General Dentistry
Our general dentistry services include routine check-ups, professional cleanings, and preventative care to maintain optimal oral health. We focus on early detection of issues like decay or gum disease, offering X-rays, fluoride treatments, and fissure sealants. With a team experienced in treating patients of all ages, we ensure gentle, thorough care during biannual visits to prevent costly future treatments.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry services include teeth whitening, veneers, crowns, and clear aligners to improve smile aesthetics. We offer Invisalign, ClearCorrect, and Spark aligners for discreet teeth straightening. Our porcelain veneers address discolouration and chips, while professional whitening treatments brighten smiles in-chair or at home. These services combine functionality with aesthetic improvements to boost patient confidence through natural-looking results.
Restorative Dentistry
Restorative dentistry covers fillings, root canals, extractions, and dentures to repair damaged or missing teeth. We use natural-looking composite fillings and perform deep cleanings for gum disease. Root canal therapy saves infected teeth, while dental implants and bridges offer permanent tooth replacement solutions. Our team ensures treatments restore both function and appearance, using durable materials for long-term oral health.
Children's Dentistry
Our child-friendly dental services include check-ups, cleanings, and treatments tailored to young patients. We accept the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) with bulk billing available, and our team works at each child's pace to build trust. Services cover preventative care, fillings, and emergency treatment, with educational resources to help parents maintain home oral hygiene routines for developing teeth.
Emergency Dental Care
Emergency dental services address sudden issues like toothaches, broken teeth, or abscesses outside regular hours. We prioritise same-day appointments for urgent cases, providing pain relief and stabilisation. Treatments may include extractions, root canals, or temporary solutions until full restoration. Our team ensures prompt, compassionate care to resolve acute dental problems and prevent complications.

Nevila at Avadent Dental Centre is the most wonderful and lovely dentist there ever. The best dental centre because of Nevila. My family and I have gone and been through many dental centres and we have never find a dentist that is so lovely, caring and when my two boys first time met Nevila they were very young and bringing your children to a dentist is a stressful experience for new moms however with Nevila we immediately love her so much. My two boys were so comfortable with her, felt so safe and not scared or cry at all. They love her so much and so happy and are always excited to go to the

Zamira was great - she talked me through the whole process during my check up. Also gave me explicit instructions on what I should be doing. One of the best dentists I've seen!

Just returned from the Dentist at Avadental. I was very impressed with Dr Zamira .Dr Zamira has a very gentle calming manner and very professional. She took the time to explain what she was doing. I would not hesitate to recommend her to others.
