If you have a broken tooth or are suffering from toothache our team will work extremely hard on your behalf to prioritise your emergency.
There are many ways to repair teeth but the most commonly used techniques are fillings and crowns. There are also different materials that can be used such as metallic, resin and ceramic based materials.
For some having missing teeth can be an aesthetic concern affecting confidence. For others it can be a functional problem as it can impact upon your ability to chew your favourite foods.
If you lack confidence in the appearance of your teeth than a smile maker may be the solution. Smile makeovers involve a combination of treatments such as teeth whitening, white fillings, veneers, crowns, braces and dental implants.
If you would like to straighten your teeth for a natural and beautiful smile then orthodontic treatment may be for you. Our orthodontic journey is aimed to bring you a smile that you are proud of.
The Enlighten whitening system that we use is specifically designed to brighten and rejuvenate your smile. We have been using this system for many years as the results are exceptional.
Gum health is important for your smile, comfort, confidence and quality of life. A great deal of research has looked into the affects of gum disease on your general health.
