Tooth Extractions

Sometimes a painful or unsalvageable tooth must be removed. Your dentist will explain all options, possible risks, and ways to replace the missing tooth. If the extraction is difficult or you have medical concerns, you may be referred to a specialist. The area will be numbed, so you’ll feel pressure but not pain. After the tooth is removed, you’ll receive instructions to help the area heal—follow them carefully and contact the clinic if any issues arise.

Root Canal

A root canal saves a tooth whose nerve is infected or damaged. The dentist numbs the area, removes the diseased nerve, cleans the canals, and seals them to stop infection. This relieves severe pain and avoids tooth extraction. Afterward, the tooth is rebuilt with a filling and often covered with a crown for strength.

Amalgam Removal

Amalgam removal safely replaces old silver fillings with natural‑looking white fillings. We use careful techniques to protect you throughoutthe process, giving your tooth a healthier, more modern appearance while improving comfort and function.

Crowns

Dental crowns are custom‑made caps that fit over damaged or weakened teeth to restore their strength, shape and natural appearance. They protect the tooth underneath and provide a long‑lasting, natural‑looking solution.

Dentures

A denture is a removable replacement for missing teeth. Full dentures replace all teeth, while partial dentures fill specific gaps and attach to remaining teeth. They improve appearance, confidence, and eating comfort. Full dentures rest on the gums, and partial dentures come in different materials and designs. Your dentist will advise whether a partial denture or a bridge is the better option for you.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are a long‑lasting way to replace missing teeth using a small titanium post that acts like a natural tooth root. Once healed, a custom‑made crown is attached, giving you a strong, natural‑looking tooth that feels and functions just like the real thing. Implants help restore your smile, improve chewing, and protect your jawbone for long‑term oral health.

Bridges

Dental bridges replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth to the neighbouring teeth. They restore your smile, improve chewing and speaking, and prevent surrounding teeth from shifting out of place.

Learn more

Composite Bonding

Composite bonding reshapes and repairs teeth using a tooth‑coloured resin. It can fix chips, gaps, and minor imperfections in one visit. The result is a smooth and natural‑looking improvement to your smile.

Preventive Care

Mouth Cancer

Routine screenings to detect early signs of abnormal changes in the mouth for timely and effective treatment.

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening lightens stained or discoloured teeth using safe bleaching agents. It creates a brighter, more confident smile. Results are quick and noticeable with professional treatment.

Dental Veneers

Veneers are thin porcelain or composite shells bonded to the front of teeth. They improve the appearance of chipped, stained, or uneven teeth. This treatment creates a natural and long‑lasting smile transformation.
