Tooth Extractions
Professional removal of problematic teeth including impacted wisdom teeth. Our dentists use modern techniques with sedation options to ensure comfort. We handle complex cases through partnerships with oral surgeons while prioritising pain management and post-operative care. Emergency extraction services available same-day.
Root Canal Treatments
Specialist treatment for infected tooth pulp using microscopic technology. We preserve natural teeth through multi-visit procedures involving nerve removal, canal cleaning, and sealing. Crown recommendations follow for structural integrity. Most patients report minimal discomfort comparable to routine fillings.
Periodontics Treatments
Advanced gum disease management including scaling, root planing, and surgical grafting. We restore receding gums and rebuild bone structure using laser technology for faster healing. Personalised plans address both functional and aesthetic concerns while preventing systemic health complications.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Custom smile transformations through veneers, whitening, and implants. Our dentists create natural-looking results using premium materials matched to facial features. Services include Invisalign, bonding, and full smile makeovers with durable, stain-resistant solutions for long-term confidence.
Dentures
Custom-fitted full and partial dentures for functional restoration. We offer immediate dentures post-extraction and chrome framework options for comfort. Our process includes precise impressions and multiple fittings to ensure optimal bite alignment and speech functionality while maintaining natural aesthetics.

I visited Island Dental after having a bad experience at another practice. As soon as I walked in the door and met Kylie the lovely receptionist I knew this place was going to be good. Dr Girish made me feel very comfortable in the chair and it was a very pleasant experience and I am looking forward to visiting again for my next check up.

Great experience with Dr Girish. He fixed up a poor job done by another dentist - the whole staff put me at ease, and the process was very quick and affordable. Could not recommend more highly.
