Services
Check-up and Clean
Regular examinations and professional cleaning form the foundation of preventive dental care. Our thorough check-ups identify potential issues early, while scaling and polishing remove plaque buildup. Patients receive personalised oral hygiene instruction to maintain optimal home care between visits.
Root Canal Treatment
Using advanced rotary technology, we remove infected pulp tissue to save damaged teeth. This procedure prevents extraction while eliminating pain and infection. Our precision techniques ensure long-term success rates comparable to specialist endodontic practices.
Clear Aligners
Smile Academy clear aligners straighten teeth discreetly without traditional braces. Custom 3D-printed trays gradually reposition teeth over 4-12 months. Treatment includes digital planning and regular progress monitoring for predictable results.
Children's Dentistry
Early intervention programs establish lifelong oral health habits. Services include preventive treatments, trauma management, and Medicare Child Dental Benefits Schedule eligibility assessments. Our approach creates positive dental experiences for young patients.
Crown and Bridge
Custom crowns and bridges restore damaged teeth using premium materials. Australian-made restorations combine durability with natural aesthetics. We ensure precise fit through close collaboration with specialist dental laboratories.

Do you offer emergency dental appointments?
While we don't provide 24/7 emergency services, we prioritise urgent cases during regular business hours for pain management and trauma care.

We accept HICAPS for instant private health insurance claims. Patients eligible under the Department of Veteran Affairs receive treatment with no out-of-pocket costs.
How often should I visit the dentist?
We recommend check-ups every 6-12 months depending on individual risk factors. Regular visits allow early detection of issues and professional cleaning to maintain gum health.
Are dental X-rays safe?
We use digital radiography which reduces radiation exposure by up to 90% compared to traditional film. X-rays are only taken when necessary for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

After a horrible teenage experience at the dentist, over the next many years until I finally retired on the Gold Coast I totally avoided trips to the dentist. I was prompted by a close friend to visit Dr Troy Evans at his Paradise Point Dentistry. My experience with Dr Evans convinced me that not all dentists are tarred by the same brush as he is genuinely concerned not only about my dental health but through his education I have learnt how my entire physical wellbeing is related to my dental care. It took my 56 years to take that initial step to visit Troy and I have never looked back following
