Services
Crowns and bridges
Crowns and bridges restore damaged or missing teeth using custom-fabricated prosthetics. These fixed solutions preserve dental function while maintaining natural aesthetics. Our process involves precise tooth preparation, digital impressions, and durable material selection to ensure long-term success. Patients benefit from improved chewing ability, speech clarity, and facial structure maintenance through these restorative treatments.
Childrens dentistry
Specialised dental care for infants through teenagers focuses on preventive maintenance and early intervention. Our approach includes fluoride applications, habit counselling, and trauma management tailored to developing dentition. We create positive experiences through gentle techniques and age-appropriate education about oral hygiene practices and dietary habits affecting dental health.
Dental emergencies
Urgent dental treatment addresses traumatic injuries, severe infections, and acute pain conditions. Our protocols include immediate assessment, pain management, and stabilisation procedures for broken teeth, abscesses, and soft tissue injuries. We prioritise same-day appointments to prevent complications and preserve dental structures through timely intervention.
Fillings
Modern filling materials repair tooth decay and structural damage while maintaining natural appearance. Using tooth-coloured composites, we restore dental integrity through minimally invasive techniques. The procedure removes decayed tissue, prepares the tooth surface, and applies bonded resin layers hardened with specialised light technology for durable, aesthetically pleasing results.
Dentures
Custom-fitted dentures replace multiple missing teeth to restore function and facial aesthetics. We provide complete and partial dentures crafted from durable materials that mimic natural tooth appearance. The process involves precise oral impressions, bite registration, and multiple fitting stages to ensure comfort, stability, and proper occlusion for improved chewing and speech.

Report
Dr Kate Drakos has been taking care of our family's oral health for over a decade. She is always kind, efficient, friendly, caring & gentle. So much so that when my daughter had to have a tooth extracted, it was out before she asked if it would hurt! She's also a great communicator - you know what the plan is, and why. Highly recommended!

I have been visiting Dr Charles for approximately 7 years. He has seen me for both run of the mill checkup and clean but also helped me with a dental emergency when I broke a tooth unexpectedly. Dr Charles' is a very knowledgeable and experienced dentist and I would highly recommend him. The practise is clean and welcoming and the staff are friendly.
