bridges can:
Restore your smile, your ability to properly chew and speak, maintain the shape of your face, distribute the forces in your bite properly by replacing missing teeth and prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position

|
|
Implants
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is placed into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. Dental implants are an ideal option for people in good general oral health who have lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, injury or some other reason.
Dental implants are so natural-looking and feeling you may forget you ever lost a tooth

|
Periodontal Treatment
Gum disease is an infection caused by chronic bacterial infection of the gum tissue. This infection damages the gum and bone that supports the teeth.
Symptoms include bleeding gums, some discomfort or sensitivity and bad breath
|
Invisalign
The clear alternative to braces.
Made in United States of America.
Invisalign makes it easy to straighten your teeth without bands, brackets or wires. A virtually invisible solution so you can smile during as well as after treatment.
**May not be suitable for all**

Hygienist Appointments:
Healthy gums and bone are the foundation which hold your teeth in place. A Hygienist pays attention to each tooth individually to help improve the health of your mouth. Regular visits to a hygienist (can be as often as every 3 months) even for people with healthy teeth and gums, can make a tremendous difference to your oral hygiene.
Routine cleaning can save you $$. Plaque starts to accumulate, the gums get more inflammed and start to pull away from the teeth. Plaque will harden to tartar over a short period of time, eventually the bone surrounding the teeth starts to receed along with the gums, teeth can become mobile and eventually can be lost. Your regular dental visits and cleans are your best insurance policy to maintaining a healthy mouth.
Our hygienist Susie will perform a thorough assessment of your mouth, paying particular attention to your gums. She will clean the teeth and gumline then advise on good at home oral care regimes, including brushing and cleaning techniques specific to your mouth.
Following your hygiene appointment you will be given a little starter pack to take home. Visit our facebook page to learn more about fabulous offers exclusive to
