Esteem Dental Care Ashmore

Welcome to Esteem Dental Care — a holistic dental clinic on the Gold Coast. Our unique protocol is grounded in preventive care and includes comprehensive oral microbiome assessment, recognising its vital connection to whole-person health. Our experienced dentists offer a full range of dental services with a strong commitment to clinical excellence and individualised care.

We combine modern dental procedures with a deeper understanding of how oral health —particularly the oral microbiome — plays a key role in whole-body health. Imbalances in the oral microbiome have been linked to concerns such as gum disease, gut health disruption, cardiovascular inflammation, and more. That’s why we incorporate the Larkin Protocol, a structured and evidence-informed approach to assessing and supporting the oral microbiome as part of our preventive care.

Our practice is QIP Accredited, and we’re committed to providing respectful, personalised care that aligns with current standards and supports your overall wellbeing.

The True Preventative Approach

At Esteem Dental Care, we aim to support patients with a proactive and preventive approach to oral health. This includes offering biofilm analysis and oral microbiome

screening, which may assist in identifying early signs of gum concerns, inflammation, or

oral imbalances.

These tools can support the development of personalised care plans, both in our clinic and for at-home routines, with the intention of promoting better oral health outcomes over time.

Any recommended interventions or products are based on clinical judgement and individual

assessment.

Our Services Include:

? Holistic and Preventive Dentistry

An integrative approach to oral care that considers the connection between oral

health and overall wellbeing, with a focus on early intervention and patient education.

? Oral Microbiome Screening and Salivary Testing

Non-invasive testing that may help identify imbalances in oral bacteria and support

personalised care plans for gum and dental health.

? General and Family Dentistry

Routine dental examinations, cleans, fillings, and other general care for patients of all ages.

? Cosmetic and Restorative Dentistry

Aesthetic and functional dental options tailored to individual goals, including teeth

whitening, crowns, bridges, and tooth-coloured restorations.

Early intervention, myofunctional orthodontic options, and family-friendly care to

? Minimally Invasive Dentistry and Biocompatible Materials

Use of dental techniques and materials designed to preserve natural tooth structure

and reduce impact on the body, with a focus on materials selected for their compatibility with the individual.

? Collaborative Care with Integrative Practitioners

Where required, we may work alongside health professionals such as osteopaths,

chiropractors & naturopaths, to support care plans related to jaw tension (TMJ),

clenching and grinding (bruxism), poor sleep/breathing symptoms, and oral microbiome health if related to gut microbiome.

Respectful, Patient-Centred Dental Care

We are committed to treating every member of your family with dignity, respect, and

compassion. We understand that children can often feel anxious about dental visits, so we strive to create a warm, welcoming, and supportive environment where patients of all ages feel informed, comfortable, and empowered to take an active role in their dental and overall health.

Our experienced dental team works together to provide care that prioritises comfort, clinical best practice, and the latest evidence-based methods — all within a fully compliant and regulated practice designed to support your whole family’s wellbeing.
