Services
General Dentistry
Our general dentistry services focus on preventive care and oral health maintenance. We provide comprehensive examinations, digital X-rays, and professional cleanings to detect issues early. Treatments include cavity fillings, gum disease management, and root canal therapy. Our team addresses bruxism with custom occlusal guards and offers emergency dental care for urgent needs. Regular checkups help maintain optimal oral health and prevent costly treatments.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Transform your smile with our cosmetic dentistry solutions. We offer teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, and clear aligners like Invisalign. Myobrace treatments correct childhood oral habits while orthodontic options straighten teeth discreetly. Smile makeovers combine multiple treatments to achieve aesthetic goals. Our dentists use advanced techniques to ensure natural-looking, long-lasting results that boost confidence.
Restorative Dentistry
Restore function and appearance with our restorative services. We provide dental implants, crowns, bridges, and dentures to replace missing teeth. Sedation dentistry ensures comfortable treatment for complex cases. Implant-supported solutions offer permanent alternatives to traditional prosthetics. Our team specialises in rebuilding damaged smiles through tailored treatment plans using biocompatible materials.
Children's Orthodontics
Specialised orthodontic care for children addresses developmental issues early. Myobrace therapy corrects harmful habits while space maintainers guide proper tooth eruption. Early intervention improves jaw growth and airway function, preventing future complications. Our child-friendly approach creates positive dental experiences, establishing foundations for lifelong oral health and confident smiles.
Sedation Dentistry
Overcome dental anxiety with our sedation options. We offer IV sedation and general anaesthesia administered by specialist anaesthetists. The 'green whistle' provides nitrous oxide sedation for mild anxiety relief. These techniques ensure comfortable treatment experiences for nervous patients, complex procedures, or those requiring multiple treatments in one visit.

Fantastic family dentist! Can't recommend enough, one you go you'll understand. Very gentle especially with people like me who have had a lot of previous work done and struggle with going to the dentist.

I had a couple of wisdom teeth extracted yesterday. I am very impressed with Dr Mikhil spending an appropriate amount of time explaining the procedure and answering my questions. Also he is your dentist to the rescue if you have a low pain threshold and anxiety with dental procedures (most of us do!). The entire experience was so relaxed and top notch, from the highly professional attitude of front desk staff Olivia and Kori and the diligent care of the nurses Zakiya and Sho. The cherry on top was the very reasonable cost of the procedure. I would have happily paid a premium considering the

Dr iram hasan was fantastic with my tooth, that needed a root canal treatment. She was very friendly, gentle and she made sure I didnt have any pain. I would highly recommend her, for any tooth problems. Mind you all the dentists here are fantastic, wouldnt have it any other way. I spent a long time looking for a good dental clinic and I have certainly found one. Not far where I live, my dad goes there now . Soon my whole family will go there.
Thankyou for everything you do.
