About Dr Mark Taylor
Dr Taylor was among the first ten dentists in Australia to undertake the pioneering Clinical Dental Implant Masters programme at Griffith University’s School of Oral Health on the Gold coast.
It covered both the surgical and restorative aspects of implant treatments. He successfully gained the registrable qualification, Masters in Clinical Dental Implants after completing the two year Masters program.
Dr Mark Taylor first qualified as a dentist in 1990 at the prestigious Royal London Medical and Dental Hospital in the University of London, U.K. The next year in 1991 he gained the ” Vocational Training Award” at the Charring Cross Hospital postgraduate centre, London, U.K.
Mark's Background
In 1997, Dr Taylor and his wife moved to Australia and settled on the Gold Coast. He established himself and became a principal at a prestigious Southport practice. He was based there for about 17 years during which time he sold up to a corporate group. Dr Taylor has now chosen to work independently which gives him the freedom to provide his patients with the highest quality of care and treatment.
As such we moved to Robina Quays where Dr Taylor and his wife personally helped design a beautiful state-of-the-art 3 surgery practice with leading dental technology.
Our practice also houses a world first dental software in our Vatech X-ray machine.
We provide the full range of general dental and dental implant treatments. We welcome your family and you at our brand new dental practice!

Dr Remon worked for Queensland health as a principal dentist in charge of the school dental services, where he excelled in attending to the dental health of children across the Gold Coast.
In 2006 Dr Remon transitioned to the private sector. This provided him the autonomy to hone his skills in areas of dentistry that he was especially interested in, including helping restore dental implants.
Given his aspirations in providing quality dental care for his wide patient base, he sought Robina Quays Dental Care. With our boutique practice set up, Dr Remon enjoys doing what he does best, provide exceptional care to his valued patients.
