I want to get rid of my headaches and neck pain-
Headaches are often caused by grinding or ‘bruxing’ your teeth. Excessive clenching of the jaws is not a healthy action. In some adults and children, clenching may occur during the day or at night. During sleep, you have no conscious control over this excessive clenching or grinding. Over time, this action can wear your teeth down, requiring extensive dental repair later on. At Green Square Dental, we offer a variety of treatments that will cure your headaches and pain, best suit your condition for the long term.

I want to get rid of my bad breath/I want fresher breath-
Do you feel like your breath is omitting an unpleasant odour? Do you want clean, fresh breath without the self-consciousness of offending your friends and family? Here at Green Square Dental, we offer a fresher breath program to get you fresh breath with no more embarrassment. It’s a quick and easy thing to fix, and once you have permanent fresh breath, you will wonder why you hesitated to mention it to your dental practitioner before.

I want tooth coloured fillings-
Tooth coloured fillings are cosmetically pleasing and are a healthier and stronger alternative to the traditional metallic restorations. At Green Square Dental, we only use the latest materials, Composite and porcelain fillings which are bonded to the teeth.

I want to have a pain free experience-
Here at Green Square Dental, we will make your experience as comforting and soothing as possible.

I want to see a dentist for my emergency NOW-
We hope you never experience a dental emergency. However, be assured that should you require urgent dental treatment, we have emergency time set aside in our schedule to accommodate.

I want to protect my teeth from sports-
Sporting accidents are one of the most common causes of dental injury. Damaged or knocked out teeth, broken jaws and cut lips can be sustained when playing sport. Here at Green Square Dental, we fabricate custom made mouthguards to protect your teeth during contact sports. Mouthguards help to absorb and spread the impact of a blow to your face, which might otherwise result in an injury to your mouth or jaw. ‘Rather protect than repair’.
