Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent tooth replacement solutions using titanium screws fused with jawbone tissue. Our clinic offers natural-looking crowns mounted on implants for single or multiple missing teeth. This treatment restores chewing function and prevents bone loss while maintaining facial structure integrity.
Teeth Whitening
We offer professional in-chair and take-home teeth whitening systems to enhance smiles. Our treatments use safe bleaching agents to remove stains from coffee, wine, and smoking. Custom trays ensure even application while dental supervision minimises sensitivity risks during the whitening process.
Root Canal Treatment
Our specialists perform root canal treatments to save infected teeth by removing damaged pulp tissue. This procedure eliminates pain while preserving natural tooth structure. We use modern techniques to ensure comfortable treatment and long-term oral health maintenance.
Children's Dentistry
We provide child-friendly dental services to establish lifelong oral health habits. Our approach includes preventive treatments, early intervention, and positive reinforcement techniques. Regular check-ups help monitor development while educating young patients about proper dental care routines.
Night Guards
Custom-fitted night guards protect teeth from grinding damage during sleep. We create these appliances using precise dental impressions to ensure comfort and effectiveness. This treatment prevents enamel wear, jaw pain, and potential temporomandibular joint disorders associated with bruxism.

Root canal treatment. I was in so much pain prior to seeing Dr Pradani Kumar, Once the examination was finished, Dr Kumar went in and straight away done a amazing job to stop the pain. I sort of felt like her saying I promise you wont leave my clinic with any pain, which was what happened the pain had gone. When you make the phone call lou the angel from above will make it all better by just speaking to her, she is amazing

Dr Pradani is such a kind and caring dentist, doing a very thorough assessment while being so gentle with my three young children and myself. My youngest was actually excited to go in for his turn after the elder two went in! Lou (dental assistant/manager) always remembers her patients and shows extra effort to ensure everything runs smoothly. Highly recommend Hogans Road Dental!
