Services

Dental Implants

Dental implants provide a permanent solution for missing teeth using titanium posts surgically placed in the jaw. This treatment restores full functionality and aesthetics, mimicking natural teeth. Ideal for patients seeking durable, long-term tooth replacement options.

Teeth Whitening

Professional teeth whitening treatments effectively remove stains caused by food, drinks, and aging. We offer custom tray systems and in-clinic procedures for safe, noticeable results. Our supervised methods ensure optimal outcomes with minimal sensitivity.

Orthodontics

We correct misaligned teeth and jaws using modern orthodontic techniques. Treatment options include traditional braces and clear aligners for improved bite function and aesthetics. Personalised plans address individual dental development needs.

Root Canal Treatment

This procedure saves severely damaged teeth by removing infected pulp tissue. Advanced techniques ensure minimal discomfort while preserving natural tooth structure. Post-treatment restoration completes the healing process.

Preventative Dental Care

Regular check-ups and cleanings prevent dental issues through early detection. We use diagnostic tools like Diagnodent laser for accurate decay identification. Education on proper hygiene techniques complements professional care.

The best dental experience Ive ever had! I came to see Dr De Silva with severe sensitivity after having work done at another clinic.
Dr De Silvas whole approach was so calming and reassuring, she instantly made me feel at ease. After receiving treatment on my teeth I have been completely pain free and feel like a new person! I cant thank her enough for helping me feel normal again. Will be taking my whole family to see her from now on.

Very helpful and friendly staff. Dr Di Silva is gentle and very thorough. I'm very confident she won't miss anything on my regular checks. I don't pay any gap for check and clean with my health fund. Would definitely recommend this practice.

My first visit at Kedron Dental and I couldnt be happier. The staff were lovely and friendly. Dr De Silva is very attentive and made sure I was comfortable, not in pain and explained what was happening at each stage. She is just a lovely person and it shines through in her work. A very relaxing environment to have your teeth tended to. Ive found my new long term dentist!
