The three ‘E’s of dental treatment
At Northern Beaches Dental in Mackay, we provide a range of treatments for our patients. We want to make sure you have a one-stop practice where you can meet all of your dental hygiene needs. The dentist in Mackay is your guide to the services and benefits of modern dentistry.

We love to talk to our patients. Your dentist in Mackay is a skilled communicator as well as a qualified dental practitioner. Our team members are experienced in finding the right treatment for each individual.
Essential
Essential dental procedures are those that either care for and protect the teeth or those that repair damage. During your regular check-up, your dentist in Mackay will keep an eye on the condition of your teeth and gums. They may recommend essential procedures to either restore your mouth to optimum condition or to help prevent future issues. We provide care for children and adults at Northern Beaches Dental. The younger we start dental care, the more likely it is that your child will feel positive about their future oral health needs.
Elective
This is the exciting category of treatments. Elective treatments are, as the name suggests, ones that you choose to have because you know you will enjoy the benefits. This might be extensive work such as replacing missing teeth or straightening a crooked smile. It might also be something quicker like teeth whitening or veneers. Many elective procedures also have bonus clinical benefits so you may well enjoy a healthier smile as well as a better-looking one.
Emergency
If you are having a dental emergency, you will usually have pain, excess bleeding or risk of tooth loss. When you contact Northern Beaches Dental in Mackay for emergency treatment, our aim is to have you pain-free and relaxed as soon as possible.
Our team will talk you through anything you can do to alleviate pain while you wait for your appointment. Whenever possible, we will see you on the day that you call. Once you have had your emergency appointment, we ensure that we schedule the follow-ups you need to restore your teeth to a high standard again.
All treatment carries risks. Individual consultation is required with one of our practitioners to ensure that the treatment is right for you.
