General Dentistry
What does General Dentistry include?
Dental check-up
To monitor and maintain healthy teeth and gums, our clinicians would recommend visiting our private practice for a dental check-up every six months, or twice a year.
Hygiene
That feeling when you just got a clean…you just can’t beat it. Dental hygiene is the key to everlasting oral health. Whether as part of your routine visits or in preparation for more complex treatments, maintaining dental hygiene is the root of all smile success stories.
Emergencies
Accidents and surprises happen from time to time with our teeth. It’s at these moments you need to know your dentist has got your back and can jump to the rescue at the drop of a hat. Never fear, we’re here when you need us the most. For any dental emergency, get in touch right away and we’ll fit you right in.
Orthodontics
Invisalign may be the buzzword in dental these days, but there are many more ways to align teeth. Our in-house orthodontists provide a range of braces to suit all faces so we are able to offer bespoke teeth straightening solutions for every smile.
Periodontics
Your teeth are only as good as your gums, so our periodontics team are all about keeping these important foundations fit, healthy and free from gnarly diseases. If you feel like your gums need a bit of T.L.C, let’s get you in for a periodontal M.O.T.
Fillings
None of us are fans of fillings, but they happen. We do our best to help you maintain a healthy smile but there may be times when a filling is the ideal solution to get you back on track and pain-free. Our general dentists have a range of options for all budgets and promise you won’t feel a thing.
Crowns
Crowns aren’t just for royalty you know. They are a great solution for protecting and restoring broken or damaged teeth when a filling just won’t cut the mustard. There’s no need to live with unsightly broken teeth. We’ll crown that for you.

We’re also in the removal business didn’t you know? Pesky wisdom teeth, complex overcrowding or teeth that are causing more problems than benefits are best off out of your life. You can trust us with swift, painless removal that will give you the relief you really need.
