General Dentistry

From its humble beginning back in 1922, Gawler Dental Clinic has continued to grow in both size and stature through the generations. Today’s modern dental facility boasts state-of-the-art technology along with eight dentists, three hygienists and a dedicated support team to ensure you and your family receive the best in dental care.  

At Gawler Dental Clinic, we see our patients as part of our extended family, so you can be confident that we’ll treat you just as we would want our own families to be treated. We look forward to welcoming you and providing the dental care you need for many years to come. 

Preventive Care 

A good dental programme is built on a foundation of preventive care that includes brushing and flossing at home and visiting the dentist every six months for check-ups and cleans. Routine visits to the dentist also mean that we can detect dental issues earlier rather than later.  

Identifying problems in their earliest stages usually means dental care that is less invasive—and less expensive. We will screen you for issues such as tooth decay, gum disease and oral cancer. During your preventive clean, your hygienist will remove the extra plaque that inevitably builds up on teeth even if you practise good home care.  

General Dentistry 

Although we’ll do our best to help you avoid needing treatment, sometimes dental care is essential to protect your oral health. In addition to preventive care, we offer a wide selection of general family dental services that include tooth-coloured fillings, root canal therapy and dental restorations including crowns, bridges and dentures. 

Cosmetic Treatments 

Maybe you enjoy good oral health, but you don’t care for the way your smile looks. With today’s cosmetic dentistry, there is no reason to go through life with a smile you don’t love. Professional teeth whitening can brighten your smile, and dental veneers can cover up flaws in your smile in just a couple of dental appointments. We can also provide full smile makeovers when more than one treatment is needed. 

Our dentists would love the opportunity to talk to you about the improvements you’d like to see with your smile.  

Restorative Dentistry 

Are you avoiding showing your smile because of chipped, damaged or missing teeth? Whatever you might be dealing with, our dental team can provide a full range of restorative dental treatments. We offer: 

  • Tooth crowns for damaged or weakened teeth 
  • Dentures or dental implants for one or more missing teeth 
  • Tooth-coloured fillings to restore decayed teeth 
  • Root canal treatments 

Emergency Dental Services 

Tooth pain, knocked-out teeth and lost or broken restorations are just some of the tooth emergencies in Gawler that we can treat. We always leave some time open in our schedule to see emergency cases. The earlier in the day that you can call us, the better the chances of us getting you in for immediate relief. 

We Invite You to Contact Gawler Dental Clinic 

Whether you are looking for a new dental home or are simply overdue for your check-up and clean, we look forward to welcoming you to our dental clinic. We are your friends and neighbours, and our goal is to make dentistry as pleasant as possible. We serve patients here in Gawler and the surrounding communities of the Barossa Valley, Elizabeth, Clare, the Mid North and Yorke Peninsula.
