Your Local Dentist Serving Bonny Hills
Bonny Hills is a quiet coastal village tucked between Lake Cathie and Laurieton on the Mid North Coast of NSW. With around 2,300 residents, it’s the kind of place where people know their neighbours and the beach is never more than a few minutes’ walk away. Rainbow Beach, the rock pools at the southern end, and the walking trails through Dooragan National Park keep locals and visitors coming back.
What Bonny Hills doesn’t have is a dental clinic. The nearest one is Sundial Dental Laurieton, roughly 10 minutes south along Ocean Drive. Our practice at the Medical Complex on Laurie Street has served the Mid North Coast for over 50 years, and a good number of our regular patients drive down from Bonny Hills for everything from six-monthly check-ups to emergency appointments.
General Dentistry Bonny Hills
Bonny Hills has a mix of retirees who’ve settled permanently and families with kids at the local primary school. Both groups benefit from consistent preventive care. Catching a small cavity early, keeping gum disease in check, or spotting wear on an old filling before it cracks can save significant time and expense down the track.
At your check-up and clean, our team will assess:
- Tooth decay and the condition of existing fillings
- Gum health, including early signs of gum disease
- Oral cancer screening
- Bite alignment and jaw joint function
- Digital X-rays where needed
For families, we bulk bill eligible children under the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS), which covers up to ,095 in dental care over two consecutive calendar years. We also provide fissure sealants, fluoride treatments, and early orthodontic assessments for younger patients.
Reconstructive Dentistry Bonny Hills
Teeth take a beating over decades. Old restorations wear out, missing teeth cause the remaining ones to shift, and cracks that start small can turn into bigger problems if left alone. For Bonny Hills residents dealing with damaged or missing teeth, our Laurieton clinic offers a full range of reconstructive options:
- CEREC same-day crowns — porcelain crowns designed, milled and fitted in one visit. No temporary crown, no return trip.
- Dental implants — a permanent replacement for missing teeth, anchored into the jawbone
- Bridges — fixed prosthetics that span the gap left by one or more missing teeth
- Full and partial dentures — removable options tailored to fit comfortably
- All-on-4 implant dentures — a full arch of teeth supported by four implants, suitable for patients with significant tooth loss
- Root canal therapy — saving an infected tooth rather than losing it
If you’ve been putting off dental work, a consultation is a straightforward way to find out where things stand and what your options are. No pressure, just information.
Cosmetic Dentistry Bonny Hills
Most cosmetic dental work is simpler than people expect. Stained or yellowed teeth, a chip on a front tooth, or old amalgam fillings that show when you smile are all common reasons Bonny Hills patients book in for cosmetic treatment.
Available treatments include:
- Professional teeth whitening (in-chair and take-home kits)
- Porcelain veneers
- Composite bonding and reshaping
- Smile makeover consultations
We’ll talk through what you’re hoping to achieve, what’s realistic, and what it will cost before anything starts.
Orthodontics Bonny Hills
Crooked or crowded teeth aren’t just a cosmetic concern. They can be harder to keep clean, which increases the risk of decay and gum problems over time. Invisalign clear aligners offer a way to straighten teeth without visible metal braces.
We treat adults of all ages with Invisalign at our Laurieton clinic. The aligners are removable for eating and brushing, close to invisible when worn, and typically require fewer appointments than traditional braces. An initial assessment will determine whether Invisalign is suitable for your particular case.
Emergency Dentist Bonny Hills
A broken tooth, a filling that falls out during dinner, sudden swelling or pain that won’t settle with paracetamol. Dental emergencies are stressful, and being 10 minutes from the nearest clinic helps. Sundial Dental Laurieton holds emergency appointment slots every working day for urgent cases.
