Dr Gavin Stuart

Gavin was born in Northern Ireland and moved to study at the University of Manchester where he received his Bachelor of Dental Surgery degree in 1999. He emigrated to Australia in 2001. Gavin worked with Dr. Ackland in Ballina, NSW for 6 years, forming a close working relationship, which Gavin is very pleased to continue at Banora Seaview Dental. Gavin is passionate about delivering high quality dental work in a relaxed and friendly environment. He is described by people he treats as a caring and gentle dentist. Gavin continuously updates his skills and knowledge with regular courses and dental professional education days. He completed an implant course in 2012 which covered all aspects of implant dentistry and is very excited about what can be done now to help people who have lost teeth. 'I really enjoy looking after families and particularly enjoy providing dental care in a fun way to children. My interests within dentistry are wide and varied, from implants and cosmetic dentistry to general family dentistry’. He is particularly interested in what we call parafunction, which is grinding or clenching of teeth whilst asleep. Gavin and Helena have moved to the area after living in the northern rivers for 10yrs and are expecting the arrival of a new addition to the family towards the end of the year. Gavin remains confident that the new family member will not prevent day dreams of a shed full of various different motorcycles and a sound proof room with guitars becoming a reality.
