Would you ask your GP to do open heart surgery? For the best outcome, you would seek or ask to be referred to a specialist with proper qualification, training, equipment set-up and most importantly extensive experience in the particular field.
Likewise, a general dentist deals with a person’s general dental issues. When a case is beyond their level of expertise, you get referred to a specialist.
We specialise in the field ofgum diseases (periodontics) and various surgical aspects of dental implants.
Often patients seek specialists themselves. Unlike medical specialists, referral is not mandatory to see a dental specialist.

By using advanced instrumentation in periodontics (gum disease treatment), we have optimised the success-rate of nonsurgical periodontal therapy. We are proud to say that significantly small group of our patients require further surgical periodontal management. Nonsurgical periodontal management has very fast recovery and it does not affect your personal life apart from having time off for your dental treatment.
We use a similar approach for dental implants keeping post-operative pain and swelling to a minimum, so that you can be a mum, dad, boss or employee as soon as possible.
For both Periodontics (gum disease) and Dental Implants, Evidence Based Approach is the practice hallmark:
Instead of “trial – and – error” approach with potential high complication rate and unknown (possibly poor) success rate, we practice based on peer-reviewed clinical knowledge (means research papers published in reputed scientific journals).
We don’t take short-cuts or use “cheap” products, we select implants and biomaterials with intense scrutiny about safety and long-term clinical performance.
We adopt an informed decision-making process; during consultation about your specific issue, we address full account of events that may possibly happen. We also provide the same brief in writing. You can then be the judge of your situation and make an informed choice for your own health.
