Temporomandibular Joint Management

TMJ management involves a range of treatments, including bite splints, to alleviate pain and dysfunction in the temporomandibular joint, often caused by bruxism, misalignment, or other factors.

Paediatric Dentistry

Paediatric dentistry focuses on the oral health of infants, children, and adolescents, providing preventive and therapeutic care to promote healthy teeth and gums. In some cases, general anaesthesia may be used to facilitate dental treatment for young patients who require complex procedures or have anxiety/fear, ensuring a safe and stress-free experience.

Active Aligners

Active aligners are custom-made orthodontic devices that use clear plastic trays to gradually shift teeth into proper alignment, offering a discreet and comfortable alternative to traditional braces.
