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.

From the surroundings to the staff, Helens Bay Dental Practice provides a superb experience from start to finish. Extremely friendly, professional, and a pleasant environment to be in. They have invested heavily in the latest and most up-to-date equipment, which makes for more relaxing and less stressful dentist visits. I’m delighted with the service I have received over the past year, from implant surgery to fillings. If you are nervous about the dentist, this place will really make you feel at ease. I’ve never felt any pain during any of my treatments. When my next appointment comes around, I don't feel anxious or nervous like I have in the past with other dentists. I'd recommend their services to anyone without hesitation.

I went ahead with the veneers I have been planning, and can only say the usual attention to detail and client care was more than present, and I am OVERJOYED with my new smile!!! This has totally uplifted my confidence; I’m no longer self-conscious and covering my mouth to laugh or smile, I’m proud of my big grin and amazing new teeth, and the compliments from friends and family who are stunned by the difference and how natural my smile looks. I cannot give enough thanks to Sarah and the team for all their work!!
