Expert Paediatric and Orthodontic Dental Care
From first tooth to finished smile, Starlight Dental provides complete care for your growing child. We combine a gentle paediatric approach with expert orthodontics, building a foundation for lifelong health and beautiful smiles.
First Visit
Where Little Smiles Begin
Your child’s first dental visit sets the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles. We make it calm, fun, and full of encouragement - helping children feel comfortable, confident, and excited to return.
Preventive Care
Healthy habits start early. Our preventive care helps children build strong, confident smiles through gentle guidance and education.
-
Establishing dental care early helps prevent problems later. We offer calm, reassuring visits for babies and toddlers - often before their first birthday - to support healthy development and positive early experiences.
-
Our gentle cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup while teaching kids great hygiene habits - preventing cavities before they start.
-
Fluoride strengthens developing enamel and helps prevent cavities. Treatments are quick, gentle, and personalised to your child’s needs.
-
Sealants are thin, protective coatings that cover the grooves of the teeth - providing a non-invasive way to prevent cavities.
Restorative Care
When dental issues arise, we restore smiles with care and compassion. Our gentle, effective treatments are designed to help your child feel safe and comfortable every step of the way.
-
We use natural-looking fillings to repair cavities with minimal discomfort - restoring your child’s tooth and smile with ease.
-
When a tooth needs extra protection, we offer durable crowns for growing smiles - helping preserve the tooth and prevent future damage.
-
Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) is a gentle, antimicrobial treatment that can slow or stop early tooth decay - often without drilling or discomfort. It’s non-invasive and especially helpful for very young or anxious patients.
Ongoing & Special Care
Every child is different - and so is their dental journey. Whether your child needs a little extra reassurance, has unique health needs, or is still growing into their smile, we’re here to care for them every step of the way.
-
Gently releasing a lip or tongue tie can improve feeding, speech, and overall oral development. With precise techniques, your child can eat, speak, and grow with ease.
-
For children who are anxious, have special medical needs, or require complex treatment, we offer safe sedation options - helping them stay calm, relaxed, and comfortable throughout their treatment.
-
Baby teeth hold space for adult ones. A space maintainer helps keep things on track by providing guidance for the adult tooth to erupt into position - supporting alignment and preventing crowding as permanent teeth come in.
At times, there is inadequate space for the adult teeth to come in. This is when expanders are recommended.
-
We recognise that every child’s smile is unique. That’s why our long-term approach focuses on early intervention, using jaw-development appliances to prevent future complications and reduce the need for surgery. As your child grows, we gently guide their developing smile to its full potential with braces or aligners.
-
We welcome every child with patience and empathy. Each visit is personalised to make sure kids feel loved, safe, and understood.
