Emergency Dental Care
Our 24-hour emergency service addresses sudden dental trauma, toothaches, and abscesses with immediate pain relief solutions. Our experienced team provides urgent extractions, crown re-cementing, and denture repairs while prioritising patient comfort. We offer after-hours appointments for critical dental emergencies requiring prompt attention.
Orthodontic Treatment
Specialist orthodontic care includes traditional metal braces, ceramic options, and Invisalign aligners for correcting misaligned teeth and jaws. Our certified orthodontist provides early intervention for children aged 7-8 and comprehensive treatment for adults. We focus on improving bite function, speech difficulties, and facial aesthetics through customised treatment plans.
Dental Implants
Permanent tooth replacement solutions using titanium implants that fuse with jawbone tissue for lasting stability. Our implant process includes initial bone assessment, surgical placement, and custom crown fitting. This service restores chewing function and prevents bone loss while maintaining natural facial structure.

Our in-clinic and take-home options target surface and deep-set discoloration while maintaining enamel integrity through controlled application processes.

Report
I can say i worked here years ago and wouldn't recommend him. Not only is he rude to staff and clients he teaches staff not to sterilize properly. Ravi is very unprofessional. Belittling is his go too. I actually can't believe his still in business.

Saw Dr Ravi this morning for an emergency. He saw me in his lunch break, just to get me out of pain. Most caring dentist ever. And very affordable. Highly recommended.
