Hygiene + Preventative
Oral hygiene services focus on preventing or delaying issues with the gums and bone, and minimising cavities. Our Preventative Care Department is there to help you avoid dentist treatment and to brighten your smile by improving the health of your gums and minimise staining.
Child Preventative Appointment
We know you want the best for your kids and our child preventative appointments are designed to give parents an additional level of care and reassurance to complement the school dental service. It’s also a great way for parents to be able to ask all those tooth, dietary and general oral health questions.

Need teeth replaced?
Full Mouth Rehabilitation
Often there is a chain of events with regards to diet, chewing patterns and remaining tooth structure which starts a person down a path which may eventually lead to complete dentures. Full mouth rehabilitation can help avoid or postpone this possibility with a more desirable outcome.
Crowns, Bridges & Implants
Crowns are lab processed restorations to replace missing tooth structure with stronger, harder and sometimes prettier materials than direct fillings. A crown is usually prepared at one visit fitted on the second visit. A bridge is a series of crowns which are connected to span a gap or tie teeth together. An Implant is an artificial root.
Breaking teeth?
An occlusal evaluation, essentially an evaluation of your bite, is performed at all New Patient Exams. It shows whether your tooth position or changes in how your teeth come together have led to destructive chewing patterns. This could explain teeth breaking frequently, or front teeth getting thin and chipped.
Unattractive smile?
Cosmetic or Aesthetic dentistry allows you look your best and still eat the things you want. Simple composite (white fillings) through to modern lab processed ceramics are effective ways to mimic natural teeth. Combined with bleaching and facial analysis these procedures help you feel good about your smile.
Smile Makeover
A smile makeover starts with an evaluation of the proportions of your face and determines how best to incorporate the shape of the teeth as a whole into the frame of the lips and the rest of the face.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment is the clear alternative to metal braces for kids, teens, and adults. Read more >
