CREATE  YOUR  NEW  SMILE

We can offer a complete range of modern dental services.
The number and length of appointments will vary depending on the type and quantity of treatment required.
So long as gum health is good, major changes to the smile can often be completed in only 2 visits.

Comprehensive care - The key to a successful smile lies in the planning. Our comprehensive new patient assessments include imaging, radiographs, oral testing and disclosure of full treatment options. We welcome discussion and accept that every patient's circumstance and preference is unique.

Sedation - Your comfort is very important to us. We understand that many people are nervous about dental treatment and even more are scared of injections. If this sounds like you then we can use 'happy gas' (nitrous oxide sedation) inhaled through a nose mask to safely help you relax while carrying out your dental work. You won't need to fast, will have no residual effects, and are able to drive away at the end of the session. It even helps gaggers.

Veneers – A veneer is a new front surface for a tooth, custom made from porcelain or composite. Veneers are extremely versatile and can be used to align crowded or protruding teeth, close gaps or lighten tooth colour. Their strength and appearance rivals that of natural teeth and they are used to make long lasting changes to the smile. Learn more here...

Dental crowns – Crowns are used to restore severely broken down teeth. Most crowns are made of porcelain, like veneers, or zirconia and look every bit as natural, leaving no black line at the gum level as seen with some traditional crowns. Learn more here...

Tooth Whitening – Healthy teeth that have yellowed with age or stained from coffee, red wine or smoking usually respond well to whitening. Whether you choose Zoom, the as seen-on-TV Extreme Makeover in-chair whitening system, or a more economical home whitening kit, the effect is equally good. Top-up gel is supplied to maintain the result. Learn more here...

Gum Reshaping – For those clients with low or uneven gum levels, a laser gum reshaping treatment can be performed to correct this. If a client has a gummy smile a painless gum lift can be offered.

Tooth replacement – Missing teeth can be replaced with implants, bridgework, partial or full dentures. Great results can be achieved by combining the latest advanced materials and gum management techniques to make replacement teeth appear to emerge from the gum like a natural tooth.

Cosmetic bonding – Bonding is a process in which an enamel-like material is applied to a tooth’s surface. It can be used to restore minor chips and close small gaps, often completed in one appointment.

Cosmetic contouring – This is a quick and simple way to reshape and tidy your smile. Cosmetic contouring works well to smooth minor chips, reshape pointy teeth or redefine teeth that have worn flat.

White fillings – There are a number of tooth coloured amalgam-free filling materials available. The most suitable options for your teeth are discussed and recommended during your first appointment.

Tooth rescue - Some teeth are too heavily-damaged or injured to resolve with just a filling. Where reasonable we aim to protect teeth with minimally-invasive treatment but if necessary root-canal treatment can be completed on site.

Snap-on Smile – This is a patented, easy and painless way to obtain an enhanced smile when cost, time or dental phobia are a major factor as no tooth preparation is required.

Non-specialist Orthodontics – More commonly referred to as “braces” or "clear aligners", this allows teeth to be re-positioned to their optimal position for cosmetics and function. We limit treatment to those cases which have problems appropriate to our level of skill, training and experience. Learn more here...

Dentures - Dentures are made from an acrylic or metal framework which sits over your gums and acrylic teeth that fill the gaps in your teeth. You can also replace all the teeth using a full denture. Learn more here...

Free Dental Care for Teens under 18 - Free general dental care is accessible to teenagers under 18years old.

ACC, Winz & Emergency Treatment - Injured teeth or dental emergencies can often be assessed quickly so that an appropriate treatment can be scheduled, and ACC or Winz documents prepared if required.

Your Essential Dental Care Plan

Regular Hygienist Check Ups 

We are all individuals and thus our mouths build up tartar and plaque at different rates.  For some individuals their tartar buildup starts to form heavily no matter the frequency they clean. These individuals should be seen every 3 – 4 months. The standard recommendation is to have your teeth properly clean and checked twice a year.

Yearly X-Rays

The frequency of getting X-rays of your teeth often depends on your medical and dental history and your current condition.
Some people may need X-rays as often as every six months; others with no recent dental or gum disease and who visit their dentist regularly may get X-rays less often.
​We recommend yearly to stay on top of any changes in your oral health.

Yearly Dental Exam

Your regular exam is based on your oral and general health and your risk factors for tooth decay and gum disease. An adult with good oral hygiene and no problems at checkups may need to come in just once or twice a year. Someone with a lot of tartar or cavities may need to come more often.
If you experience any pain or constant discomfort then it is best to get it checked out as soon as possible.
