Laser Dentistry
Laser Dentistry at Heather Ridge utilizes the Solea laser for precise, pain-free treatments. This technology eliminates the need for drills and anesthesia in many procedures, reducing recovery time. Patients benefit from sterilization during treatment, minimizing infection risks while addressing cavities, gum disease, and biopsies.
Teeth Whitening
Our GLO Science Teeth Whitening system combines in-office and take-home treatments for lasting results. Using LED light and hydrogen peroxide gel, the process safely brightens smiles up to five shades in one visit. The method avoids sensitivity, ensuring comfort while removing stubborn stains.
Dental Implants
Dental Implants provide permanent solutions for missing teeth through titanium posts fused with jawbone. Options include single implants, bridges, and dentures anchored by 4-6 implants. These restorations prevent bone loss, restore function, and mimic natural teeth in appearance and durability.
Clear Aligners
Clear Aligners like Invisalign and SureSmile straighten teeth discreetly using custom trays. Patients wear aligners 20-22 hours daily, switching trays every two weeks. Benefits include faster treatment (6-12 months), no food restrictions, and easier oral hygiene compared to traditional braces.
Dental Veneers
Porcelain Veneers cover tooth imperfections with thin, stain-resistant shells. They address gaps, discoloration, and misshapen teeth while preserving natural enamel. The process involves consultation, preparation, and placement over three appointments, offering durable, natural-looking results lasting 15+ years.
