We recommend scheduling a dental check-up every six months. Regular visits allow us to detect any potential issues early and help you maintain optimal oral health.

During your check-up, our dentists will examine your teeth, gums, and overall oral health. We may take digital x-rays to get a detailed view of your teeth and identify any hidden issues. We'll also discuss any concerns you have and provide personalized advice on maintaining your dental health.

If you have a dental emergency during our regular hours, contact us between 9:00 AM and 9:30 AM, and we’ll do our best to accommodate you the same day. For out-of-hours emergencies, you can visit the Local Area Emergency Dental Clinic at Craigavon Area Hospital. This service is for genuine emergencies such as trauma, swelling, bleeding, or severe pain.

Composite bonding is a non-invasive procedure that corrects minor imperfections such as chips, gaps, or discoloration. We apply a tooth-colored resin to your teeth, sculpting and bonding it for a natural look. It’s ideal for those looking for a quick and painless solution to improve their smile.

Our teeth whitening treatments use advanced systems that are both safe and effective. Whether you choose an in-surgery treatment or a customised at-home kit, the whitening process is tailored to your teeth and delivers significant results in a short time.

Veneers require the same care as natural teeth. Brush and floss regularly, and avoid biting down on hard objects to prevent damage. We’ll provide you with an aftercare package that includes detailed instructions to help your veneers last for many years.

Fissure sealants are protective coatings applied to the grooves of your child’s molars and premolars. They act as a barrier against bacteria and food particles, reducing the risk of cavities. This simple and painless procedure is particularly beneficial for children’s long-term dental health.

If you have tooth pain without facial swelling, over-the-counter painkillers can help. Avoid hot, cold, or hard foods that might worsen the pain. For severe swelling, especially if it affects your breathing or swallowing, seek immediate medical attention. Otherwise, contact us during opening hours for treatment.

We accept various forms of payment, including most dental insurance plans. Please contact our office to discuss your specific insurance coverage or payment plan options.
