7to7 Dentist
Meet Dr Paul Stephens
After a teenage bike accident fractured
Paul’s two front teeth, he required
some major dental work. This gave him
a valuable insight, a first hand view
of modern dentistry from a patients
perspective. This experience, and the
gentle, kind care received led him towards
a career in dentistry.
Dr Paul Stephens has been taking care
of smiles for over 20 years. As a dentist,
he is well known for taking pride and care
in his workmanship while still working in a
fun environment.
After working in Tasmania, he settled in
Gosford. A long time local, he has been in
the same private practice, full time on the
coast for over 10 years. He has now started
his own dream practice, 7to7dental.com
“A Family Practice”.
The best compliment he often receives
is when patients refer their family and
friends to see him. Often mum is in
disbelief when her kids actually ENJOY
their dental visit.
How often should I visit the dentist?
Ideally, visit us every six months and we
will accept the health fund rebate as full
payment for preventive dentistry. Save
45-60%.
When should my children first visit?
First visit by their first birthday. Kids have
a ride in the chair with mum and get a
goodie bag.
Flexible Financing
We have a variety of payment options,
including delayed payments over 6 or 12
month. (Automation deduction on a
credit card).
Happy Gas
Happy gas is a sweet smelling gas that
allows almost total relaxation
for even the most
anxious people.

What are Wisdom Teeth?
The last adult molars come through at
about 16-21 years of age. Most people do
not have enough room for them. Decay
and gum problems usually follow. If
wisdom teeth need to be removed, it is
normally best to have them removed in the
late teens/early 20s.
Veterans Affairs Welcome
After proudly serving your great country, it
would be an honour to meet you.
Laser Diagnosis of Decay
Latest technology allows us to see tiny
amounts of decay, much more accurately
than the human eye.
Salivary Diagnosis
A new salivary diagnosis is available to help
prevent future decay.
High Decay Rate?
Have a lot less ‘holes in the future. Ask us
know.
Periodontal (gum) Disease
Swollen, red, bleeding and smelly gums are
not attractive or healthy. They also increase
the risk of miscarriage, heart attacks, and
even strokes.

Whenever possible, we always use
Australian laboratories, materials and
