Laser Gummy Smile Treatment
Laser gummy-smile treatment removes excess gum tissue for a balanced tooth-gum ratio. The precise laser reduces bleeding. You enjoy quicker healing and a more harmonious smile.

Sports Guard
A custom sports guard fits over the teeth to protect them and the jaws during physical activity, helping to reduce the risk of dental injuries from impacts.

Missing Teeth Replacement
We offer implants, bridges, and dentures to replace missing teeth. Each option is designed to fit securely and support oral function. The choice of restoration depends on your individual needs.

Laser Gum Depigmentation
Laser gum depigmentation lightens dark gum patches by removing pigmented cells. The non-invasive treatment restores uniform gum colour. You reveal a healthier-looking gumline.

Sleep Apnea Device
A sleep apnea device repositions the jaw to help keep airways open overnight. The oral appliance is worn during sleep to maintain its position. This supports consistent airflow throughout the night.

Invisalign
Invisalign uses a series of custom clear aligners to move teeth gradually. The aligners do not contain any metal wires and can be removed while eating.

Dental Mouth Guard
Night-time mouth guards help prevent damage from teeth grinding and clenching. The custom tray fits over your teeth to stay in place during sleep. The guard supports enamel protection and stabilizes jaw alignment.

Dental Porcelain Veneer
Dental porcelain veneers are thin ceramic shells bonded to the front of the teeth. They cover chips, stains, and minor misalignments to change the appearance of teeth.

ICON Resin Infiltration
The ICON resin infiltration procedure manages white spot lesions on teeth without drilling or local anaesthetic, helping to preserve healthy enamel in a minimally invasive way.

Smile Improvement
Smile improvement enhances your smile by combining treatments such as veneers, whitening, and bonding to adjust tooth alignment, colour, and shape. Every case is unique, so treatment plans may vary.

Same Day Dentures
Same day dentures use digital design and milling to create full arches in a single visit. The dentures are adjusted as needed for proper fit and function.

Tooth Extraction
Tooth extraction removes teeth that cannot be restored, performed under local anaesthetic. Healing instructions are provided after the procedure. The process supports recovery of normal oral function.

Toothache
Toothache relief treatment addresses the underlying cause of tooth pain. Options may include dental fillings, root canal therapy, or extraction. The procedure aims to restore normal tooth function.

Digital X-Rays
Digital X-rays capture detailed images using less radiation than traditional film. The images are available immediately for review. They help identify decay, infection, and bone structure for clinical assessment.

TMJ Disorder
TMJ treatment addresses jaw-joint issues using mouthguards, physiotherapy, or injections. Therapy is selected based on your specific symptoms. The approach supports gradual restoration of jaw function.

Kids’ Dental Care
Kids’ care includes routine check-ups and cleanings adapted for children. Appointments cover guidance on daily habits and monitor growth of teeth and jaws. Parents receive advice to support care at home.

Dental Bridge
Dental bridges replace one or more adjacent missing teeth with a fixed appliance. The restoration is supported by surrounding teeth. The procedure maintains chewing function.

Dental Crowns
Dental crowns cap weakened or broken teeth with a custom restoration. They restore strength and shape to the tooth. Dental crowns can be fabricated on the same day at Dental Designs Clinic.

Holistic Dentistry
Holistic dentistry considers overall health and lifestyle in treatment planning. This approach focuses on integrating dental care with your broader health needs.

Airflow Cleaning
Airflow cleaning uses a jet of water, air, and fine powder to remove surface stains. It can reach areas that are difficult to access with routine brushing, leaving teeth cleaner and brighter.

Clear Retainer
Clear retainers maintain teeth positions after orthodontic treatment. The removable, transparent tray fits over your teeth. The appliance helps keep teeth in their corrected positions over time.

Teeth Whitening
Our signature teeth whitening involves applying a bleaching gel that targets surface stains, safely and effectively brightening your smile.

Dental Fillings
Composite fillings are used to treat teeth affected by decay or trauma. The material is matched to tooth colour and bonds directly to the enamel. The procedure re-establishes the tooth’s form and function.

Scaling and Polishing
Scaling removes plaque and hardened tartar from teeth and gums, while polishing smooths the enamel to help prevent buildup. It is recommended to get scaling and polishing every 6 months.

Invisalign+ For Kids
Invisalign+ For Kids straightens teeth in children aged 5 to 18, making use of their natural growth spurts to guide teeth into place and create a functional, stable bite.

General Checkup
General checkup looks for signs of decay, gum disease, and oral cancer. We review your dental history, and X-rays are taken if required. The appointment ends with care advice based on the clinical findings.

Invisalign+
Building on the success of our conventional Invisalign programme, Invisalign+ offers a faster path to your dream smile, with most cases completing in just 6 to 12 months.

Full Mouth Rehabilitation
Full mouth rehabilitation restores an entire set of teeth, using a combination of restorations such as crowns, bridges, and implants to improve both function and appearance.
