Services
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening treatments, including take-home kits and in-clinic Zoom sessions, effectively remove stains and brighten smiles. Our solutions use safe, dentist-approved methods tailored to individual sensitivity levels. Patients achieve noticeable results in one session or gradually at home.
Dental Implants
Permanent dental implants restore missing teeth with natural-looking crowns anchored to titanium posts. This solution prevents bone loss and offers durability comparable to natural teeth. Our process includes consultation, placement, and custom crown fabrication for seamless integration.
Orthodontics
Invisalign, ClearCorrect, and Inman Aligner systems straighten teeth discreetly. Treatments address crowding, spacing, and bite issues using removable or fixed appliances. Personalised plans ensure gradual, comfortable alignment improvements for teens and adults.
Emergency Care
Same-day appointments for toothaches, broken teeth, and knocked-out teeth. Immediate interventions include pain management, temporary restorations, and emergency extractions. Our team prioritises rapid relief and stabilisation to prevent complications.
Child Dental Benefits
Eligible children receive up to $1,000 in covered dental treatments over two years under the CDBS. Services include check-ups, cleaning, fillings, and extractions. We focus on creating positive early experiences to establish lifelong oral hygiene habits.

Friendly and well run clinic. I have a fear of Dentists so after looking for a suitable one I was recommended to try Dr Jason Thitch. This man was superb and I no longer fear my dental appointments. If you don't have extras cover, consider Smiles dental cover which gives you sizeable discounts on your dental work and is cheap to join.

Dentists and staff are friendly and very professional, prices are reasonable and they explain the procedure before beginning and answer all your questions. The clinic is clean and I would highly recommend anybody who is hesitant to visit them. Excellent service

We had a very pleasant experience over the weekend with Dr Lara Khan at United Smiles. My son was very anxious initially about the appointment, but we felt at ease right through the start
as Dr Lara was very patient and understanding. The doctor is very professional, she takes time to explain what needs to be done and provides good care. It is not easy to find good dentist
these days. Thank you United Smiles and Dr Lara. See you soon.
