At a private clinic, you get personalised care with appointments tailored to your needs. We provide you with a letter of support and a treatment plan. In this process, you call the local hospital and hope that they are sympathetic to your needs and send a dental voucher. The issue with this process is that they will ask you if you're in pain or if it is an urgent issue. They will then triage your condition and place you on a waiting list.

They may call you in to get the work done, but the usual waiting times in 1 year to 1. At this time the problem usually gets worse and the tooth usually has to be removed. Because there is no set treatment plan or letter of support from an authorised dentist, they can't really understand what is going on inside your mouth. This is why the waiting times are significantly longer for this method. Our private dental clinic is exceptional at getting patients out of pain.

We pride ourselves on working hard and working late to meet your needs. We are open till 8 pm on all weekdays and are also open on the weekends.
