Choosing a dentist is about much more than cleaning your teeth twice a year. It is about knowing that everyone in the family can walk into the same clinic and receive gentle, expert care at every stage of life. At Bundall Dental and Implants, we have spent more than 25 years providing Gold Coast residents with exactly that level of confidence. Below is an overview of the dental services we offer, why each service matters, and how you can decide which option is right for you.
1. General and Preventive Dentistry
Regular check-ups are the cornerstone of a healthy smile. During a standard visit we perform a comprehensive oral examination, professional scale and clean, and digital X-rays when required. These appointments allow us to detect early signs of tooth decay, gum disease, or oral cancer before they turn into bigger (and costlier) problems.
Key services:
- Routine examinations and professional cleaning
- Fluoride treatments and fissure sealants for cavity prevention
- Digital radiographs and intra-oral photographs for precise diagnosis
- Custom mouthguards and night guards to protect teeth during sport or sleep
Our article on understanding oral care explains how routine visits can save your teeth and why regular dental check-ups matter.
2. Children’s Dentistry
Healthy habits start young. The Australian Dental Association recommends a child’s first dental visit by their first birthday. We create a fun, welcoming environment to help kids associate dental care with positive experiences rather than fear.
Paediatric highlights:
- Gentle exams from first tooth through adolescence
- Age-appropriate brushing and flossing instruction
- Fissure sealants and topical fluoride for extra protection
- Early orthodontic assessments to spot alignment issues
- Management of common concerns such as teething pain or thumb-sucking
If you are preparing for that inaugural visit, our guide on your child’s first dental visit walks parents through every step. Learn more about building healthy habits in children and preventive dental care for kids.
3. Cosmetic Dentistry
A confident smile can open doors both socially and professionally. Our cosmetic services focus on improving colour, shape, and alignment whilst safeguarding tooth structure.
Common cosmetic options:
- Professional teeth whitening for brightening discolouration
- Dental bonding to repair small chips or minor gaps
- Porcelain veneers for comprehensive smile transformations
- Clear aligners for discreet straightening
- Tooth-coloured fillings that blend seamlessly with natural enamel
Learn about addressing teeth discolouration and the difference between teeth whitening and scaling & polishing.
4. Restorative Dentistry
When decay, injury, or wear compromises a tooth, timely restoration prevents further damage and restores full function.
We provide:
- Composite and porcelain inlays/onlays for medium-sized cavities
- Full-coverage crowns to reinforce extensively weakened teeth
- Root canal therapy to save infected teeth
- Custom bridgework to replace one or several missing teeth
- Same-day CEREC options for select cases, reducing the number of visits

5. Dental Implants and Tooth Replacement Solutions
Missing teeth affect speech, chewing efficiency, jawbone health, and self-esteem. Dental implants are a highly effective solution because they integrate with bone and function like natural roots. Whether you need a single implant, an implant-supported bridge, or a full-arch “All-on-X” restoration, we can tailor a solution.
We also offer conventional full and partial dentures as well as implant-supported dentures when appropriate. For an in-depth comparison of your choices, see our post on the importance of replacing lost teeth.
Learn about understanding dental implants in our comprehensive guide.
6. Emergency Dental Care
Toothaches, broken teeth, and dental trauma rarely occur at convenient times. We reserve daily emergency slots so you can be assessed and treated quickly often on the same day. If you experience persistent pain, swelling, or a knocked-out tooth, phone us immediately. Rapid attention greatly improves outcomes.

7. Senior Dental Care
Oral health challenges can intensify as we age: medications may cause dry mouth, manual dexterity can wane, and bone density changes make tooth loss more likely. Bundall Dental provides:
- Regular screenings for gum disease and oral cancer
- Treatment plans for managing xerostomia (dry mouth)
- Implant-retained overdentures to improve denture stability
- Tips for easier at-home care, including specially designed brushes
Find additional advice in our guide to dental care for seniors.
8. Periodontal (Gum) Therapy
Healthy gums are the foundation of every treatment we provide. We perform thorough periodontal charting and offer deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) or laser therapy if needed. Treating gum disease early not only saves teeth but also supports systemic health, with growing evidence linking periodontal inflammation to heart disease and diabetes.
Explore the mouth-body connection in why gum health is essential and oral health for overall health.
9. Technology and Patient Comfort
We invest in proven modern technology to make your visit faster, safer and more comfortable. The clinic is wheelchair-accessible and designed with family-friendly amenities. Calming music, ceiling-mounted TVs, and noise-reducing handpieces help nervous patients relax. Where appropriate, we can provide oral conscious sedation after a thorough medical assessment. Learn about overcoming dental anxiety.
10. Personalised Treatment Planning
Every mouth is unique, so cookie-cutter dentistry does not cut it. We combine your oral health goals, X-ray findings, and medical history to create a roadmap that prioritises both immediate needs and long-term stability. Transparent cost estimates and phased scheduling help patients make informed decisions.
Our experienced team provide tailored care with over 25 years of expertise serving the Gold Coast community.

FAQs
How often should I visit the dentist on the Gold Coast?
Most adults benefit from a check-up and professional clean every six months. Patients with active gum disease or complex restorative work may need more frequent reviews. Read our guide on why you need regular dental check-ups.
Are dental X-rays safe?
Yes. Digital sensors cut radiation by approximately 80 per cent compared with traditional film. A single bitewing X-ray exposes you to less radiation than a short domestic flight. Our modern technology prioritises patient safety whilst providing precise diagnostic information.
What is the best age for orthodontic evaluation?
The Australian Society of Orthodontists recommends an assessment by age seven. Early review lets us guide jaw growth and correct habits before they become harder to treat. Learn about children’s dental health and preventive care for kids.
Do you offer payment plans at Bundall Dental?
Yes. We work with several flexible finance providers and can stage treatment to fit your budget. Just ask our reception team for details when you contact us. Transparent cost estimates help you make informed decisions about your dental care.
What should I do in a dental emergency on the Gold Coast?
Contact Bundall Dental immediately if you experience persistent pain, swelling, or tooth trauma. We reserve daily emergency slots for same-day treatment. Read why do my teeth hurt? for guidance on managing pain before your appointment.
