The SmileLux Team would like to wish all our clients much joy and good health over the festive period.
The professionalism and care I received throughout my invisalign treatment has been second to none and I cannot thank the team enough for everything, especially the end result. I am so happy with my new improved smile!
Having a nice smile after treatment has changed my life. I chose SmileLux after the reviews I had seen online, and I'd give an even better one now I'm a patient!
Straighten your teeth without the need for metal brackets and wires. Invisalign® clear aligners are a custom, discreet, removable and convenient option to fit orthodontic treatment into your lifestyle.
Dr Sunil Hirani and the entire SmileLux team are dedicated to providing our patients with the highest quality dental care in a soothing, relaxed environment. We are particularly proud of our friendly and welcoming team - which is committed to excellence and exceptional customer care.
We believe orthodontic treatment should be affordable for everyone. We offer competitive rates and flexible payment plans to suit your budget. Fees are individual for every patient and treatment, so we’ll discuss your custom quotation at your consultation.
We offer a variety of orthodontic and dental solutions for your most beautiful and healthy smile yet. We provide tooth whitening, Invisalign® clear aligners, lingual braces, traditional fixed braces and more.
We recommend your child come for their first orthodontic consultation around the age of 7 years old. This way, we can assess their bite, guide the growth of their jaw and minimise the need for comprehensive treatments during their teenage years.
Skip the trip to our practice - track your Invisalign® treatment progress remotely with the Dental Monitoring smartphone app. Just snap weekly selfies to get progress updates on your treatment, and ask us questions through the app any time you want!

You don’t need a referral to go to a dentist or an orthodontist, but sometimes your dentist may give you a referral if they think you need specialist orthodontic care. Likewise, a Specialist Orthodontist may refer you to a dentist if you need general dental work such as a filling or tooth extraction.
