Dental Services We Offer in the Northern Rivers

Dental Implants in the Northern Rivers

We offer ceramic dental implants at our Northern Rivers clinic for patients seeking a fixed solution for missing teeth. Implants are placed following a detailed consultation and diagnostic imaging, with careful planning to assess bone support and oral health.

Our team uses biocompatible, metal-free materials, including Straumann systems, for those prioritising material safety and holistic care principles. Dental implants may be used to replace one or multiple teeth, depending on clinical suitability.

Every case is approached individually, with follow-up appointments arranged to monitor healing and placement.

Teeth Whitening in the Northern Rivers

Our Northern Rivers clinic provides professional teeth whitening using fluoride-free and biocompatible products. Whitening is available as an in-chair or take-home treatment, depending on the patient's needs and clinical suitability. Before beginning, we assess enamel condition, existing restorations, and sensitivity risks to ensure a tailored approach.

Whitening may be recommended to reduce surface staining or improve the shade of natural teeth, using minimally invasive application methods. Not all types of discolouration respond to whitening, and alternatives may be discussed during your appointment. All whitening procedures are carried out under the supervision of AHPRA-registered dental practitioners.

Dental Veneers in the Northern Rivers

Dental veneers are available at our Northern Rivers clinic for patients seeking a conservative option to address tooth shape, colour, or alignment. Veneers are thin shells, typically made of porcelain or composite, and are bonded to the front surface of the tooth. Treatment is recommended following a full assessment of enamel health, bite function, and aesthetic goals. Veneers are customised to match the surrounding teeth and may be used to address chips, spacing, or mild irregularities. Our team will discuss the material options and outline what to expect during the placement process at your consultation.

Dental Examinations in the Northern Rivers

We provide comprehensive dental check-ups at our Northern Rivers clinic to help monitor oral health and identify early signs of disease or deterioration. Examinations may include clinical assessment, gum evaluation, diagnostic imaging, and oral hygiene review. Each appointment is tailored to the individual’s needs and may include discussion of diet, risk factors, and bite alignment.

Check-ups are suitable for both children and adults, and patients with existing dental work are reviewed for ongoing maintenance. These appointments are also an opportunity to discuss concerns or treatment options with our team in a calm, patient-centred setting.

Teeth Cleaning in the Northern Rivers

Professional dental cleans are performed at our Northern Rivers clinic to remove plaque, tartar, and surface staining from teeth and gumlines. Cleaning is usually combined with routine examinations to support early detection and prevention. We use fluoride-free, BPA-free products where clinically appropriate, in line with our bio-holistic approach.

For patients with sensitivity or gum inflammation, cleaning is adjusted to minimise discomfort and protect soft tissue. Regular cleaning helps support long-term oral health when paired with good daily habits at home. Our team will also offer guidance on flossing, brushing technique, and product choices at your appointment.

Fissure Sealants in the Northern Rivers

Our clinic offers fissure sealants for patients in the Northern Rivers—especially children and teenagers whose adult molars have recently erupted. Fissure sealants are applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth to help protect the deep grooves from decay.

This is a non-invasive procedure that does not require anaesthetic or drilling, making it suitable for early preventative care. The material used is selected for biocompatibility and is applied quickly during a routine appointment. Sealants are monitored during future check-ups and may be reapplied if worn. Our team will explain whether fissure sealants are appropriate during your visit.

Extractions in the Northern Rivers

Tooth extractions are available at our Northern Rivers clinic when a tooth cannot be restored due to trauma, decay, or structural damage. Surgical extractions, including wisdom teeth removal, are performed following a diagnostic assessment and consultation. The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic, and patients are provided with personalised aftercare instructions to support healing.

In some cases, extraction may be followed by options for tooth replacement, such as implants or bridges, once healing is complete. All extractions at our clinic are carefully planned with attention to comfort, recovery, and longer-term treatment planning if needed.

Surgical Implants in the Northern Rivers

Our Byron Bay clinic provides surgical implant placement for patients in the Northern Rivers as part of a structured tooth replacement plan. This process involves placing a ceramic post into the jawbone, followed by a healing phase before the final restoration is added.

Digital imaging and clinical reviews are used to determine eligibility and guide the procedure. Surgical implants may be suitable for patients missing one or more teeth, provided there is sufficient bone volume to support integration. Post-operative care and monitoring are included, and our team will discuss the full process with you during the consultation.

Bone Grafts in the Northern Rivers

Bone grafting is available at our Northern Rivers clinic to support patients who need additional bone volume before receiving an implant or after an extraction. Grafts may involve synthetic or natural materials, depending on clinical need and patient preference.

Healing typically takes several months, during which the body integrates the new material with the existing bone. This procedure is carefully planned using diagnostic imaging and clinical review. Our dental team provides follow-up support to monitor progress and assess readiness for the next phase of treatment. Bone grafting is considered on a case-by-case basis.

Fillings in the Northern Rivers

Our clinic offers mercury-free dental fillings for patients across the Northern Rivers. Fillings are used to restore areas affected by decay or wear and are colour-matched to blend with natural teeth. We use BPA-free, biocompatible materials where suitable, aligning with holistic care principles.

The procedure typically involves cleaning the area and applying the filling in layers, then shaping and polishing it to match your bite. Fillings may also be used to replace older restorations that have deteriorated. Each case is reviewed to determine whether a filling is the most appropriate option.

Root Canal in the Northern Rivers

Root canal treatment is offered at our Northern Rivers clinic to retain natural teeth that have been affected by infection or deep decay. The procedure involves removing the pulp tissue inside the tooth, cleaning and sealing the canal, and restoring the structure with a filling or crown.

Treatment is completed over one or more appointments and is performed under local anaesthetic. Diagnostic imaging helps assess the condition of the tooth and plan the procedure. Our team provides post-treatment guidance and monitors the tooth’s condition during follow-up appointments.

Crowns in the Northern Rivers

Dental crowns are available at our clinic for patients in the Northern Rivers needing structural support for a damaged or weakened tooth. Crowns are custom-made to cover the entire surface of the tooth, restoring shape and function. They are often recommended after large fillings, fractures, or root canal treatment.

We offer metal-free options, including ceramic and zirconia, depending on the clinical and aesthetic requirements. Crowns are typically placed over two appointments and are designed to integrate with your bite. Our team will assess whether a crown is the best solution for your case.

Bridges in the Northern Rivers

Dental bridges are offered at our Northern Rivers clinic to replace missing teeth using adjacent natural teeth or implants for support. A bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth anchored to crowns placed on neighbouring teeth. This fixed option can help restore chewing ability and maintain alignment.

Material options are discussed during planning and may include ceramic or porcelain-fused alternatives. Bridges are fabricated based on your individual needs, following scans or impressions. Our Byron Bay team will provide information on cleaning and maintaining your bridge during your appointment.
