24.01.2022 Swipe for LOLs I’m not a huge fan of celebrating milestones but I still do it. Mostly to show gratitude and to have fun with it None of this happens by accident or without a tribe ... Big shout out to my day ones on IG who supported me and engaged with the content to let me know what worked and what didn’t. You know who you are. Cheers! Thank you to those who have become digital mentors who have made my dentistry better through your association, inspiration and ongoing feedback. Special thanks to the crew who have provided me with some of the biggest laugh out loud moments, some great discussions and comraderie of the highest level The Ron Burgundy squad photo are dedicated to you And most importantly, you, the patient!

22.01.2022 AN UPDATE ON THE CORONAVIRUS REPOST from @the_happy_broadcast... "While the coronavirus is alarming, the rate of infection in China has slowed down with a fall in the number of new cases. The slowdown in contagion is mostly evident outside the Hubei province (the epicentre of the crisis). The WHO has stated that the Covid-19 causes only mild disease in 80 percent of the people infected and has impacted older people more severely. It appears that Covid-19 is not as deadly as other coronaviruses, including Sars and Mers, said the WHO director general, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. Tedros also said: More than 80% of patients have mild disease and will recover. As of now of the 20,809 cases which had an outcome, 89% of the patients have recovered.

21.01.2022 On Saturday 1st Feb 2020, @rockinghamdentalcentre and @willeridental opened their practices to treat patients as per usual. The twist was that on this day we were going to donate 100% of proceeds directly to @vinniesnsw and @rotaryaustralia who are on the ground helping with supporting families and helping to protect, preserve and rehabilitate our native wildlife. All our team - dental assistants, receptionists, hygienists, dentists, support staff and clinicians - banded toge...ther and asked for nothing and gave everything. And we had some amazing patients and members of the community who helped out too Together, we closed in on $10,000 raised and I could not be prouder to be part of such fantastic teams. Thank you to everyone who liked, shared or spread the word on our previous social media to build awareness towards this initiative. If theres such a thing as a silver lining to this devastating crisis, its seeing all our brothers and sisters, locally and internationally, band together in such a profound way. We definitely had this feeling of helplessness while wanting to make a difference and contribute in some capacity and I guess ultimately its all our little efforts that ultimately add up in a big way. Thanks to all the team at Rockingham Dental Centre, Willeri Dental for their efforts and for leading by example. And thanks to Bobby from @lensnationstudio for the photos documenting the day and to @jaffelato for their contribution to the day and to the donations. One Iove @ Willeri Dental

17.01.2022 MASKHOLES A bit of fun to kick the week off This legend, @thecarlosramos, came up with this hilarious artwork.... Personally, Im pretty sure Ive been caught in PACIFIER mode by Karen, @k8zab and the rest of the team at @rockinghamdentalcentre more times than Id like to admit Its like the rubberband on the wrist thing except with way more public shaming Tag a maskhole you know! Ill kick you guys off below. In all seriousness though, well done WA! were on our way out of the fog! And those overseas, fingers crossed youll be out of it soon. Until then, try to keep staying at home and if you think you might be unwell in any way and absolutely NEED to go out, please wear a mask! It really can help in short bursts of time to avoid you potentially infecting others. #drvilasthedentist #rockinghamdentalcentre #thepatientdentist #willeridental #dentistAF #rockingham #willetton #parkwood @ Rockingham, Western Australia See more

14.01.2022 Happy International Nurses Day .. for yesterday Was contemplating not posting about this since I was late to the party (have been absolutely slammed at work) but with this pandemic and the huge gratitude we feel towards nurses (medical and dental) in our family, it wouldve stuck with me not to honour them in some way Love this photo as it shows the attitude Ive seen and experienced firsthand from these sometimes overlooked heroes. ... Thank you for everything you do looking after those most vulnerable amongst us usually with very little recognition and reminding us what it means to be human. The post after the swipe is from my brother whos a doctor who has had his share of medical issues too. He can name all the nurses who helped him through his most tricky times. #drvilasthedentist #thepatientdentist #dentistaf #rockinghamdentalcentre #rockingham #willeridental #willetton #parkwood @ Perth, Western Australia

14.01.2022 This was the big sister of one of the other patients who had Invisalign with me a few images ago. ...

13.01.2022 NEED YOUR OPINION (pretty please ) Let me know in the comments below if photos like the one above would make you think less or more of a dentists work? ... What I mean by photos like the one above is that they are low resolution and the angle/position/framing of the first photo is different from the second which isnt consistent which lends itself to some difficulties in comparing one to the other. Even though I love the result we were able to achieve. This post is more about trying something out for a colleague (hence the question ). TREATMENT: Invisalign, Porcelain Veneers BY: @drvilasmenon, @invisalignau with the porcelain work by the fantastic Tom at @creationsdental This is actually an older case. I saw him recently and while i havent got newer photos, he and I were thrilled with how they looked 5-7 years on. #dentistry #dentist #cosmeticdentist #odontolgia #aesthetic dentistry #smile #smiledesign #dental #dentalphotography #photooftheday #instagood #beforeandafter #perth #perthdentistry #rockingham #dentallife #health #beauty #prosthodontics #instadaily #porcelainveneers #veneers #slowdentistry #slowdentistry #greendentistry All minor and major dental procedures have their risks and benefits.

10.01.2022 RE-CREATING NATURE Sometimes we CREATE brand new smiles, sometimes we RE-CREATE whats already there (@piresgigi ) Both come with their own challenges and rewards.... This little legend broke his tooth running into a pole when he was 7 years old and had the tooth fixed. Pat subsequently did what many little ladies and little men do and proceeded to pay little regard to this and kept jumping, running and playing. 6 years later at the ripe old age of 13 years old, he turned up @rockinghamdentalcentre having broken the restoration and a bit more tooth. He was too young to have porcelain work (which Im not even sure if I would do given the results we can achieve with the humble composite/plastic restoration) and only wanted the single tooth fixed. And here we are. Being one of those people who constantly wrestles with imposter syndrome, I can still see all the stuff I dont like about the work (or a kinder way to put it might be - things I can improve on). All in all, however, I was happy with the result, mostly because Pat, who was the typical blas indifferent 13 year old boy, parked up with a resounding WOW! when he saw the result and proceeded to ask me a million and one questions on how I did it! Only reason I come to work. To get that lightbulb to go out for those people around me Thank you for reading #drvilasthedentist #thepatientdentist #rockinghamdentalcentre #willeridental #rockingham #willetton #riverton #parkwood P.S.

10.01.2022 Sunday funday Amazing that these little plastic aligners can make such a big difference (Apologies for the quality of the photos.

04.01.2022 YOUR DEFINITIVE WEDDING SMILE CHECKLIST / CHEAT SHEET So this is what Dentists do when they go to a wedding Dr Sarah, the maid of honour, and yours truly were lamenting the number of patients who come in at the last minute or without enough time to do those procedures they want to do prior to their own weddings. ... Sometimes there just isnt enough time to help people and it breaks our hearts or people start trying more desperate measures which could put their teeth, smile or health at risk. To avoid this, we thought wed create this definitive guide / cheat sheet to how much time you need to get certain procedures done to get your smile wedding ready and on time! We were both so inspired by this common concern that we pulled out some sticky notes at the wedding itself and scribbled out the timeline (apologies for the low fi nature of the post haha). I know I know ... Were (extremely passionate) dental nerds but we figure thats what you want from the dentists you trust your valuable smile and oral health to. Hope you find this useful. If you do, make sure you share it or save it for future reference. Make sure you comment if you have any feedback for us too.

03.01.2022 The Wedding Smile Guide (or How to Get Your Smile Wedding Ready) ...

03.01.2022 RANDOM THOUGHTS running through my mind when I was doing these composites: (1) The number 1 reason I dont document more often but it never takes half as long as I think ... (2) Did that make sense? (3) I love Gow Gates. PRO-TIP: Put a bite block in the patients mouth for 2 minutes after to really get that Gow Gates doing its thing. (4) Also, documentation ALWAYS makes me better so no real excuses I guess (5) I know this seems obvious but the bigger the tooth, the more composite increments i need which means the appointment is always going to take longer (and I only remember this point mid-appointment). (6) Caries is never as small as it looks on x-rays. (7) Once I start taking photos, if I run out of time, Im allowed to stop taking photos or Ill run late (8) If I run late trying to take photos, my DA wont only have no sympathy for me but she might be a bit mad at me. (9) I might be able to soften the blow by buying her a coffee. Never make the DA mad LOL. (10) If I have to choose, SHAPE trumps beats SHADE every time. (11) Strive for perfection. Let it be your true north. (12) But be ok with good enough (as long as the patient is happy). (13) I love RD more consistent results, easier to take photos and prevent all that excess saliva flow amongst lots of other reasons (14) I really have to get those KERR plastic clamps (15) I should get @jaffelato for lunch (16) But I also really hate RD when Im lazy with it. In this case, I used the cuff technique which normally works but this guy had bulk saliva flow and it was hell (sorry mate!). I shouldve really changed to single hole technique but I kept persisting with the cuff technique and ended up taking longer as a result. Lesson for next time. (17) The patient actually loved RD so (18) I love bite blocks. (19) Note to self: expect the best but plan for the worst (20) I really have to send that email to @k8zab about PRODA (continued ..)
