The Dental Hygienist

Prevention and early detection are the keys to avoiding future dental treatment. Prevention begins with the control of plaque and calculus, the main cause of decay and gum disease.

The Dental Therapist

The Dental Therapist provides all the preventive care that our hygienists do, however, the therapist can also provide routine fillings and extractions on children under the prescription of the dentist.

Tooth Whitening

This is a highly effective way of lightening the colour of your teeth. It does not involve the removal of any tooth structure.

Fillings & Inlays

There are new materials available for fillings and inlays. Your dentist will be happy to discuss the alternatives with you.

Crowns, Bridges & Veneers

These items can be used to rectify a number of oral problems for patients.

Dentures

With great improvements in dental materials and techniques we are increasingly able to offer a wide choice of affordable options.
 

Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment is needed when the blood and nerve supply of the tooth is infected or inflamed.
 

Implants

Whether you wear full or partial dentures or are simply missing a single tooth - implants could help you.
