Services
Invisalign
Invisalign provides discreet orthodontic treatment using custom-made removable aligners. Our accredited provider, Dr Nithya Chellappah, creates 3D treatment plans to gradually straighten teeth without metal braces. This hygienic solution suits adults and teens seeking aesthetic dental alignment improvements while maintaining their lifestyle.
Same Day Crowns
Our CEREC technology enables same-day crown fabrication and placement. This eliminates multiple visits, temporary crowns, and messy impressions. Patients receive durable porcelain restorations in one appointment, with immediate functionality and natural aesthetics, ideal for damaged or decayed teeth.
Dental Implants
Dental implants offer permanent tooth replacement solutions. Our specialists use titanium posts to replace missing teeth roots, supporting crowns or dentures. This treatment restores chewing function and prevents bone loss, requiring thorough assessment and planning for long-term success.
Emergency Appointments
We prioritise urgent dental care with same-day appointments for pain, trauma, or infections. Our team manages toothaches, broken teeth, abscesses, and other emergencies, providing immediate relief and preventing complications through prompt professional intervention.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening enhances smiles using the Polanight system. This customised home-bleaching program safely lightens tooth enamel, addressing discolouration from age, diet, or lifestyle factors. We provide tailored trays and solutions for gradual, effective results.

We have been going there for over 15 years. My 3 1/2 year old had her first dental check today with Divya. She was so good and although was scared before we got there she was so happy through appointment. Thanks to the amazing staff there for making her first trip so carefree

Great dentist (Dr Nithya), really listens and super attentive to how you’re feeling during procedures. Have been going there for a number of years and absolutely recommend them.
