Yes, we accept GEMS, Discovery, Bonitas and also welcome private patients. If you are unsure what your plan covers, our team can help explain your options before treatment begins.
Your First Visit
Your first visit usually includes a discussion about your concerns, a dental examination, and clear guidance on any treatment you may need. We explain everything in plain language and answer your questions before moving forward with any treatment.
That depends on the reason for your visit, but most first appointments take between 30 and 60 minutes. If you are coming in for a check-up, emergency, or consultation, we will let you know what to expect when you book.
That is more common than most people think. Our team is experienced in helping anxious patients feel more comfortable by explaining each step clearly, moving at your pace, and creating a calm, non-judgmental environment.
Pricing and Payment
The cost depends on the treatment you need, the complexity of the case, and whether any additional work is required. We provide clear pricing upfront before treatment starts, so you always know what to expect.
For larger treatments, payment options may be available. The best way to get an accurate answer is to contact the clinic directly so we can explain the options based on your treatment plan.
That depends on your provider and the treatment involved. We can help you understand what may be covered and what your out-of-pocket costs may be before you commit.
Emergency Appointments
Yes, we keep same-day emergency slots available wherever possible for patients in pain. If you have a broken tooth, swelling, bleeding, or severe toothache, call us as early as possible so we can help.
A dental emergency may include severe tooth pain, swelling, bleeding, trauma to the mouth, a knocked-out tooth, or a broken tooth that is causing pain. If you are unsure, contact the clinic and we will guide you on what to do next.
Call the clinic straight away. Try to keep the area clean, avoid chewing on that side, and bring any broken pieces with you if possible.
Questions About Our Services
Yes. We offer professional teeth whitening designed to brighten your smile safely and more effectively than most over-the-counter kits. A consultation helps us decide if whitening is suitable for your teeth.
Yes. We provide orthodontic treatment options for children, teens, and adults, including braces and other alignment solutions depending on your needs.

Yes. We provide children’s dental care in a gentle, calm, and supportive environment. Early positive experiences matter, so we aim to make every child feel safe and comfortable.

Yes. If you need to move your appointment, please contact the clinic as soon as possible and the team will help you find another suitable time.
