Services
Dental Implants
Our dental implants provide permanent tooth replacement solutions using biocompatible materials. The procedure involves surgically placing titanium posts into the jawbone, which fuse naturally with the bone to create stable anchors for crowns or bridges. This treatment restores full chewing function while preventing bone loss, offering both aesthetic and structural benefits for missing teeth.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment straightens teeth using custom-made transparent aligners. Patients receive sequential trays that gradually shift teeth into optimal positions over 12-14 months. The removable design allows normal eating and oral hygiene routines while correcting mild to moderate alignment issues. 3D imaging visualises treatment outcomes before starting.
Root Canal Therapy
This procedure treats infected or damaged tooth pulp by removing inflamed tissue and sealing the root canal system. Advanced techniques and local anaesthesia ensure minimal discomfort while preserving natural tooth structure. Post-treatment restoration with crowns protects the treated tooth from future damage.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening services use safe, effective bleaching agents to remove surface stains and deep discolouration. Custom take-home trays and in-clinic treatments deliver noticeable results while minimising sensitivity. The process enhances smiles by lightening teeth several shades for long-lasting aesthetic improvement.
Kids Dentistry
Specialised dental care for children focuses on preventative treatments and early intervention. Services include routine check-ups, fissure sealants, and gentle cavity management in a child-friendly environment. Our approach builds positive dental habits through education and age-appropriate communication techniques.

I had my first root canal today 14/12 and Dr Vincent Phan was awesome. Vincent explained the procedure in detail he and his assistant put me at ease and checked on me during the procedure. A great experience and no pain! 2-3 more visits to go, not a problem. Thanks Vincent!

Dr Vincent Phan was amazing and super friendly. Took out 2 wisdom teeth and a molar in 10 mins. Previous dentist took 15 painstaking mins to take out one molar. Can't recommend Dr Phan highly enough

I am writing this review for Dr Vincent Phan. I have been a patient of D-Spa for more than 4 years now. Out of all the dentists that have treated me during these four years I would like to say that Dr Vincent Phan is by far the best. I would like to cordially thank Dr Phan for the level of professionalism and personal care that he has shown and for treating my tooth in such a safe, efficient, effective and impeccable manner. Dr Phan is very friendly, very methodical, very caring and creates a safe environment. During all the procedures he always made sure to check on me in case I was in pain
