DENTAL TECHNOLOGY

Experience the Latest Technology for Your Perfect Smile

At Gentle Touch, we believe that advanced technology should enhance your dental experience and make your visits as comfortable and pain-free as possible. We’re committed to using the latest innovations to address even the most complex dental issues, all while prioritising your comfort and well-being.

Here’s how our state-of-the-art studio benefits you:

Gentle Injections:  The QuickSleeper5 is our Magic Injection Wand - a revolutionary tool that  transforms the way we deliver anesthesia! This cutting-edge technology significantly reduces discomfort, works instantly, and is far more efficient than traditional methods, numbing up to six teeth with a single injection. Our Magic Injections truly change the game when it comes to patient comfort and treatment speed.    

Onsite CT Scanner: Enjoy the convenience of having detailed imaging done right here, ensuring accurate diagnostics for your treatment.

Non-Invasive 3D Scanner: Say goodbye to traditional impressions! Our 3D scanner eliminates discomfort, making it ideal for patients with sensitive gag reflexes.

3D Printer: We can create custom models and appliances quickly and precisely, speeding up your treatment process.

Relaxing Environment: Our bright, modern atmosphere is designed to help you feel at ease—making your visit feel less like a dental appointment and more like a welcoming experience.

Entertainment Options: With TV in surgery, you can enjoy your favourite shows or movies to help distract and relax you during treatment.

At Gentle Touch, we strive to provide you with a high-end dental experience without the anxiety. Your comfort and satisfaction are our top priorities, and we’re excited to help you achieve a stunning smile!
