We enjoy being a trusted family dentist for patients in our neighbourhood and surrounding communities. As a family-friendly dental practice, we are equipped to treat all your loved ones—from your oldest family member to your youngest child.

Why Choose a Family Dentist? 

As a dental practice that caters to families, we can provide all the dental services your family needs under one roof. That makes dental care more convenient for most families. Many parents also enjoy receiving their dental care from the same dental team who cares for their children and vice versa. You can provide your child with a great role model for oral health when you begin bringing them along for dental visits at a young age, and we encourage you to do so.

Dental implants offer many patients an excellent tooth replacement solution. And one of their significant benefits is that they don’t really require any special care after placement beyond how you would take care of your natural teeth.

Caring for Your Dental Implants in Helensvale 

Once we have placed a dental implant, patients can brush and floss their teeth as they normally would, following their regular oral hygiene routine. Your oral hygiene routine should include brushing your teeth at least twice per day along with daily flossing. You should also book routine cleans and check-ups with Bayview Dental Centre so we can remove any plaque or tartar from your teeth and gum line, checking for signs of gingivitis or gum disease, in addition to other oral health problems.

With appropriate care and attention, your dental implant may last you a lifetime, which is one reason why we love placing dental implants for patients. They can also help many patients achieve better oral health and a complete smile that makes chewing more manageable and allows them to speak more clearly. 

Your Tooth Replacement in Runaway Bay

We invite you to call Bayview Dental Centre for your tooth replacement options when you’re ready to create a complete, healthier smile. 

Our skilled dentists, including Dr Joy Lee, are here to help you with your dental needs, including the placement of dental implants. And we can assist you in maintaining your oral health long after your dental implant is in place.

We understand that patients sometimes have doubts about whether or not their situation is a dental emergency. But we’re here to help when those situations arise. If you think you or your family member is experiencing a dental emergency, we invite you to call our practice so we can give you the best advice possible over the phone. 

If we recommend an emergency dental appointment for your situation, we will do our best to book an emergency dental appointment for you within 24 hours. 

Common Dental Emergencies in Helensvale

Our compassionate team treats dental emergencies in our Helensvale and Runaway Bay dental practices all the time, working quickly and efficiently to make patients comfortable. 

Some common dental emergencies we treat include:

• Fractured teeth
• Severe and persistent toothaches
• Facial swelling
• Knocked-out teeth
• Infected teeth
• Dental injuries
• Loose or lost crowns and fillings

Again, if you suspect a dental emergency, even if your situation is not listed above, it’s a good idea to seek advice from a dental professional. 

Treating a Dental Emergency in Runaway Bay

When a patient arrives in our practice with a dental emergency, we will focus first on relieving any pain the patient is experiencing. We will also quickly make sure the affected tooth is stabilised if that’s necessary. The next step is the treatment, which will ultimately depend upon the specific emergency and patient.

We invite your call to Bayview Dental Centre to book your emergency dental care. We also welcome questions and look forward to helping you. 

We want everyone who visits our practice to enjoy a fantastic, healthy smile, which is why we offer a comprehensive exam, scale & polish and fluoride treatment for only $190. If you require further services or treatments, we invite you to call us for additional pricing.

Why Are Regular Check-Ups and Cleans Important?

Your routine check-ups and cleans are vital to your oral health. We can remove plaque and tartar from your teeth and gum line with periodic cleans, helping you keep your teeth and gums healthy and strong. 

When patients don’t adhere to a good oral hygiene routine and skip out on routine visits to the dentist, it can lead to cavities, gum disease, and other oral health problems, which we want to avoid. 

The cost of a check-up and clean every six months may actually save you money in the long run by preventing the need for more complex dental care, like root canal therapy or gum disease.

Dental Cleans in Runaway Bay or Helensvale

We provide thorough, but gentle dental cleans to patients in Helensvale and Runaway Bay. We welcome your phone call to our friendly team when you are ready to book a dental clean. 

At Bayview Dental Centre, we love helping our patients maintain the best oral health while creating amazing smiles, and dental cleans are essential to both of those goals.
