General Dentistry
St. Pauls offers comprehensive general dentistry services for patients of all ages, including check-ups, fillings, root canal treatments, and extractions. Our preventative approach focuses on long-term oral health through regular hygiene visits and patient education. We use modern techniques and white fillings to ensure both functionality and aesthetics, with extended appointment times for thorough consultations and tailored treatment planning.
Dental Implants
Our implant services provide durable, natural-looking solutions for missing teeth using titanium fixtures integrated into the jawbone. With over 20 years of experience and advanced Cone Beam CT imaging, we ensure precise placement and high success rates. Full arch solutions require as few as four implants, and our team manages the entire process in-house for patient convenience and continuity of care.
Orthodontics
We offer traditional braces, lingual braces, and clear aligners like Invisalign to correct dental irregularities. Treatment plans address alignment, bite issues, and aesthetic concerns, with options for both adults and children. Our specialists use digital mapping and progressive aligner technology to achieve gradual, predictable results while maintaining comfort and discretion throughout the process.
Facial Aesthetics
Our facial aesthetics services include anti-wrinkle injections, dermal fillers, and skin boosters to enhance facial appearance. Treatments target lines, volume loss, and skin texture using hyaluronic acid and polynucleotide-based products. A consultation ensures personalised plans, with emphasis on natural results and skin health, delivered by qualified professionals in a dental setting.
Nervous Patient Care
We specialise in treating anxious patients through gentle communication, sedation options, and a calming environment. IV sedation is available for complex procedures, administered by certified practitioners. Our team, including Dental Phobia Certified dentist Dr. Rahul Sharma, focuses on building trust and ensuring comfort, with pre-treatment consultations to address individual concerns and fears.
