Expert Eyes Behind the Tech
Helen Turner Specialist Orthodontist

Technology is powerful—but it’s only as good as the people using it.
That’s why our orthodontic team, led by Specialist Orthodontist Helen Turner, combine years of clinical experience with the best tools available.
Every scan, simulation, and appliance is used with care, not just convenience—because we know it’s the small details that make all the difference. We’re proud to offer a thoughtful blend of personal attention and digital precision—because your smile deserves both.
See Your Smile Before You Start
We use advanced 3D scanning technology (including the iTero® digital scanner) to create a precise digital model of your teeth. In just minutes, we can show you a simulation of how your smile could look after treatment – before anything even begins.
Advanced digital technology benefits don’t stop at a scan of your current teeth. Our iTero digital scanner also projects onto the screen the expected final position of your teeth after treatment has finished.
It’s a calm, comfortable process with no need for trays or putty, and it gives us the accuracy we need to plan every step of your treatment with confidence.
