Dental Implants and Full-Arch Treatment
Dr Bansal places dental implants at Sandgate Bayside Dental and manages each case from diagnosis and 3D planning through to surgical placement and the final restoration.
He also treats full-arch cases using All-on-X, where four to six implants support a fixed set of replacement teeth for patients missing most or all of one arch.
Keeping the full sequence in one clinic means the surgical plan and the final restoration are designed together rather than handed between providers.
Treating Anxious Patients
A substantial part of Dr Bansal’s practice is treating people who have put off dental care, in some cases for many years. His approach is to explain what is happening before it happens and to work at a pace the patient sets.
The practice offers IV sedation and oral sedation for patients who need it. Both options are pre-booked, require a medical assessment beforehand, and require an escort to take you home afterwards.
Dr Bansal works alongside a dedicated sedationist for IV sedation appointments.
Cosmetic Dentistry and Smile Makeovers
Dr Bansal provides cosmetic treatment aimed at balancing appearance with function. Each case begins with a consultation to discuss what is achievable for the patient’s teeth, bite and facial proportions, and what the treatment involves.
- Porcelain and composite veneers
- Smile design and full smile makeovers
- Cosmetic crowns and bridges
- Teeth whitening
- Implant-supported restorations
Digital Dentistry and Technology
Dr Bansal uses the on-site technology at Sandgate Bayside Dental for diagnosis and treatment planning:
- CBCT 3D imaging — assessing bone volume and nerve position before implant surgery, without referring patients elsewhere for a scan.
- Digital scanning — reducing the need for conventional impression material.
- Digitally guided planning — for restorative and implant cases.
