The cost of private dental care varies depending on the treatment you need. We will always provide a clear breakdown of fees before starting any treatment.

Dental hygiene focuses on keeping your teeth and gums clean and healthy. A dental hygienist removes plaque and tartar build-up, polishes your teeth, and offers advice on brushing, flossing, and overall oral care. Regular hygiene appointments help prevent gum disease and maintain a healthy smile.

Orthodontic treatment is a branch of dentistry focused on correcting the alignment of teeth and jaws. It involves the use of appliances such as braces, clear aligners (e.g. Invisalign), or retainers to straighten teeth, close gaps, and improve bite function.

The cost of straightening your teeth with Invisalign treatment is determined by your doctor based on your specific needs including duration of treatment and the type of correction you are looking for.

Root canal treatment is a procedure used to treat infection or inflammation inside a tooth’s pulp (nerve) chamber. It involves removing the damaged tissue, cleaning and disinfecting the canal, and sealing it to prevent further infection. It helps save the natural tooth and relieve pain.

Pain months after a filling could be due to several reasons, such as a bite imbalance, nerve irritation, tooth fracture, or secondary decay under the filling. If you're experiencing persistent discomfort, it’s important to see your dentist for an evaluation.

A dental crown is a protective cap placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, strength, and function. Crowns are commonly used after root canal treatment, large fillings, or fractures, and can be made from porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination of materials.

The effects of teeth whitening typically last between 6 months to 2 years, depending on individual lifestyle factors such as diet, smoking, and oral hygiene habits. Regular maintenance and avoiding staining foods and drinks can help prolong results.

The cost of teeth whitening can vary based on the type of treatment offered. A consultation will help determine the best option for your needs and budget.

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells crafted from porcelain or composite resin that are bonded to the front surface of the teeth. They are used to improve the appearance of teeth by correcting issues such as discolouration, chips, gaps, or minor misalignments.

Composite veneers are made from tooth-coloured resin and applied directly to the teeth in layers. They are a more affordable and less invasive alternative to porcelain veneers, often completed in a single visit, but may require more maintenance over time.

Porcelain veneers typically last between 10 to 15 years with proper care, while composite veneers may last 4 to 8 years. Good oral hygiene, avoiding excessive biting forces, and regular dental check-ups help extend their lifespan.

A Hollywood smile refers to a comprehensive cosmetic dental treatment plan designed to enhance the appearance of the teeth and overall smile. It often includes a combination of procedures such as teeth whitening, dental veneers, orthodontics, and in some cases, crowns or bonding.
