Check up and cleaning
A routine visit covering an examination of teeth, gums and existing dental work, with scaling and polishing to remove plaque and tartar. Recommended every six months.
Extractions
Removal of teeth that cannot be saved due to decay, gum disease, fracture or crowding, done under local anaesthesia. Replacement options are discussed before any extraction.
Fillings
Repairs teeth damaged by decay, chips or wear: the damaged portion is removed and the tooth is rebuilt with tooth-coloured filling material, usually in a single visit.
Invisalign
Straightens teeth with a series of removable clear aligners changed every one to two weeks. Treatment commonly takes 6 to 18 months depending on case complexity.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Custom-made oral appliances that hold the lower jaw forward during sleep to keep the airway open — an option for snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea.
Retainers
Custom appliances worn after braces or aligner treatment to hold teeth in their corrected positions — removable clear or Hawley retainers, or a fixed wire behind the teeth.
