What We can do for you?

Laser
Dentistry

Laser dentistry offers a modern and minimally invasive approach to a variety of dental procedures.
Using advanced laser technology, we can perform certain treatments with greater precision while reducing discomfort, bleeding, and recovery times compared to some traditional methods.

Inlays & Onlays

Inlays and onlays are custom-made restorative treatments used to repair teeth that are too damaged for a filling but do not require a full crown.
 
They are designed to restore strength, function, and appearance while preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible.

Orthodontics

Straight teeth contribute to both a beautiful smile and improved oral health. At Gentle Dental, we provide clear aligner orthodontics as a modern and discreet alternative to traditional braces.
Clear aligners are custom-made to gradually move teeth into their ideal position while allowing patients to maintain their normal lifestyle throughout treatment.

Veneers

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of the teeth to improve their appearance.
They are an excellent option for correcting a range of cosmetic concerns, including discolouration, chips, gaps, uneven shapes, and minor alignment issues.
We offer both porcelain and composite veneers, depending on your needs and treatment goals.

Advanced Dental Technology

At Gentle Dental, we invest in advanced dental technology to improve diagnostic accuracy, treatment planning, patient comfort, and clinical outcomes.
Our modern technology includes: Digital X-rays, Digital OPG imaging, Intraoral cameras, Digital impressions, Laser dentistry

No More uncomfortable impressions

Say goodbye to messy impression trays. Our advanced digital scanning technology captures fast, accurate 3D impressions of your teeth, providing a more comfortable experience and ensuring a precise fit for crowns, bridges, aligners, and other dental restorations.

Dentures

We provide high-quality denture solutions designed to restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Whether you require a new set of dentures, adjustments, repairs, or relines, our experienced team is here to support you with personalised care and attention.

Custom-made mouthguards

Custom-fitted mouthguards are an important form of protection for children who participate in sports and physical activities.
Unlike store-bought options, our professionally made mouthguards are designed to fit comfortably and securely, offering superior protection.

Peek Occlusal Splints

PEEK (Polyetheretherketone) splints offer a superior, metal-free alternative to traditional acrylic or metal nightguards. Their standout advantages include a bone-like elastic modulus for optimal shock absorption, a lightweight and thin profile that minimizes foreign body sensation, and complete biocompatibility for allergy-prone patients. PEEK Splints offer a lightweight, durable, and biocompatible solution with a natural, cushioned bite for superior comfort.

They resist plaque, protect natural teeth, and are safe for CT and MRI imaging.
