I highly recommend Teneriffe Dental if you're seeking an amazing, professional and trustworthy dentist. I have been seeing Dr Hayden Stewart for over a decade and have always been incredibly happy with the service he provides, and the skill and care he takes with all of my dental work. He has a genuine interest in his patients, and always makes sure that I'm comfortable and informed every step of the way. His new space at Teneriffe is amazing - beautifully designed, and so calm and inviting. Both Bree and Francesca were so lovely also - Bree's friendly greeting on arrival put any pre-dental-visit nerves instantly at ease, and Francesca the dental hygienist gave me the most gentle and pain-free scale and clean I've ever had! So happy to be back in the care of Dr Stewart and his team at Teneriffe Dental.

Dr. Stewart is a wonderful person; just talking to him left a positive impression. His level of communication with patients is exceptional.
I had very pleasant feelings about the clinic itself; it turns out that the art on the walls is the work of Dr. Stewart.
I definitely recommend this place to everyone in and around Newstead and Tenerife—you won't regret.

Brilliant experience at Teneriffe Dental! Dr Quinn is exceptional and provides a premium service. He talked me through my treatment options and provided a terrific care plan with attention to detail and a focus on creating a comfortable and positive patient experience.
The staff are all so welcoming and kind (thanks also to Grace) and the reception and rooms are beautiful and luxurious - far from your ‘typical’ dentist.
It’s great to find a dentist who lives locally and is invested in the local community too.
I highly recommend!

FAQ's
We’re here to provide clear answers to any question you might have. Browse our frequently asked questions below or contact us directly for personalised information.
Gum contouring results typically last a lifetime as the reshaped gum tissue doesn’t grow back. This permanent smile enhancement removes excess gum tissue to reveal more of your natural teeth.
Gum contouring is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring you feel minimal discomfort during the procedure. Most patients report mild tenderness for 1-3 days afterward, easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
Our cosmetic dentist in Brisbane prioritises your comfort throughout treatment and will provide detailed aftercare instructions to minimise any post-procedure sensitivity.
Yes, gum contouring is a safe, established procedure when performed by an experienced dentist. The treatment uses precise laser or surgical techniques to reshape gum tissue with minimal risk. Complications are rare but may include temporary sensitivity or minor swelling.
Your dentist will thoroughly evaluate your oral health before recommending this smile enhancement procedure to ensure it’s appropriate for you.
Recovery from gum contouring typically takes 7-10 days. Most patients return to normal activities within 24-48 hours, with mild swelling and tenderness gradually subsiding throughout the first week.
Complete healing of gum tissue occurs within two weeks. Our dental team in Brisbane provides comprehensive aftercare guidance to ensure optimal healing and comfort during your smile transformation recovery.
You can eat soft foods immediately after gum contouring, though you should wait about 2 hours until the anesthesia wears off completely to avoid accidentally biting yourself. Stick to cool, soft foods for the first 24 hours. Avoid spicy, acidic, or crunchy foods for about a week.
Your cosmetic dentist in Brisbane will provide specific dietary guidelines to support proper healing of your newly contoured gumline.
