Dentist Near Clontarf

Looking for a Dentist Near Clontarf?

Sandgate Bayside Dental is a 10–14 minute drive from Clontarf, on the Sandgate side of the Ted Smout Memorial Bridge, and has treated North Brisbane and Redcliffe peninsula families since 1992. Patients from Clontarf, Woody Point, Margate and Redcliffe travel to us mainly for treatment that benefits from specific equipment and clinical experience in one location.

That includes IV sedation provided by principal dentist Dr Vikram Bansal BDS MDS, dental implants and All-on-X planned with in-house CBCT imaging, alongside everyday family dentistry.

Sandgate Bayside Dental, 74 Loudon Street, Sandgate QLD 4017 — opposite Sandgate Town Hall, with a dedicated on-site car park.

If You Feel Nervous About Dental Treatment

Dental anxiety is one of the most common reasons Clontarf patients cross the bridge to see us. Telling us when you book changes how we plan the appointment — longer appointment times, breaks during treatment, and explaining each step before it happens are often enough on their own.

Where more support is needed, we offer IV sedation and oral sedation, both provided on site. Both are pre-booked rather than arranged on the day, both require a medical assessment beforehand, and you will need someone to take you home afterwards — a taxi or rideshare back to Clontarf takes about 10 minutes if your escort is not driving. They are not suitable for everyone, which is what the assessment establishes.

Read more about both options and how to prepare.

Options for Missing or Damaged Teeth

A missing tooth changes how you chew and lets the neighbouring teeth drift, so the gap tends to cause further problems if it is left. The usual options are an implant, a bridge, or a denture, and which one suits depends on the bone underneath, the teeth either side, and what you want to spend.

Single dental implants are $4,200 all-inclusive — one price covering the titanium post, abutment and custom crown — planned with in-house 3D CBCT imaging. Patients told elsewhere that they lack the bone for implants are sometimes surprised after a 3D assessment — see our guide on implants and bone loss.

For multiple missing teeth, All-on-X treatment is planned and placed by Dr Vikram Bansal, and implant-supported dentures suit patients who want implant security with removable cleaning. Where a tooth is cracked rather than missing, a crown often saves it.

You receive a written plan with itemised costs before anything begins. Mention “Implant 74” when you call or book for a free initial implant consultation.

Cosmetic Treatment Options for Clontarf Patients

Cosmetic work is a planned decision rather than an urgent one, which makes the short trip from Clontarf less of a factor — most treatment involves only a handful of visits. We start with digital smile design, so you can see the intended result and the itemised cost in writing before committing to anything.

Options include porcelain veneers (from $5,900 for six teeth), professional whitening, tooth-coloured fillings, and clear aligners for crowding or spacing — see our aligner options.

Where a tooth needs strength as well as appearance, crowns and bridges restore both.

Check-Ups and Care for Clontarf Families

Families travelling from the peninsula can book adults and children into the same visit window, so one trip across the bridge covers everyone. Routine examinations, cleans and preventive care are handled alongside longer restorative appointments.

Eligible children are covered under the Child Dental Benefits Schedule, and we bulk bill all eligible services — the scheme covers up to $1,158 per child across two calendar years. Our team explains treatment in a clear, age-appropriate way, and a calm first visit sets children up well for the ones that follow.

More detail is on our general dental care and bulk-billed children’s dental pages.

Emergency Appointments for Clontarf Patients

We keep time available each day for urgent problems, so a Clontarf patient with a dental emergency can usually be seen the same day rather than waiting for a routine slot. Phone as early in the day as you can — 07 3269 2443 — and we will tell you what is available and what to do in the meantime.

Common reasons people call: a tooth aching overnight, facial swelling, a tooth broken on something hard, a crown or filling that has come out, or an injury after sport. Swelling and severe pain should not wait. See our emergency dental page for what to do before you arrive.
