Services
Dental Check-up
Regular dental check-ups are vital for maintaining optimal oral health. Our comprehensive examinations include oral cancer screenings, gum health assessments, and early detection of decay or alignment issues. Using advanced 3D imaging technology, we identify hidden problems and provide tailored preventive care. Patients receive professional cleanings to remove plaque and tartar buildup, ensuring long-term dental wellness.
Dental Implants
Dental implants offer a permanent solution for missing teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics. Our practice specialises in All-on-4/X and subperiosteal implants, utilising high-quality materials for durability. The process involves surgical placement of titanium posts followed by custom crowns or bridges. Patients benefit from improved chewing ability, facial structure preservation, and natural-looking results.
Root Canal Treatment
Root canal therapy saves infected or severely damaged teeth by removing inflamed pulp tissue. We use precision techniques to clean and seal root canals, eliminating pain and preventing extraction. The procedure includes local anaesthesia, decay removal, and placement of a protective crown. Success rates exceed 95%, preserving natural teeth for decades with proper care.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic services enhance smiles through teeth whitening, veneers, and bonding procedures. Porcelain veneers correct discoloration, chips, and gaps, while professional whitening systems brighten enamel safely. Smile makeovers combine multiple treatments for dramatic transformations. All procedures prioritise natural aesthetics and long-term oral health compatibility.
Emergency Appointments
We provide prompt treatment for dental emergencies including severe toothaches, knocked-out teeth, and broken restorations. Our team stabilises acute conditions to relieve pain and prevent complications. Same-day appointments ensure timely interventions for infections, trauma, or lost fillings. Emergency care includes temporary restorations and referrals for complex cases requiring specialist attention.

I had a crown done and this was performed by Dr Jijesh and Dr Turna. I was treated to 5 star care and performance. They recently implemented new equipment and the crown for my tooth was developed(designed) by state of the art scanning software and it was also machined while I waited! Now to say that is amazing is a massive understatement!!! You cannot get better value or service. I highly recommend Dr Jijesh and his wonderful team....Five Stars

After 16 years on the GC I have struggled to find a dentist that I trust & feel confident in their treatment & care. After a great friend recommended Ross at Palm Beach Dental I have never looked back. Absolutely amazing service & treatment by the entire team. I actually get excited to go & see how they are going to improve things & the care they always give. Do not hesitate . . . These guys deliver 👌🏽

I've always been very anxious regarding my dentist visits but not since Ross Norman has been treating me. I think I've been seeing him now for around 3 years and have to admit he's the ONLY one gentle enough to not hit my nerves and make me jump. I still ask to hold the stress balls (out of habit) but they really aren't necessary because he has never hurt yet. Old habits die hard! Hate to think who I'd go to if he retired.🤗

I recently had to have a lot of teeth removed at once. I was recommended to palm beach dental by a relative and am so glad I did go see him. From the moment you walk in the door, to multiple days after the ordeal, Linda and Ross were always there making sure everything was going well. I didnt feel much thru the surgery and surprisingly ...I had no pain or discomfort for the days to follow.. With that much work done and feeling fine
Dr Ross did an amazing job. Cant thank you enough.
