About our clinic
Your smile is important to us at Bupa Dental Maleny. Our highly trained and caring dentists help patients of all ages to maintain good oral health for life.
We know some people feel nervous about visiting the dentist. That's why we've made our dental clinic a friendly and fun place to be – from our bubbly staff to the relaxing views of the bird feeders outside. We want you to enjoy every part of your dental visit, so you won't delay your appointments and our dentists have the chance to spot signs of oral health problems at an early stage when they can be easier to treat.
When you visit our clinic for a check-up, we'll use the latest equipment including digital x-rays and intraoral cameras to get a complete view of your mouth, so we can develop your
If you have an oral health issue that needs to be addressed, we'll discuss all the treatment options we offer, so you can choose the one that's right for you or your child. Our professional dentists and prosthetists are skilled in a wide range of dental treatments, from implants and orthodontics to cosmetic treatments such as teeth whitening. Every procedure is tailored to your individual needs.
We love living and working in our community in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, and we're proud to be helping local people make positive changes to their oral health. Come and visit us any time at Bupa Dental Maleny, so we can help you and your family to look after your smiles.
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.

Dr Karen Gibson
Dr Karen Gibson acquired her Bachelor of Dentistry from Dundee, Scotland in 1999, and a postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education Training from Belfast, Northern Ireland in 2011. Dr Karen is interested in all aspects of general dentistry, particularly preventative care and cosmetic treatments, which can make a significant difference to a patient’s smile and wellbeing.
Dr Karen believes dentistry is an important aspect of healthcare and wants to make a difference by helping patients to keep their teeth healthier for longer. Dr Karen has a calm and gentle manner which helps ensure all her patients have a positive dental experience. Advances in materials over the last 25 years mean silver amalgam fillings and metal crowns are no longer necessary. This allows the use of tooth-coloured restorative materials to provide natural-looking restorations and to replace missing teeth.
Dr Karen loves running and has two very active children. As a family, they love discovering what the Sunshine Coast has to offer; however, her favourite activity is taking her stand-up paddleboard out at Cotton Tree. Dr Karen recommends regular check-ups as they are important for the health of your teeth and gums.
