Our
General Dentistry Services
Routine Check-ups & Examinations
Regular dental checkups are key to preventing oral health issues. We conduct thorough examinations, checking for cavities, gum disease, and other concerns — helping you maintain a healthy mouth.
Dental Hygiene & Scale + Polish
Our dental hygienists provide professional cleaning to remove plaque, tartar, and stains that daily brushing can’t reach. We’ll also provide tailored advice on maintaining good oral hygiene at home.
Digital X-Rays & Diagnostics
We use modern digital x-rays and imaging for accurate diagnosis of dental conditions — ensuring early detection of decay, infections, and other issues.
Fillings (White & Composite)
We offer natural-looking tooth-coloured fillings to restore teeth affected by decay, chips, or wear, blending seamlessly with your natural smile.
Tooth Extractions
If a tooth is beyond repair due to decay, trauma, or overcrowding, we provide gentle, safe extractions with a focus on your comfort.
Root Canal Treatment
When tooth nerve tissue becomes infected or damaged, root canal therapy can save the tooth and relieve pain. Our team ensures the process is as comfortable as possible.
Gum (Periodontal) Care
We diagnose and treat gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis) to protect your gums and prevent tooth loss, with both non-surgical and surgical options as needed.
Crowns & Bridges
We restore and replace damaged or missing teeth with high-quality crowns and bridges, improving both function and appearance.
Emergency Dental Care
We understand that dental emergencies can happen unexpectedly. We provide prompt care for toothaches, broken teeth, lost fillings, and other urgent concerns. We hold one appointment open each day for emergency appointments.
