25.01.2022 Are we the only ones who find it difficult to get our kids to eat fruits and vegetables? Our kids love these chewables and maybe this is why they have not had a sick day at school this year.

24.01.2022 Trust your smile to an Orthodontist!

24.01.2022 Had fun updating our CPR and medical emergency training with the Hastings Team!

24.01.2022 Dr Hanks has chosen his face covering for when he's not on clinic! #ArsenalFC

24.01.2022 What a beautiful place we get to live and work in. This photo was taken on the way to Paynesville

23.01.2022 Good morning! To our patients in Port Fairy and Warrnambool ~ Dr Hanks will be in Warrnambool tomorrow (Thursday 9th). If you have a concern, some colored ties have come loose, something broken, or just a question, contact us ~ we are here for you!

23.01.2022 Ever noticed the unassuming certificate displayed near our steri area? It represents one of the many ways Hanks Orthodontics goes the extra mile for our patients. Accreditation is voluntary and means we go above and beyond the required standards to ensure we provide the highest levels of safety and quality care. Our patients deserve the best!

23.01.2022 Myth: Braces and clear aligners straighten teeth. Fact: Braces and clear aligners are only tools that a skilled AAO #orthodontist uses to properly align one's teeth.

22.01.2022 An innovative change to the toothbrush and something we might have to try.

22.01.2022 We love to support the great work done at MSFIN! Have a look at these lists and see if there is something you can add to a shopping trip ~ one thing, a couple of things or even a whole bunch! As always, we are happy for you to drop items at our practice in Mt Eliza and we will take them to the MSFIN warehouse for you.

21.01.2022 Such talented kids!

20.01.2022 Stunned families have been left thousands of dollars out of pocket and with unfinished orthodontic work after a rogue dentist suddenly closed his clinic. www.7NEWS.com.au #7NEWS

20.01.2022 A little bit of trivia for your Wednesday! Did you also know that you don't need a referral to see a Specialist Orthodontist? Come see us in Mt Eliza or Rosebud. À bientôt!

20.01.2022 This is truly greed at its worst. Do not trust the health of your teeth, your smile or your bite to someone who doesn't care about you and someone who never actually sees or evaluates your mouth.

19.01.2022 Some good news that we can all enjoy... literally! It should go without saying, but we'll say it anyway ~ be sure to brush your teeth afterwards!

19.01.2022 To all of our patients in East Gippsland ~ you are in our daily thoughts and we hope you and your loved ones are all safe.

17.01.2022 Following the closure of the NoBrace clinic, the Australian Dental Association made the following statement. We welcome anyone who needs their treatment and smile completed, simply call us to schedule a consultation.

16.01.2022 To the Hanks Orthodontics community: We want you to know that the health and well-being of our team and patients is of the highest priority to us. With the rapi...dly-changing challenges brought about by the COVID-19 Coronavirus, we are taking extra steps to ensure that our patients and our team are protected. In an eort to keep you informed of the measures we are taking and our schedule, I ask that you please read the following: We are taking all necessary steps to minimise the risk of transmission of the COVID-19 virus as recommended by the World Health Organisation, Australian Dental Association and Australian Government. During this difficult time, we remain fully committed to delivering the best possible care to our patients. It will be business as usual at Hanks Orthodontics while we monitor and follow the guidelines and recommendations of our fellow health organisations. Any questions or concerns may be addressed by emailing [email protected] ~Hand sanitising stations are provided throughout the clinic for patient and staff use ~In addition to our usual cleaning procedures, we are taking extra measures and adding a disinfectant wipe down to commonly touched areas at least once daily ~In the event that an orthodontic patient or family member has symptoms related to those associated with the Coronavirus (fever, persistent cough, shortness of breath) we ask that you do not come to the office. Please contact us so that we may postpone your next visit until an appropriate time ~To date we have no team members or patients that have known exposure to, symptoms related to, or confirmation of the coronavirus ~Any patients who have been overseas in the past 14 days are asked not to come to the practice but to call the staff and we will advise accordingly ~Our infection control remains of the highest standard. All clinics are thoroughly cleaned and instruments sterilized, as always ~Staff are being asked to self-quarantine for 14 days if they have flu-like symptoms or if they come into contact with anyone who has the virus ~As a temporary measure, we ask that you try to limit to one extra person accompanying the patient inside if necessary Thank you for taking the time to read this and remember to keep smiling!!

16.01.2022 Accreditation has been a part of our practice vision for our patients from the beginning. Here is what it means to you:

16.01.2022 Exam time! Dr Hanks and Tayla finishing up last week at a radiology course.

16.01.2022 Need a mouthguard? We have several to choose from ~ give us a call or come by and have a look! We will happily post them to you if needed. We can also make custom mouthguards in your color choice.

15.01.2022 Trust your smile to a specialist!

15.01.2022 Here we go again... With great disappointment, it has been mandated and imposed on the dental community that we are unable to see patients for the next six weeks. We are as frustrated as you are! (probably even more so) Here is what you need to know: Patients in Port Fairy, Warrnambool, Bairnsdale - your appointments will take place as scheduled.... Patients in Mt Eliza and the Mornington Peninsula - your appointments have been deferred for six weeks. You do not need to do anything at this time. You will receive an email reminder prior to your deferred appointment. Should the new date or time need to be rearranged, please contact us. Patients will be contacted individually if we need to see them during the shutdown period. New patients may schedule a no-cost virtual consult during the shutdown period. SMS 0400 664 464 AT ANY TIME, should you have concerns about your appliances or treatment. Remember to include the patient's name and birthday or ID. Full information will be posted on our website: www.hanksorthodontics.com.au KEEP SMILING!!! And remember... your braces will continue working to straighten your teeth during this time :)

14.01.2022 This is so very true. All of us healthcare professionals are now having a very difficult time getting the masks we need to be able to see patients. Without them, we have to literally close.

14.01.2022 What a joy to be involved in this initiative again this year! We were so impressed by the talent of each one of the finalists and enjoyed celebrating with them at the awards presentation. This year's theme was Postcards from the Mornington Peninsula. Be sure to visit the Gallery to see their works, and to purchase a set of 4 postcards of the works of the First Place prize winners ~ just $1!

14.01.2022 Sharing a little homemade goodness with some of our dental friends around the peninsula today. Have a great weekend, everyone!

14.01.2022 Christmas Cheer Appeal! Mums Supporting Families in Need is getting ready for another busy Christmas season. Give a little or give a lot... everything helps! Drop donations by the office and we will be happy to take them to MSFIN for you.

13.01.2022 We are open and continuing to provide safe treatment to our wonderful patients. In addition to normal high standards of infection control in dental practices, we voluntarily participate in additional accreditation, which includes even higher requirements. https://orthodonticsaustralia.org.au/coronavirus-update-sh/

13.01.2022 Yum!!! Donut delivery from Hugo's Donuts in Frankston, bringing smiles to our amazing, hardworking staff! (always remember to brush, of course! :)

13.01.2022 One of the questions we are most frequently asked is if a referral is needed to come see us? While dentists very often send their patients to us, a formal referral isn't needed to make an appointment for a consultation. Have questions or concerns about your bite or your smile, or your child's teeth? Give us a call 03 9787 3849

13.01.2022 We would like to congratulate our nurse, and valued team member Mel, who recently got married to Travis. We wish them both the very best of luck for the future.

12.01.2022 We love working with local charities, and we are currently assisting Mums Supporting Families in Need. Take a minute to learn how this amazing organization started from a single bag of outgrown clothes and a little blue sock that ignited the spark. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVFRfKg2OSs

12.01.2022 Happy Halloween!!

10.01.2022 We Are Open! At this time, we are still able to see patients as scheduled. We will continue to post updates as we receive them.We Are Open! At this time, we are still able to see patients as scheduled. We will continue to post updates as we receive them.

08.01.2022 COVID-19 update. In light of concerns surrounding coronavirus we have made the difficult decision to close our practice to physical patient appointments from COB Friday 27th March 2020. The health and safety of our patients, staff and whole community is our first priority. If your appointment time has been affected, we will be contacting you to reschedule and discuss next steps. ... We are currently reviewing each patient’s treatment plan as appointments are rescheduled, to minimise the impact this delay will have on your overall treatment time. We are still open, working remotely and offering virtual appointments to attend to your needs: ~We will attend to emergency appointments. For any emergencies, please phone us to discuss and we will advise on the best course of action ~Virtual appointments are available with our team to review your treatment progress ~Patients currently undergoing Invisalign treatment will continue wearing your aligners as usual ~New patient consultations that are deferred, can be done virtually, free of charge, during this period Rest assured, we are still here for you and we will do our best to keep your treatment on track. Of course, if you have any questions or concerns regarding your treatment during this time, please contact us via phone or email. We are monitoring the situation closely and will re-open when the government lockdown is lifted.

Your braces are continuing to straighten your teeth, and we are continuing to see patients on a very limited basis. Rest assured, we are closely monitoring every patient's treatment and we are just a phone call or Zoom away if you have questions or need anything. We know it can be frustrating to have your appointment deferred; it is frustrating to us as well. Please be patient and understand that this is out of our control. We are looking forward to seeing you soon! https://orthodonticsaustralia.org.au/how-to-look-after-you/

04.01.2022 The world is becoming an increasingly convenient place. But quicker doesn’t necessarily mean better, especially when it comes to health care

03.01.2022 We are so happy to be a part of the Friends Art Award at the Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery! It is such a fantastic art program for students from all over the peninsula, and the talent that is presented each year is incredible. Dr Hanks sure enjoyed the awards presentation last night! Stop in the Gallery to see the finalists' work, and keep an eye out at peninsula libraries, cafés and Bendigo Bank, Mt Eliza and cafés in Sorrento ~ every one of the hundreds of entries is displayed across the peninsula.

03.01.2022 It's Christmastime! We had so much fun on Friday, our annual staff shopping spree with some new twists to keep everyone on their toes. What a great afternoon!

02.01.2022 Have a quick read through this list and see if there is anything you might be able to contribute to a very worthy cause! And if you don't have time to make it up to the warehouse in Seaford, just bring it by our office and we will take it up there for you.
