Mr Gareth Small

Helens Bay Dental was purchased by Gareth Small in October 1994. Gareth introduced dental implants to Helens Bay Dental in 2000. The transformation to digital started in 2005 with our first scanner purchase. The first full arch implant restorations were done in 2002 and have continued since. Digital workflows have been developed as new technologies were added such as intra oral scanners digital X-ray and facial bone CT scanner and most recently facial scans. This has enhanced the ease of treatment and quality of the new teeth and their fit into our patients faces. We will continue to work to improve patients new smiles and functionality as techniques progress. The future is very exciting.
