What Sets Us Apart 

At Bayside Family Dental Care, we believe our prevention-focused family dental clinic is unique because:

  1. We are a very informative dental clinic that actively involves patients in each step of their treatment and oral health care. We want what's best for you and having open communication with you helps us achieve our shared goal of creating a healthy smile that lasts. 
  2. We give each patient our undivided attention, so you feel as though you're the only person in our care. 
  3. We have TVs in each treatment room to show patients what's happening in their mouths and present their x-rays and treatment plans.
  4. Our modern dental practice has an open concept design with our sterilisation facilities, so patients can see us at work and better understand how we can support them. 
  5. We are one of the only dental practices in the area to offer 3-D CBCT scanning and digital OPG dental x-rays in house. 
  6. We have a dedicated hygienist who welcomes and cares for patients by performing dental cleans, x-rays and more.
  7. We provide gentle, stress-free dentistry by offering nitrous oxide, oral sedation, adjustable chairs, blankets, neck pillows, stress balls and local anesthesia.
  8. We are active partners in helping our patients attain their healthiest smiles, and we take the time to speak with you at length about their dental needs, goals and concerns.
  9. We offer bulk billing options for our patients' convenience with paying for their treatments.

Dr Chad Henderson

Dr Chad Henderson is the principal dentist at Bayside Family Dental Care. After a career in the IT industry as a graphic and web designer, Dr Henderson decided to return to school and pursue dentistry. He received his Bachelor of Science degree at the University of New Brunswick and a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. 

Upon graduating in 2010, Dr Henderson worked for the Canadian Armed Forces as a contracted civilian dentist until early 2013, when he and his wife decided to pursue a new adventure. The warm and welcoming nature of Australia was just too good to pass up. 

After his arrival, Dr Henderson realised that Australians' humorous nature and mannerisms were identical to Canadians. For him, it was apparent he made the right choice to relocate to the beautifully exotic land of Australia. He now happily calls Batemans Bay, also known as Australia's Oyster Coast, his home. 

Dr Henderson is a certified Australian Dental Association and AHPRA member, and he specialises in surgical extractions and dental implants. 

His hobbies include computer gaming, working out and motorcycling along the coast.
