Orthodontics & Airway
Do you do orthodontics for adults as well as children?
Yes. Braces and clear aligners (Invisalign™) for all ages. Treatment is provided by our general dentists, who have additional orthodontic training (not specialist orthodontists); we refer to specialists when that's in your best interest.
What is an airway-focused assessment?
Alongside teeth and gums we screen breathing, sleep signs, tongue posture and swallowing. The things that shape jaw growth, energy and long-term health. More on our airway-focused approach.
My child snores and grinds. Is that a dental issue?
It can be part of one story: obstructed night-time breathing. Research links childhood grinding with airway obstruction (like enlarged adenoids/tonsils), and snoring with the narrow-palate pattern we screen for. An assessment connects the dots. And sometimes the answer is an ENT referral, not braces.
Holistic Options
Can I request a fluoride-free clean? Coming soon
Yes. Just mention it when booking. We'll tailor prevention to your preferences and individual risk, with an honest rundown of pros and cons.
Are your fillings amalgam-free?
Yes. We place tooth-coloured, mercury-free restorations bonded conservatively to your tooth.
