You know you should go to the dentist. But something keeps getting in the way.
Maybe it has been a while. Longer than you would like to admit.
Maybe the last time you went, you left feeling rushed, judged, or like you were just a number on a schedule.
Maybe you have been putting it off because you are worried about what they might find. Or what it might cost. Or how you might be made to feel.
That quiet anxiety in the back of your mind — the one that surfaces every time you eat something cold, or catch your smile in a photo, or notice something that does not feel quite right — that is your body asking you to take care of it.
And you deserve a dentist who actually listens.
Or maybe it is something else entirely.
Maybe your teeth are healthy. But every time you smile in a photo, something feels off. You look older than you feel. You hold back in meetings. You cover your mouth when you laugh.
You have built a life you are proud of. Your smile should reflect that.
Or maybe you are in pain right now and you just need someone to help.
A cracked tooth. A throbbing ache that woke you up at 3am. A filling that fell out at the worst possible time.
Whatever brought you here — you are in the right place.
Westlake Dental — Where You Are Listened To, Not Rushed
We are a small, family-owned dental practice right here in Westlake.
Not a corporate chain. Not a high-volume clinic where you are in and out before you have had a chance to ask a question.
Dr Gilbert Stehbens has been practising dentistry for over 30 years. He and his wife Shaleen (our Practice Manager) took over Westlake Dental in 2020. They moved to Australia after surviving two serious accidents just months apart — experiences that entirely changed their perspective on life and how they wanted to care for people.
Dr Gilbert is the same dentist you will see at your first appointment, your tenth appointment, and every appointment in between. Shaleen will be the one making sure you feel welcome the moment you walk through the door.
His approach is simple: understand what you need, explain your options clearly, and let you make the decision. No pressure. No upselling. No judgement — whether it has been six months or six years since your last visit.
We have seen it all. And we are genuinely glad you are here.

Why Patients Trust Dr Gilbert Stehbens
Dr Gilbert has been practising dentistry for over 20 years, with a particular focus on dental implants, cosmetic dentistry, and complex restorative work.
He holds advanced training from the Kois Centre — one of the most respected postgraduate dental education programmes in the world — where he has studied occlusion, implantology, and aesthetic dentistry at the highest level.
He is a member of the Australian Dental Association (ADA) and is committed to ongoing education so that his patients have access to the most current, evidence-based treatment options available.
What sets Dr Gilbert apart is not just his clinical skill. It is the way he communicates. He takes the time to explain what he finds, what your options are, and what he would recommend — and then he lets you decide. His patients describe him as thorough, honest, and genuinely kind.
And yes — he is known for the occasional dad joke. You have been warned.

From your child's first check-up to a full smile transformation, we provide everything your family needs — without referrals, without waiting lists, and without the runaround.

Missing a tooth? We offer complete implant solutions — from single implants to full-arch All-on-4 restorations — planned and placed in-house using 3D imaging technology.
Learn More →Cosmetic Dentistry
Veneers, smile makeovers, Invisalign, CFast teeth straightening, and gummy smile treatment. We design smiles that look natural and suit your face — not a Hollywood template.

Learn More →Teeth Whitening
Professional whitening that actually works. We use clinical-grade whitening systems for results that over-the-counter products simply cannot match.
Learn More →Children's Dentistry
We make the dentist a place kids actually want to come back to. Gentle, fun, and completely non-judgemental — for little ones and nervous parents alike.
Learn More →Dental Hygiene
Scale and clean, gum disease treatment, and preventive care. The foundation of a healthy mouth — and the reason our long-term patients keep their teeth.
Learn More →Restorative Dentistry
Crowns, bridges, root canal therapy, wisdom teeth — when something goes wrong, we fix it properly. We focus on saving your natural teeth wherever possible.
Learn More →The Technology That Means Fewer Referrals and Faster Results
Most dental practices refer you out for specialist imaging. That means extra appointments, extra cost, and extra waiting.
At Westlake Dental, we have heavily invested in high-tech equipment and an established laboratory network to do it in-house — so your treatment moves faster, costs less overall, and stays in the hands of the dentist who knows your case.
In-House 3D CBCT Imaging & Digital X-Rays
We use cone beam CT scanning to create a precise 3D map of your teeth, jaw, and bone structure before any implant or complex procedure. This is the same technology used in specialist clinics — available right here in Westlake.
Intraoral Scanner & Digital Smile Design (DSD)
No more messy, uncomfortable moulds. We use a digital scanner to take precise impressions of your teeth, and DSD software to show you exactly how your cosmetic result will look before treatment starts. No surprises.
Guided Implant Surgery
Digital planning means implants are placed with pinpoint accuracy. This minimally invasive approach typically means less discomfort and a faster recovery compared to traditional methods.
Your First Step — No Pressure, No Obligation
New Patient Check-Up and Clean
$50 off your first check-up and clean when you mention this offer at booking.
Includes: Full dental examination, digital X-rays where needed, professional scale and clean, and a personalised oral health plan.
Free Consultation with Dr Gilbert
Considering implants, veneers, Invisalign, CFast, or a smile makeover?
Book a no-obligation consultation with Dr Gilbert. He will assess your situation, explain your options honestly, and give you a clear picture of what is possible — with no pressure to proceed.
We are a small, personal practice.
Dr Gilbert sees every patient himself. That means our appointment availability is genuinely limited — especially for new patients and complex cases. If you have been thinking about booking, now is the right time.
Questions We Hear All the Time
Ready to Take the First Step?
Whether you need a check-up, you are in pain, or you have been thinking about improving your smile for a while now... the first step is just a phone call or a few clicks away.
We are here. We are welcoming new patients. And we would genuinely love to help.
One Thing Worth Knowing
Most dental problems are easier, faster, and less expensive to treat when they are caught early. A small cavity that takes 20 minutes to fill today can become a root canal or an extraction if it is left for another year.
We are not saying this to scare you. We are saying it because we genuinely want to help you avoid the bigger problems — and the bigger costs that come with them. A check-up is the easiest thing you can do for your long-term health.
Conveniently Located for the Centenary Suburbs
We are based in Westlake and see patients from across the western Brisbane suburbs — including Mount Ommaney, Jindalee, Middle Park, Sinnamon Park, Kenmore, Graceville, Forest Lake, Indooroopilly, Corinda, and Sherwood.
