Our services

Complete dental services in Christchurch and Rangiora

From a routine six-month check-up through to full smile restoration, Sweet Tooth Dental covers the whole range of general, cosmetic and surgical dentistry under one roof at our St Albans and Rangiora clinics.

General and preventive dentistry

Most of what keeps a smile healthy is unglamorous and routine. Regular examinations, professional cleans and early fillings cost a fraction of what it takes to rebuild a tooth later, and they are far more comfortable.

We use digital imaging so you can see what we see, and we talk you through the findings before any treatment is agreed. Nothing goes ahead until you understand the options and the cost.

  • Dental examinations, X-rays and oral cancer screening
  • Scale, polish and professional hygiene therapy
  • Tooth-coloured fillings and restorations
  • Mouthguards for sport and night-time grinding

Restorative and surgical treatment

When a tooth is badly decayed, cracked or already missing, the goal is to restore normal function and appearance for the long term. That might mean saving the natural tooth with root canal treatment and a crown, or replacing it with an implant or bridge.

Dr Suman Kavooru has advanced training in implants, oral surgery and sedation, which means most cases can be handled in-house rather than referred elsewhere.

  • Root canal treatment (endodontics)
  • Crowns, bridges and full-mouth rehabilitation
  • Dental implants and All-on-X full arch restoration
  • Wisdom teeth removal and surgical extractions
  • Partial and full dentures

Cosmetic dentistry

Cosmetic work at Sweet Tooth Dental is conservative by default. We start with the least invasive option that achieves the result you want, and we will tell you honestly when a treatment is not worth doing.

  • Porcelain and composite veneers
  • Professional teeth whitening
  • Clear aligner teeth straightening
  • Dental botox for clenching and facial aesthetics

Common questions

Do I need a referral to book?+
No. You can book directly with us for any treatment, including implants, wisdom teeth and sedation. If you have been referred by another dentist, bring any X-rays or notes with you.
How often should I come in?+
Most adults do well with an examination and clean every six months. If you have gum disease, a high decay rate or a dry mouth, we may suggest three or four monthly visits until things are stable.
Can I be treated if I am very anxious?+
Yes. We offer everything from simple local anaesthetic and a slower pace through to oral sedation and IV sedation. Tell us when you book and we will plan the visit around your anxiety.
