Services
Dental Crowns
Custom-fabricated porcelain or zirconia caps restore damaged teeth. Used to protect weakened teeth, repair fractures, or improve aesthetics. Our CEREC technology enables same-day crowns with precise digital scanning and in-house milling, eliminating multiple visits and temporary crowns.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Specialised extraction of impacted or problematic wisdom teeth. Using advanced imaging and local or general anaesthesia, we perform surgical removals with post-operative care guidance. Follow-up appointments ensure proper healing and stitch removal when required.
Dental Implants
Permanent solutions for missing teeth using titanium-root replacements. With Cone Beam CT diagnostics and bone augmentation capabilities, we place implants that fuse with jawbone for stable, natural-feeling replacements. Services range from single implants to full-mouth rehabilitation.
Dental Veneers
Thin porcelain shells bonded to teeth for aesthetic improvements. Correct chipped, stained, or misaligned teeth with durable, stain-resistant veneers. Custom-shaped to match natural teeth, requiring two visits for preparation and bonding.
Root Canal Treatment
Treatment for infected or inflamed tooth pulp. Involves cleaning root canals, disinfecting, and sealing to preserve natural teeth. Often followed by crown placement for protection, preventing extraction and maintaining dental function.

Report
I had a mouth splint made 2 months ago by Doctor Tran to stop my snoring and it works perfectly. Its custom made for my mouth and is designed to bring the bottom jaw forward a few millimeters which stops the snoring. It took a few weeks to get used to wearing but now my wife is happy. Thanks from David

Report
My partner had his full top teeth removed for dentures, we got there for the appointment and the dentures were not ready after 8 weeks, we went back later that day ,so dentures were rushed to be made, Dr Tan didn't give any pain killers just antibiotics, 4 days later my partner still can't eat and is in pain, Dr Tan didn't want to know, the dentures don't fit right and all Dr Tan can say is they need fitting, untrue, they were made in a rush and they need doing properly.i have pictures to prove he is a butchered his gums.
3 weeks later and we have gone back as they still don't fit, I have never
