We have a special interest in the good oral health of our patients, be they the very young, in their teens, an adolescent and adults right through to our more senior citizens.

One of our main interests is in the field of Orthodontics and Dento-facial Orthodontics, using the latest and most successful, state-of -the-art technology for both diagnosis and treatment.

Our dentists here at Gentle Dental take the time to talk to our patients and parents, we like to make sure that our patients are comfortable with their treatment plans and understand not only the expected outcomes but also some of the inherent risks that may be associated with some treatments. We have developed network of specialists which can be called upon to help in the treatment goals should they be needed.

We are caring, sympathetic and NOT scary.

    A bit of an problem seen here at age 12, the upper arch was also quite narrow but the teeth were well-formed and well-shaped. The lower jaw was under-developed but we were able to manage the growth potential to aid in treatment.

    This was done rapidly and was only needed for 3 months.
