High-quality care
We have specialist dental care all “under one roof”. Our in-house expertise ensures you receive specialist care saving you time and frustration with lengthy referral processes.
To provide better patient care, our dentists attend post-graduate intense training courses and engage in advanced courses to stay current on the newest dental procedures, technology and treatments.
Essential preventive dental care including teeth cleaning, oral examinations, and fissure sealants are also carried out to aid long-term maintenance of good dental health.
Treatments also focus on aesthetics/appearance/smile, with further options for cosmetic enhancements.
Modern dental procedures, technology and equipment can result in less intrusive procedures and more precise diagnoses, hence why we invest in them. For in-depth investigation, we use 3D CBCT and 2D OPG Panoramic scans. Additionally, they provide greater choice for pain relief.
X-Rays allow your dentist to see inside each tooth to identifying if any additional treatment is needed. Your dentist will explain any findings, whilst also offering you the chance to ask questions.
An examination of the soft tissues in your mouth will be done to check for signs of oral cancer, as well as gum disease.
Length of appointments
A private dental examination will provide you extra time in the chair allowing for a thorough check up. These typically require 30 minutes however this can vary according to your needs.
It enables comprehensive evaluations and individualised treatment regimens catered to your needs.
