With over 40 years of trusted experience, our team offers tailored solutions designed to deliver lasting relief—not just temporary fixes.

Understanding Tooth Sensitivity
Tooth sensitivity occurs when the protective enamel layer wears away, exposing the dentin beneath. Dentin contains tiny tubules that connect directly to the tooth’s nerve, causing pain when exposed to:
- Hot or cold temperatures
- Sweet or acidic foods
- Pressure from chewing or brushing
A professional dental assessment helps determine exactly what’s causing your sensitivity.
Common causes include:
- Brushing too hard or using abrasive toothpaste
- Frequent consumption of acidic foods and drinks
- Gum recession exposing tooth roots
- Teeth grinding or clenching
- Acid reflux or enamel erosion
Our Personalised Sensitivity Solutions
Professional Assessment
We assess the location and severity of your sensitivity, examine your enamel and gums, and identify contributing factors. This allows us to create a targeted treatment plan rather than relying on generic solutions.
Fluoride Treatments
Professional fluoride applications strengthen enamel and help block the pathways that trigger sensitivity. These treatments provide fast relief with long-lasting benefits.
Desensitising Treatments
We apply professional-grade desensitising agents that seal exposed dentin and reduce pain signals. These treatments are more effective than over-the-counter products and deliver noticeable improvement.
Protective Restorations
If enamel damage is more advanced, tooth-coloured composite restorations may be recommended. These protect exposed areas, restore comfort, and maintain the natural appearance of your smile.
Preventative Care Guidance
We focus on preventing sensitivity from returning by providing practical, personalised advice, including:
- Gentle brushing techniques
- Dietary adjustments to reduce enamel wear
- Night guards for teeth grinding
- Use of fluoride rinses and desensitising products
Our preventative approach supports long-term comfort and enamel protection.
