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.
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.
Root Canal Treatment
Removes infected or inflamed pulp from inside a tooth, then cleans, shapes and seals the root canals so the natural tooth can be kept. Usually one to three visits; a crown is often recommended afterwards.
Wisdom Tooth Surgery
Removal of impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth in a minor surgical procedure under local anaesthesia or sedation, with stitches removed about one to two weeks later.
