Routine Dental Examination

We offer a comprehensive range of Routine Dental Examination services tailored to meet the oral health needs of your entire family. Our goal is to make every visit comfortable and stress-free, while helping you maintain a healthy, radiant smile through preventative care and early intervention.

A Routine Dental Examination is your first line of defence against common oral health issues. These regular check-ups allow us to detect early signs of problems such as cavities, gum disease, and other conditions—before they become more serious.

Routine visits not only protect your oral health but also help you avoid the cost and discomfort of extensive treatments. By focusing on prevention, we support your overall well-being and keep your smile healthy for life.

Our Routine Dental Examination includes a full spectrum of preventative and diagnostic services:

  • Comprehensive Dental Examinations
    A thorough assessment of your oral health using the latest dental technology.

  • Dental Fillings
    High-quality materials used to restore decayed teeth and maintain a natural appearance.

  • Digital X-Rays
    Advanced imaging technology to identify underlying issues with minimal radiation exposure.

  • Oral Cancer Screenings
    Early detection through careful screenings, included as part of your routine check-up.

  • Fluoride Treatments
    Strengthens enamel and helps prevent decay—especially beneficial for children and teens, but helpful for adults too.

  • Sealants
    A protective coating applied to molars and premolars to help guard against cavities.

  • Oral Hygiene Education

We generally recommend a routine check-up every 6 to 12 months, though some patients may require more frequent visits depending on their individual dental needs. We’ll create a personalised care schedule during your examination.

To keep your teeth and gums healthy between visits, follow these key practices:

  • Brush twice a day for two minutes using a fluoride toothpaste.

  • Floss or use interdental brushes daily to clean between teeth.

  • Use an antimicrobial mouthwash to reduce bacteria and freshen breath.

  • Maintain a balanced diet and limit sugary foods and drinks.

Oral Hygiene

In today’s world, your smile is more than just a part of your personality—it’s a reflection of your overall health. At our Practice, we go beyond simply treating dental issues. We focus on prevention, education, and personalised care to keep your smile vibrant and healthy for years to come.

Oral Hygiene is the foundation of good dental health. It involves daily habits and professional care that keep your mouth clean, fresh, and free of disease.

Maintaining proper oral hygiene helps prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and halitosis (bad breath)—conditions that can escalate into more serious health problems if left untreated. With Dr Darby-Wade’s comprehensive and preventative approach, you’re not just protecting your smile—you’re supporting your overall well-being.

Our Oral Hygiene services are tailored to suit each patient’s unique needs. You can expect:

  • Comprehensive Dental Examination
    Dr Darby-Wade performs a thorough assessment of your teeth, gums, and mouth, using advanced diagnostic tools to catch any issues early.

  • Professional Cleaning
    Even with regular brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar can build up over time. Our gentle yet thorough cleaning removes these deposits, leaving your mouth refreshed.

  • Personalised Oral Hygiene Plan
    Based on your exam, we’ll design a tailored home care routine—recommending the best techniques and dental products for your specific needs.

  • Education & Prevention
    We believe in empowering you with knowledge. Dr Darby-Wade and our team provide expert advice on oral hygiene, diet, and lifestyle habits that promote long-term dental and general health.

Most patients benefit from a dental check-up and professional cleaning every 6 to 12 months, but your ideal schedule will depend on your oral health status and risk factors. Dr Darby-Wade will recommend the best frequency based on your individual needs.

  • Prevents Dental Diseases
    Regular hygiene appointments reduce the risk of cavities, gum disease, and other oral health concerns.

  • Enhances Your Smile
    Clean, healthy teeth support a brighter, more confident smile.

  • Improves Overall Health
    A healthy mouth is linked to heart health, brain function, and more—oral care plays a crucial role in your total body wellness.

  • Saves Money in the Long Run
    Preventative care is more cost-effective than complex treatment. Investing in regular cleanings helps avoid expensive procedures later.

Dental Implants

Restore Your Smile. Rebuild Your Confidence.

At our Practice, we believe in restoring more than just teeth—we restore confidence, comfort, and quality of life. Dr Paul A. Darby-Wade and his team offer expert, patient-focused care in Dental Implants, using advanced technology and a compassionate approach to help you smile, speak, and eat with confidence again.

Dental Implants are a long-term, reliable solution for replacing missing teeth. They serve as a sturdy foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function just like your natural ones.

Whether you’re missing one tooth or several, implants offer a permanent and aesthetically pleasing solution that blends seamlessly with your smile—allowing you to enjoy your favourite foods, speak clearly, and feel confident in every social situation.

We understand that any surgical procedure can feel intimidating. That’s why we’re with you every step of the way—from your initial consultation to the final placement of your implant.

We take the time to explain the process, answer all your questions, and make sure you feel fully informed, comfortable, and confident in your care.

  • Expert Care
    Dr Darby-Wade and our skilled team have the experience and precision required to ensure a successful implant placement and natural-looking result.

Endodontics

Relief from Pain. Protection for Your Smile.

Endodontics is the field of dentistry focused on treating the inside of your tooth. At our Practice, we specialise in providing gentle, effective Endodontic care that’s designed to be straightforward, stress-free, and always patient-centered. Our goal is to help you preserve your natural teeth and leave every visit with comfort—and a brighter smile.

Endodontics involves diagnosing and treating issues with the dental pulp—the soft tissue inside your tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels. When the pulp becomes inflamed, infected, or damaged due to decay, trauma, or cracks, Endodontic treatment can save the tooth and relieve discomfort.

You may require Endodontic care if you experience:

  • Persistent tooth pain or sensitivity to hot or cold

  • Pain when chewing or touching the tooth

  • Discolouration of a tooth

  • Swelling or tenderness in the surrounding gums

  • Root Canal Therapy
    The most common Endodontic procedure, Root Canal Therapy involves gently removing the infected pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, and then sealing the space. Our team uses modern techniques to ensure the procedure is comfortable and virtually pain-free.

  • Endodontic Retreatment
    If a tooth that has already had a Root Canal doesn’t heal properly or becomes reinfected, Endodontic Retreatment may be recommended. This non-surgical procedure involves removing the original filling, cleaning and reshaping the canals, and then resealing the tooth.

  • Cracked Tooth Treatment
    Cracks or fractures in teeth can expose the pulp to bacteria, leading to infection or damage. We offer targeted treatments to save cracked teeth and prevent further issues.

We understand that the thought of Endodontic treatment—especially a Root Canal—can feel overwhelming. That’s why we take extra care to create a calm, supportive environment. Using advanced equipment and techniques, we perform all procedures with minimal discomfort. You’ll be fully informed every step of the way, so you can feel at ease and in control.

After your Endodontic treatment, our team will guide you through everything you need to know for a smooth recovery. You may experience some sensitivity or mild discomfort, but this usually subsides within a few days.

With proper oral hygiene and follow-up care, your treated tooth can last a lifetime.

Paediatric Dentistry

Paediatric Dentistry is more than just treating teeth—it’s about building lifelong healthy habits and creating positive dental experiences from the very first visit.

Paediatric Dentistry focuses on the unique dental needs of infants, toddlers, children, and teenagers. It’s not only about treatment—it’s about prevention, education, and helping children feel comfortable at the dentist from an early age.

Our goal is to set the stage for a lifetime of good oral health and ensure every child grows up with a happy, healthy smile.

The American Academy of Paediatric Dentistry recommends a child’s first dental visit by their first birthday or within six months after their first tooth appears.

An early start allows us to monitor development, detect potential issues early, and guide parents on best practices for home care.

    • Regular Check-ups & Cleanings
      Gentle exams and professional cleanings to keep little teeth bright and healthy.

      Early assessments help identify alignment issues or bite concerns at a stage when they’re easier to treat.

Restorative Dentistry

Restore Function. Enhance Beauty.

We specialise in Restorative Dentistry with a focus on White Fillings—a modern, safe, and aesthetically pleasing solution to treat tooth decay and enhance the natural look of your smile. Whether you’re looking to repair a cavity or improve the appearance of a tooth, our approach is designed to blend function and beauty seamlessly.

Say goodbye to noticeable metal fillings. White Fillings, also known as composite fillings, are a discreet and effective option that restores both the strength and appearance of your teeth. Carefully matched to your natural tooth colour, they offer a clean, confident finish.

  • Natural Aesthetic
    Blends seamlessly with your teeth for a subtle, polished appearance—ideal for visible areas of the mouth.

  • Functional Versatility
    In addition to treating decay, White Fillings can also improve tooth shape, size, or colour for aesthetic enhancements.

  • Durable & Strong
    Made from high-quality composite resin, they bond directly to the tooth, helping reinforce and support the natural structure.

  • Minimally Invasive
    Requires less removal of natural tooth material compared to traditional fillings, preserving more of your healthy tooth.

  • Getting a White Filling is a quick and comfortable process, usually completed in a single visit:

    1. Preparation
      The tooth is numbed to ensure comfort, and the decayed area is carefully removed.

    2. Placement
      The cavity is cleaned and prepped. The composite resin is applied in layers and hardened with a special curing light.

    3. Shaping
      The filling is shaped to match the natural contours of your tooth for a precise, comfortable bite.

    4. Polishing
      Finally, the surface is polished to a smooth finish, making it resistant to staining and wear.

With proper care, White Fillings can last for many years. To extend their lifespan, we recommend:

  • Regular dental check-ups and cleanings

  • Daily brushing and flossing

  • Avoiding habits like biting hard objects or using teeth to open packaging

Our team will also give you personalised advice to help maintain your restored smile for years to come.

If you need to repair a damaged or decayed tooth—or simply want a more natural alternative to traditional fillings—our White Fillings provide a solution that’s both functional and beautiful. Book your consultation today and take the first step towards a stronger, more confident smile.

Scale & Polish

Refresh Your Smile. Protect Your Health.

A bright, healthy smile starts with exceptional care—and that’s exactly what you’ll experience with our Scale & Polish treatment. Designed to leave your teeth feeling deeply clean and refreshed, this simple procedure plays a key role in preventing dental problems and supporting long-term oral health.

At our practice, we understand that dental visits can bring anxiety for some. That’s why we’ve made the process easy to understand and focused on your comfort every step of the way.

A Scale & Polish is a professional dental cleaning that removes the plaque and tartar that build up on your teeth—particularly in areas that brushing and flossing can’t reach. It helps prevent gum disease, cavities, and keeps your breath fresh and your smile bright.

  • Our experienced hygienist, Salo Maistry, combines expert skill with a gentle, patient-focused approach. Salo takes the time to understand your needs, making each visit as comfortable and personalised as possible.

    Using advanced equipment and modern techniques, we ensure your treatment is efficient, thorough, and reassuring—whether it’s your first appointment or part of ongoing care.

  • The Scale & Polish is a two-step procedure:

    1. Scaling
      Using precise instruments, Salo gently removes plaque and hardened tartar from the surfaces of your teeth and along the gumline—areas that home care can’t fully clean.

    2. Polishing
      A high-powered brush and special polishing paste smooth the surface of your teeth. This not only helps remove some surface stains but also makes it harder for plaque to build up in the future.

Most patients experience no pain during a Scale & Polish—just a mild vibration or slight pressure. If you have sensitive teeth or gums, we can apply a topical anaesthetic to ensure your comfort. Our priority is always to make your visit as gentle and stress-free as possible.

The recommended frequency varies depending on your oral health, habits, and lifestyle. As a general guide:

  • Most patients benefit from a Scale & Polish every 6 months

  • Some may require more frequent cleanings, especially if they’re prone to gum disease or have braces

Dr Darby-Wade will help determine the best schedule for your individual needs.

  • 🦷 Prevents Gum Disease
    Removes plaque and tartar buildup that can cause inflammation and infection.

  • 🌟 Brighter Smile
    Polishing removes surface stains for a cleaner, more radiant appearance.

  • 😮‍💨 Fresher Breath
    Say goodbye to halitosis caused by bacteria and buildup.

  • 💪 Protects Overall Health
    Good oral hygiene supports better systemic health, reducing risks linked to heart disease and diabetes.

  • 💰 Saves Money in the Long Run
    Preventative care is more affordable than treating avoidable problems later.

No special preparation is needed! Simply continue your regular oral hygiene routine:

    • Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste

    • Floss or use interdental brushes once a day

    • Let us know if you have any concerns or sensitivity ahead of your visit

Our Whitening Treatment uses a professional-grade bleaching agent that penetrates the enamel and breaks down stain molecules, revealing a whiter, brighter appearance.

Fastbraces®

A Faster, Smarter Path to a Straighter Smile

Say goodbye to long orthodontic treatments! At our practice, we’re proud to offer FASTBRACES®—a revolutionary technology designed to straighten teeth in significantly less time than traditional braces. With a focus on comfort, speed, and personalised care, we’ll guide you every step of the way on your journey to a beautifully aligned smile.

FASTBRACES® is a modern orthodontic system that moves both the crown and root of the tooth simultaneously—dramatically reducing treatment time. Unlike traditional braces, which move the crown first and the root later, Fastbraces do both at once for faster and more efficient results.

Fastbraces use:

  • 🔺 Triangular Brackets – These brackets are designed to increase flexibility and efficiency.

  • 🧵 A Single High-Tech Wire – This wire works with the brackets to gently reposition your teeth from day one.

The result? Less time in braces, fewer appointments, and minimal discomfort compared to conventional systems.

Fastbraces® are suitable for:

  • Teenagers and adults alike

  • Patients with crowded teeth

  • Gaps or spacing issues

  • Bite misalignments (overbite, underbite, crossbite)

If you’re seeking a faster, less intrusive option for orthodontic correction, Fastbraces may be the perfect solution. During your consultation, we’ll assess your unique needs and determine if Fastbraces are right for you.

✔️ Initial Consultation – We’ll evaluate your teeth and create a custom treatment plan.
✔️ Application – Brackets and wire are placed in one comfortable visit.
✔️ Regular Check-ins – Fewer appointments are needed due to the efficiency of the system.
✔️ Results in Months, Not Years – Many patients complete treatment in as little as 3–6 months.

✅ Expertise You Can Trust – We’re trained and experienced in delivering this advanced orthodontic solution.
✅ Patient-Focused Care – From start to finish, your comfort and confidence are our priorities.
✅ Modern, Welcoming Environment – Our practice combines state-of-the-art technology with a calm, friendly atmosphere.
✅ Tailored Solutions – We help you explore all options so you can choose what suits your lifestyle and goals best.
