About Our Dental Surgery

Van Der Walt Dental was established in 1989 by Nic and Liz van der Walt with a passion to provide quality dental health care to the community. With Nic van der Walt's commitment to excellence in clinical care, the practice has grown to employ an assistant dentist, a dental Hygienist/Therapist, and a team of dedicated, well trained support staff.

Together, our team of dental professionals can provide the best dental care that suits you.

Our Dentists provide all aspects of general dentistry. Our Hygienist/Therapist provides all preventive care and also looks after our younger patients (those under 18 years of age).

Children’s Dentistry

Taking care of your child's oral health

Our Therapist/Hygienist Mal Cottle takes care of all our patients under the age of 18 yrs. His delightful enthusiasm engages children, and motivates them to take an active interest in maintaining healthy teeth.

Your child's visit to our practice

Many of us do not recall our visits to the Dentist in our younger years favourably!

We have progressively moved forward to not only make your child look forward to visiting us, but also to make you smile!

Children cannot be treated like little adults (i.e. "Jump in the chair, open wide, let's get on with it.").

Improving Your Smile

Changes in the appearance of your teeth can be due to a number of factors, for example, staining from certain foods, drinks, smoking, or antibiotics taken as a child. You may also have developed chips or cracks in your teeth from trauma, sporting injuries or simply age and wear.

At Van Der Walt Dental we are able to offer an extensive range of procedures to restore your smile, these include:

Tooth coloured composite resin restorations
Veneers
Crowns and bridges
Inlays
Onlays
Bleaching
Implants

Hygiene

The essentials of oral hygiene

Mal Cottle heads our Hygiene department, and in that capacity, not only is he especially trained to clean, scale and maintain your oral hygiene, a significant part of his role is to educate and empower patients to achieve and maintain better oral health.

Here at Van Der Walt Dental we are committed to educating patients to allow them to make informed choices about the oral health care of their families. We are fortunate to be able to provide this in a number of ways:

At Van Der Walt Dental we provide motivational and informative talks to various community groups in Bundaberg and district.
