A dry socket occurs if the healing blood clot dissolves or dislodges, exposing sensitive bone and nerve endings. If you experience throbbing pain 2–3 days following an extraction, call us immediately on (096) 71438; we can relieve the pain almost instantly by applying a soothing medicated dressing.

Over-the-counter DIY kits can damage tooth enamel. We provide custom-fabricated dental whitening trays with dentist-prescribed Pola Night or Nite White gels for safe, predictable results, alongside in-surgery options.

A dental bridge is a permanent porcelain restoration replacing one or more missing teeth. It anchors firmly to adjacent crowns, eliminating removable clasps and restoring full biting power.
