Certain dental procedures require an additional level of training and understanding. These treatments can only be practiced by dentists who have achieved an additional qualification in the specific field of dentistry.
Root Canal treatments are carried out when the inside of the tooth (the pulp) becomes infected or damaged. This can cause the root to be very painful, creating inflammation with the risk of severe pain and swelling.
Root canal treatment eliminates the cause of the pain by completely removing the diseased or damaged tissue from the tooth. The root canal is meticulously cleaned, shaped and decontaminated, before securely filling it back up with a durable, inert material.
This means you can be pain free whilst still keeping your original tooth. There have been great innovations in the last few years to improve the comfort, speed and efficiency of this treatment. Dr Allen Gaon, a registered specialist in Endodontics, brings extensive experience and advanced training to every case.

Gum disease affects the gums, bone and ligaments that support your teeth. These structures are the foundations that enable you to keep your teeth for life, but they can be damaged by bacterial infection.
If left untreated, gum disease can progress into a more serious condition, called periodontitis. In cases of periodontitis, the deeper structures of the tooth supporting apparatus, including the jawbone and the connecting ligaments, will be destroyed. Without treatment the supporting structures will have receded to such an extent that the teeth may be lost.
The main cause of this destructive process is bacteria, which form around the neck of the teeth in a sticky mass, called plaque or biofilm. Biofilm is an organised matrix for the bacteria to live in and multiply. Although bacteria are the main cause of periodontitis, gum disease is a multi-factorial disease. Other factors include smoking , genetics, hormonal changes (pregnancy), stress, certain medications and medical conditions such as diabetes and heart disease.
Treatment of periodontal disease at Edge Dental Care is provided by Dr Melissa Shemie, who has a special interest in periodontology and is currently completing her MSc in Periodontics at King’s College Hospital. With her advanced training and focused expertise, Dr Shemie carefully assesses the gum tissue to diagnose the type and stage of gum disease. The goal of treatment is to stop the disease from progressing and to preserve the patient’s natural teeth.

Dental implants are a long-lasting, highly effective solution for replacing missing teeth. Whether you've lost a tooth due to injury, decay, or gum disease, implants can help restore both the function and appearance of your smile.
A dental implant is a small titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as a secure and stable foundation for a replacement tooth. Over time, the implant fuses with the bone in a process called osseointegration, providing the same strength and reliability as a natural tooth root.
Once healed, the implant is topped with a custom-made crown that is colour-matched and shaped to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Implants can also be used to support bridges or dentures, offering greater stability and comfort compared to traditional options.
Dental implants are the gold standard for tooth replacement because they do not rely on adjacent teeth for support, help preserve the jawbone and prevent the shifting of surrounding teeth. They also restore confidence in eating, speaking and smiling.
With advancements in implant technology and techniques, the procedure is now more predictable, efficient and comfortable than ever before.
Our highly experienced team, including Dr Wayne Hirschowitz, Dr Jonathan Sacker and Dr Shandon Weinstein, bring extensive expertise in implant dentistry, ensuring the highest standard of care.
Even if you haven't visited the dentist in a while, as long as you have followed a good dental care routine at home the chances are your teeth will have remained in a fairly healthy condition.
If you require restorative dental treatment, its likely you have lost part of or a whole tooth, have damaged your jaw or gums or require advance treatment below the gum line.
At Edge Dental Care, our dentists can help restore your oral structures and prosthetically replace any missing teeth. We aim to assist our patients in achieving optimum dental health, function and aesthetics.
Whether your dental problem is large or small, or you have one concern or several, we will use a range of dental treatments and specialists to help get your dental health back on track.

Paediatric dentistry focuses on the dental care and development of children, from infancy through to their teenage years. Early experiences with the dentist play a vital role in shaping a child’s long-term attitude to oral health, so at Edge Dental Care, we aim to make every visit as positive, comfortable and educational as possible.
Children’s teeth go through many changes as they grow, from the eruption of baby teeth to the transition to adult teeth. Regular dental visits during this time allow us to monitor development, catch problems early and offer tailored advice to support healthy habits at home.
Common treatments in paediatric dentistry include cleaning and fluoride application, fissure sealants to protect back teeth, fillings for decay and guidance on orthodontic development. Just as importantly, we focus on prevention – helping children understand the importance of brushing, diet and routine.
Our team is experienced in working with children of all ages, including those who may be nervous or require extra reassurance. We use gentle techniques and a friendly approach to make dental visits something they can look forward to rather than fear.
At Edge Dental Care, we believe that establishing strong foundations early through paediatric dental care helps ensure children grow up with healthy, confident smiles that last a lifetime. Our paediatric services are led by Dr Heliotis (BDS, MFDS MPaedDent RCSE), a registered specialist in Paediatric Dentistry. Having completed her specialist training at the Royal London Dental Hospital and as a member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Dr Heliotis brings extensive experience in managing children of all ages, including those with special educational needs. She provides compassionate, high-quality care, with the option of inhalation sedation for children who experience dental anxiety.
At Edge Dental Care, we provide high quality CBCT and OPG scanning services to support accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning.
Using state-of-the-art technology, we deliver high-resolution 3D and panoramic scans that offer clear, detailed views - essential for a wide range of dental and surgical procedures.
At Edge Dental Care we believe financial considerations should not be an obstacle to obtaining some of our more expensive dental services, we therefore may be able to offer flexible payment terms.
