Dr Gullotta is the founder and director of Gullotta Orthodontics which he established in 1987 and since then, he has been pivotal to bringing beautiful smiles to his patients on the Gold Coast.
Correcting dental health issues such as a bad bite and crooked teeth is much more than a physical transformation. Dr Gullotta changes lives and makes people want to smile again… and never stop. He believes that while the first solution is to treat the dental concerns, the new-found confidence and self-assurance that comes as part of the journey is inspirational.
After completing his undergraduate dentistry degree at the University of Queensland in Brisbane in 1979, Dr Gullotta began working as a dentist at the Brisbane Dental Hospital for a short period before moving to Brisbane Children’s Dental Hospital. During his four years at the children’s dental hospital he was involved in the dental and orthodontic treatment of many children with cleft palate and other cranio-facial problems.
It was this experience that led to his passion for orthodontics and in 1984 he moved to Melbourne to commence his Masters in Orthodontics at Melbourne University, Royal Dental Hospital of Melbourne.
It was not long after he graduated that Dr Gullotta went into private practice as an orthodontist in Southport, on the Gold Coast. That’s where he has remained for the over 30 years.
A veteran of the industry, Dr Gullotta is a member of many professional orthodontic bodies, including:

Orthodontics is the specialty of dentistry that focuses on the diagnosing, preventing and treating problems in the alignment of the teeth and jaws. Orthodontic treatment involves using braces, clear aligners plates, and other corrective devices to move teeth and jaws into normal alignment. It may involve changing the position of the teeth or modifying the way the jaw grows.
An orthodontist is a dentist who has undertaken an additional two or three years of full-time study and clinical training at university (usually a Masters degree) so they can specialise in orthodontics. This extra study is on top of the five years spent training as a general dentist. Orthodontists are the most qualified to diagnose, prevent and treat problems you may have in the alignment of your teeth and jaws.
No, a referral is not necessary to see a specialist orthodontist like Dr Gullotta. You should, however, have a general dental check-up before you start any orthodontic treatment. This is because there may be some dental problems eg dental decay or gum disease that may need to be addressed before orthodontic treatment can begin.

Orthodontic treatment is optimally initiated during adolescence (ideally between age 10 and 14) when growth spurts aid in addressing tooth and jaw alignment. In some cases, early intervention, starting around age 7, allows orthodontists to detect and treat issues before they become complex.

Nonetheless, the advantages of orthodontic treatment are not limited to adolescence. Many adults pursue orthodontic care for both dental health and aesthetics, emphasising that it’s never too late to improve one’s smile. Read our Blog on 5 Reasons why 20 Somethings are Having Orthodontic Treatment.

The duration of orthodontic treatment can vary depending on the complexity of the issues being addressed. In general, treatment can last anywhere from several months to a few years. The orthodontist will provide a more accurate estimate after assessing your child’s specific case. The treatment process typically involves regular appointments to adjust braces, aligners, or other orthodontic appliances. These appointments ensure that the teeth are moving as planned and that the treatment is progressing effectively. It’s important to follow the orthodontist’s recommendations and maintain good oral hygiene to help expedite the treatment process.
