Invisalign

Invisalign offers a discreet and comfortable way to straighten teeth without the need for traditional metal braces. Using a series of clear, custom-made aligners, Invisalign gradually shifts teeth into their desired position.


Invisalign combines comfort, aesthetics, and effectiveness, making it an excellent choice for achieving a confident smile.

  • What Your Dentist Will Do

    The process begins with a consultation where your dentist evaluates your teeth and discusses your smile goals. Using advanced 3D imaging technology, a detailed treatment plan is created, mapping out the movement of your teeth and the duration of treatment. You’ll then receive your custom aligners, which are worn for 20-22 hours a day and replaced every 1-2 weeks as your teeth adjust. Regular check-ups are scheduled to monitor progress and ensure everything is on track.

  • Aftercare

    Once your invisalign treatment is complete, your dentist will recommend wearing a retainer to maintain your results and prevent teeth from shifting back. It’s important to maintain good oral hygiene by cleaning your aligners daily and brushing and flossing regularly. Routine dental visits and consistent use of your retainer will help you enjoy a straight, beautiful smile for years to come.

Tooth whitening is the use of bleaching agents, such as carbamide peroxide, hydrogen peroxide (Opalescence Go) to lighten the colour of the teeth. It is a cost effective and safe means of getting the teeth whiter.


Enamel stains, a generalised discoloured pattern in the teeth and trauma to baby teeth that have resulted in stained permanent teeth can all benefit from bleaching.

Tooth Whitening

  • What your Dentist will Do

    In this practice, we do not commence the treatment until the patient has had a checkup and clean and all cavities have been restored. This is to reduce the risk of sensitivity to hot and cold.


    We take a mould of your teeth and make customised plastic trays. We then give you the trays, the bleaching gel and instructions. You wear the gel filled trays at home once or twice daily, depending on how quickly you want the teeth whitened and how comfortable you feel. You could wear them from half an hour to 2 hours at a time each day.

  • Length of the Treatment?

    The length of the treatment may vary between 1 and 6 weeks, with an average lasting between 7 and 14 days.

  • Aftercare

    During the course of bleaching, the patient returns to the surgery every 2 weeks and have the shade monitored. This is usually done without referring to the shade the previous visit. Patient continues to use the gel until s/he is happy with the final lightened shade.

Internal Bleaching of a root-filled tooth

A root treated tooth usually darkens and if it happens to be a front tooth, your dentist may suggest internal bleaching of the tooth.

  • What Your Dentist Will Do

    It involves drilling a small hole into the back of the tooth and removing some of the filling from the tooth’s root canal and inserting the bleaching product. The hole is temporarily filled and you will need to return in about a week to have the bleaching product and temporary filling removed. 


    A fresh lot of bleaching agent is inserted again and the process is repeated over several weeks or months until the tooth lightens to the desirable shade.


    Once treatment is completed, the bleaching agent is removed and the hole is permanently filled.

Ceramic and Composite Veneers

A veneer is a thin porcelain coating bonded to the tooth enamel to give a permanent structure. It is strong and durable and offers a long term restoration solution for a number of dental conditions affecting the front teeth including:

  • Restoring chipped and cracked teeth
  • Covering up badly stained and discoloured teeth from birth
  • Closing up gaps between the teeth
  • Correcting uneven or malpositioned teeth


It gives a natural look and feels like a natural tooth.


Composite veneers are a lot more economical. Like the porcelain veneers, they offer a cosmetic alternative for a wonderful, natural smile.
