Dr Niels Kirsten
Dentist
Dr Niels Kirsten is an experienced dentist with a strong focus on surgical, implant and restorative dentistry.
Originally from Townsville in North Queensland, he began his career in healthcare at James Cook University where he graduated with a Bachelor of Nursing Science in 2010. He worked as a registered nurse in rural and remote communities across Far North Queensland, gaining extensive clinical experience in patient care and complex medical management. This early experience in healthcare continues to shape his comprehensive and patient-centred approach to dentistry.
Dr Niels later returned to James Cook University to complete his Bachelor of Dental Surgery, graduating in 2015 and following in his father’s footsteps into the dental profession. Growing up in a dental practice provided early exposure to clinical dentistry and fostered a strong interest in surgical and restorative treatment from a young age.

He completed a Graduate Diploma in Implantology and has undertaken advanced prosthodontic and aesthetic training through a Mini-Residency in Prosthodontics. This training focuses on comprehensive treatment planning, occlusion, full-mouth rehabilitation and advanced restorative techniques for complex functional and aesthetic cases.
Dr Niels has a particular interest in implant dentistry and comprehensive restorative treatment. His clinical scope includes dental implants, full-arch implant rehabilitation, bone grafting procedures, surgical wisdom tooth removal, complex extractions and aesthetic restorative dentistry. He enjoys managing complex cases that require a multidisciplinary approach, combining surgical precision with detailed restorative planning to achieve predictable long-term outcomes for his patients.
Committed to ongoing professional development, Dr Niels regularly undertakes further training and advanced education to remain at the forefront of modern implant and restorative dentistry. His approach focuses on careful diagnosis, detailed treatment planning and delivering high-quality outcomes while ensuring patients feel comfortable, informed and confident throughout their treatment journey.
