Services

Cosmetic Dentistry

Our cosmetic dentistry services transform smiles through teeth whitening, veneers, and smile makeovers. We use advanced materials and techniques to address discolouration, chips, and misalignments while maintaining natural aesthetics. Our dentists combine artistic skill with technical expertise to create beautiful, functional results that boost confidence. Treatments are tailored to individual facial structures and oral health conditions, ensuring long-lasting outcomes that complement each patient's unique features.

Dental Implants

We provide permanent tooth replacement solutions using titanium dental implants that integrate naturally with jawbone tissue. Our comprehensive implant process includes bone assessment, surgical placement, and custom crown fabrication. With success rates exceeding 95%, our implant treatments restore full chewing function while preventing bone loss. Our team utilises 3D imaging technology for precise placement and offers guided surgery for optimal outcomes.

General Dentistry

Our preventive dental programs focus on maintaining optimal oral health through regular check-ups, professional cleanings, and early disease detection. Services include fluoride treatments, dental sealants, and comprehensive oral cancer screenings. We educate patients on effective home care routines while using advanced diagnostic tools to identify potential issues before they become serious. Our approach prevents dental problems and reduces long-term treatment costs.

Emergency Dental

We provide immediate treatment for dental trauma, infections, and severe pain outside regular hours. Our emergency services address broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, abscesses, and other acute conditions requiring prompt attention. We prioritise same-day appointments for urgent cases and employ pain management techniques to provide rapid relief. Our team is trained in trauma management and restorative procedures for emergency situations.

Root Canal Treatment

Our root canal treatments save infected or damaged teeth using modern endodontic techniques. We employ digital imaging and rotary instrumentation for precise cleaning and filling of root canals. The procedure alleviates pain caused by pulp inflammation while preserving natural tooth structure. Most treated teeth receive protective crowns to ensure long-term functionality and aesthetics.

The tooth cleaning was really quick, and the staff are really nice. All in all, a nice experience considering it was the dentist

Finally managed to get an emergency booking here while other dentals were fully booked and turned me down. Dr Nicole will be sacrificing her lunch break for my 2 year old. Thank you so much, Dr Nicole. Youre a gem. Thank you so much.

I always receive amazing dental care each time I come here for my regular check-ups. Dr Alvin is very experienced, patient, and gentle. The dental nurse and receptionist Elaine are also very friendly, and makes my overall experience comfortable! :)

What a wonderful dental experience. Nearly 60 years of attending dental practices, this was the best, great staff and a lovely gentle and very through dentist.

Radical neglect meant I needed intensive dental work over a 10 year period on (initially) a limited budget. Suggested treatments varied surprisingly when I shopped around w my X rays.
Settled on Alvin Shee, whom I've since followed from his prev. CBD clinic to this new premises. Periodically tried someone a bit cheaper or more conveniently located: not worth it. No dentist I have seen is as competent, frank & efficient.. nor as aware of advances in techniques & materials (e.g. recently talked me through pros & cons of German vs cheaper Israeli manufacture implants; happy to work with whichever
