Welcome
We are a private practice focused on achieving the best results with the least discomfort for our patients. We appreciate how important your dental health is to you and how much you value your smile. Our aim is to provide you with more prevention and less intervention, so that your teeth and gums stay healthy enough to avoid treatment in the first place.
We aim to provide personalised care in a relaxed and friendly environment. This site aims to assist and inform you regarding these exciting new possibilities, but you will also find simple yet effective advice on how you can improve your chances of not needing any treatment by caring for your teeth and gums. If after reading through the pages on this site you have questions, then remember we are just a phone call away and are always happy to hear from you.
The first phase of our refurbishment is complete, and we now have an additional Ground Floor Surgery (for easy access) and new state of the art equipment installed throughout the two surgeries. This includes our:
- Dental Microscope
- CBCT scanner for dental implants, sinus lift surgery, and assessing wisdom teeth proximity to vital structures and nerves
- 3D Intraoral Imaging Scanner instead of traditional dental impressions
- Digital xrays
- New surgical equipment and much more.
