25.01.2022 Did you know that children with asthma have a higher risk of dental caries and erosion in their baby teeth?

25.01.2022 Celebrating the start of spring with a funny photo! The weather has been gorgeous lately so Caroline and Leanne took the kids outside to have some fun! Best play date ever with this bunch of cool kids!

25.01.2022 Happy Fathers Day to all of the Vivid Dental Dads! We hope you have a really great day today. Thinking of those who cannot be with their Dad today and we hope you can spend the day with someone special. An extra Happy Fathers Dad to Dr Andy!

25.01.2022 For the remainder of this month we are going to provide you with a bit more information about implants, crowns and bridges. I thought we should start with showing you this amazing results from Andy. Dr Andy placed dental implants and restored them with crowns. The final result shows a very natural and balanced smile. Without the before photo it would be very hard to pick the implants! Well done Andy, another wonderful result.

25.01.2022 Losing a tooth can be not only detrimental to your oral health but can bring down your own sense of how beautiful your smile is. If you've lost a tooth, though, there are a number of options available to you to restore your happiness in your smile.

25.01.2022 Wow...it's only 7 weeks until Christmas It feels like the last couple of months have gone by fast! You may be wondering why we are reminding you about Christmas already? Well, many private health funds operate by calendar year. This means what you don't use this year will not be rolled over to 2021. So if you are due for a check up, clean or have outstanding treatment to do (crowns, implants, fillings or orthodontics) you might want to get your treatment done this year to make the most of your health fund.

24.01.2022 We have limited appointments available before we close over Christmas and New Year. Our last day at work is Wednesday 23rd December and we will reopen on Monday 4th January. If you would like an appointment before the end of the year please call us as soon as possible

24.01.2022 Has your child had their first dental check up yet? Here is Bec, relaxed and excited to have her teeth checked by Dr Theresa. Bec loved it and can’t wait to go back again. To find out more or to book your child in for a check up in the New Year give us a call - we’d love to hear from you.

23.01.2022 Another way to take care of your tooth enamel is to brush regularly and use a fluoridated toothpaste.

23.01.2022 Asthma Week 2020 (September 1-7) Spring is the season where the weather warms, flowers begin to bloom and theres an overall sense of new beginning in the air. Yet we all know that 2020 has and continues to be, a big year for people with asthma. So, as we spring into the season, take time this Asthma Week to take a breather.... For more information about Asthma week head to https://asthma.org.au/get-involved/asthma-week/

23.01.2022 Wearing a mask before and after your dental appointment at Vivid Dental is encouraged. Lets do all that we can to keep everyone safe

23.01.2022 Happy Birthday to our Oral Health Therapist, Leanne

22.01.2022 As you know the team at Vivid Dental wear face masks all day, it has always been part of our uniform. To keep everyone at Vivid Dental safe we encourage everyone to wear a mask when visiting us!

22.01.2022 Whether its a highly visible front tooth, or a back tooth you need for chewing and eating, implants are the most secure and life-like replacement option for a missing tooth. This patient presented with a missing front tooth. Dr Andy placed an implant and restored it to a very high standard. If you look at the 'after' photo first it is very difficult to see which tooth has had treatment. Well done Dr Andy.

22.01.2022 To help keep our community safe please wear a mask at Vivid Dental before and after your dental procedure.

22.01.2022 Thinking of our patients who finished year 12 this year. It's a big day today receiving your HSC and ATAR results - You've Got This!

22.01.2022 While X-Rays are an important part of your dental health (X-Rays allow us to see between the teeth and under the gum line), we do know you may have questions regarding the safety of constant X-Rays. Here at Vivid we use a tunnel beam style X-Ray machine, in order to focus and minimise exposure:

You can find the contact details for Welsch Photography on their website https://www.welsch.com.au/ #welschphoto

22.01.2022 Level 1 Restrictions means we are still screening everyone before you come into the office (for example, asking if you had been overseas or in contact with a confirmed or suspected COVID-19 case) as well as taking everyones temperature once you arrive at the office. If you have a cough, sore throat, respiratory trouble, or cold or flu symptoms, we ask that you let us know as soon as possible so we can get you rescheduled right away.

22.01.2022 We know that you may have a lot of questions about teeth whitening and why you should come in and talk to us. A few reasons that we recommend in-office whitening treatments are: - Safety - We protect your teeth and gums where at-home trays don't - Better Products - Because of the higher potency products that we can use, you can see results faster And as always, by coming in and talking to us first, we can help create a customised approach to fit your desires and needs.

22.01.2022 We know that coming in for a cleaning isn't always the best experience for everyone. To make this important dental procedure better, we use the Airflow system to clean your teeth without the scraping.

21.01.2022 Cleaning Cleaning Cleaning We have always been proud of the high standards of cleaning and disinfecting at our practice even before the days of COVID-19. Since COVID-19 we have implemented even more protocols and procedures to keep you safe, for example we have changed our reception chairs to ones that can be disinfected at regular intervals.

21.01.2022 Have a look at this smile transformation by Dr Jenny Ly. This patient saw Jenny because they were not happy with the appearance of their front teeth, especially near the gumline. Dr Jenny replaced the dental crowns, giving the patient a very natural result and confident smile. Well done Jenny, a wonderful result.

21.01.2022 By visiting us regularly, you will get a deeper cleaning than brushing alone. In addition, we can keep on top of any tooth enamel issues before they become major health concerns. If you haven’t scheduled in your cleaning appointments for 2021, give us a ring and we’ll be happy to schedule out your appointments for you!

20.01.2022 Thank you Reshma! Reshma has been part of the Vivid Dental family for quite some time and we wouldnt have it any other way. Reshma, we think you are a very talented dental assistant, we love your willingness, the care you have for the team and our patients and your contagious smile (you also make awesome coffee thank you )

20.01.2022 Friends that play together get their teeth checked together! We loved having our kids at Vivid a Dental for their check up appointments today - best play date ever!

20.01.2022 Did you know, that in-office teeth whitening can give you that brighter smile of your dreams in an hour? (compared to the 2+ weeks you have to wait for at-home options to start showing results)

20.01.2022 Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas with friends and family!

19.01.2022 Do you find yourself hiding your teeth or shying away from photos? We understand how important your smile is and how crooked teeth can really affect your confidence. We often meet patients who are embarrassed by their crooked teeth but feel confused by the different treatment options available to them. Most patients have heard of Invisalign, but aren’t sure whether it’s right for them. If you would like to find out if Invisalign is the right choice for you call us to schedule an Invisalign assessment.

18.01.2022 Today is the last official day of Dental Health Week 2020 we still have loads of information to share so we will continue with the theme of how much sugar is in your trolley for the remainder of August.

18.01.2022 Join us in wishing our beautiful Dr Theresa a very happy birthday! We hope you had a wonderful day and we are glad we could share it with you! Xx

18.01.2022 Setting yourself up for successfully taking care of your oral health throughout the year means planning ahead. And why not start out right at the beginning of the year get your teeth cleaning in the books, then get your 6 month check up scheduled, and keep the plan going for the next year.

18.01.2022 A regular check up is the corner stone of good preventive care. With regular check up we can pick up any problems with your teeth like cavities, chipped/worn fillings and broken teeth early before they lead to bigger problems such as pain and infection. For your convenience we always combine a check-up into the same visit as a clean.

17.01.2022 With the holiday season upon us, there are a few ways you can keep yourself healthy this year. Try replacing those sugary pick-me-up snacks with low GI options, like whole grain crackers with cheese, yogurt, tuna and salad or veggie sticks with hummus dip. Your teeth and your body will thank you for it!

17.01.2022 Dr Caroline and her family on Christmas Day! Henry and Clara look so excited!

17.01.2022 Did you know? Dental Crowns provide a few distinct advantages to your dental health: - Supports a tooth that has been damaged by decay - Holds a cracked or broken tooth together - Protect a tooth after a root canal - Protect a tooth that has worn down over time (prevents additional damage)

17.01.2022 We’ve all heard of gum disease and gingivitis, but what is periodontal disease?

17.01.2022 Did you know that by implementing one change everyday for 21 days, you set a habit? We challenge you to floss your teeth every night for 21 days and see how inspired you are to continue living a healthy lifestyle.

17.01.2022 #TBT to Clara and Becs first ride in the dental chair

17.01.2022 Happy New Year from the Vivid Dental Team

16.01.2022 Hands up if you would like your teeth whitened for summer? Yes please! These fabulous results were achieved by Dr Jenny Ly. Our in-office whitening system will have you waking around with white teeth in just over an hour! How quick is that? Call our office if you would like to find out more information about whitening your teeth and to have a brighter smile before Christmas.

16.01.2022 When did you last change your toothbrush? It is recommended to change your toothbrush every 3 months. It is much easier to keep track of this if you change your toothbrush every season. So now that it is spring it is a good time to replace your toothbrush.

16.01.2022 Most people know that dentists generally recommend patients have a regular check up and clean every six months. But why is this the case? Because tooth pain isn't the only indication that your oral health is at risk. Learn more on our blog post here:

16.01.2022 Did you know there are FIVE WEEKS remaining until we close for 2020! If you have private health insurance now may be the time to take action to get more benefit from your cover. Most private health funds have deadlines that end on December 31 for using services including dental. ... Many of our patients want to get the most out of their cover after paying into their health fund throughout the year. If this is you, and you have treatment required (or are overdue for a check-up and clean) call us soon to avoid the frantic rush before the end of the year.

15.01.2022 At home whitening systems bought from chemists or supermarkets might seem like a great option, but keep in mind they have a significantly lower strength of peroxide than dentally administered alternatives. Many teeth whitening systems use a plastic mouth-guard type tray, and a tube of teeth whitening gel - and this can lead to burned gums. If you are curious about teeth whitening, book an appointment with us today for a consultation.

15.01.2022 Tooth enamel is something you know you need to take care of but you might not be sure exactly how to go about doing so. 2 ways you can start are by consciously choosing to eat calcium rich foods and by limiting your intake of sugary foods.

15.01.2022 Smile Transformation by Andy Dr Andys patient wanted the spaces between his teeth reduced and for his smile to be rejuvenated. Andy used tooth coloured composite dental material to reshape the teeth and close the gaps. It really is quite an artwork and a wonderful result.

15.01.2022 Can you spot the tooth decay? Dental xrays are a valuable tool to aid in the detection and diagnosis of dental caries. In some cases the decay is picked up on the radiographs prior to it being noticable visible in the mouth which leads to more timely treatment.

14.01.2022 Hi everyone, I just wanted to share my story here and thank everyone who has donated to the cause so far. We have almost reached our goal and I'm humbled by the support of our patients and the community. If you would like to donate please click on the link in the comments.

14.01.2022 A few more benefits to in-office teeth whitening for you to consider are: - Faster Results - rather than waiting for 2+ weeks to begin to see those teeth whitening results, we can get you whiter, brighter teeth in an hour - Professional Supervision - with in-office teeth whitening your progress and the health of your teeth are monitored by our professional team... We can ensure that whitening is appropriate to your teeth and help guide you to your desired result, while maintaining your overall oral health.

14.01.2022 Only FOUR weeks to go! Have you made your dental appointment before we close between Christmas and New year? Appointments are filling up fast (filling...see what we did there??) so don't delay if you need an appointment.

14.01.2022 If you have missing teeth, a bridge may be a great option for you to achieve your ideal smile. A bridges is a term used to describe the prosthetic replica of a tooth (or teeth) modelled on an individuals own mouth and then cemented in place.

13.01.2022 Did you know there are several different teeth whitening options available for you? We have broken down the main options in this helpful blog post and included the positives and negatives of each so you can make an informed decision.

13.01.2022 In office Whitening Dr Theresa achieved fantastic results for this patient. In the first phase of treatment Dr Theresa clean the teeth, then completed in Office whitening. In office whitening is the quickest method to whiten your teeth.

13.01.2022 Have a look at this amazing fact sheet from the Rethink Sugary Drink website http://www.rethinksugarydrink.org.au//rethink-sugary-drink

13.01.2022 Do you avoid getting a cleaning because of the scraping makes you uncomfortable? You're not alone - that's why we are excited to use the AirFlow system here at Vivid! AIRFLOW is a non-contact form of dental maintenance and prevention. It projects a controlled stream of air, warm water and very fine sweet powder onto the tooth and in hard-to-reach areas to dislodge and remove food particles, plaque, discolouration and stains.

12.01.2022 What exactly is a dental crown? A dental crown is a cap that goes over an existing tooth. Learn more here: https://vividdental.com.au/crowns-bridges-and-implants/

11.01.2022 Happy Birthday Tayla! We look forward to celebrating with you today!

11.01.2022 Did you know that your oral health is vital to your overall health?

11.01.2022 We've all seen the ads - "brighten your teeth just by using our toothpaste!" - but do whitening toothpastes actually work? Read a comparison of teeth whitening options on our blog here:

11.01.2022 What is Calculus? No, we’re not talking maths but the build-up of dental plaque which causes a variety of dental woes and obstacles to great dental health. https://vividdental.com.au/my-teeth-dont-hurt-so-why-do-i-/

11.01.2022 Dr Jenny’s gorgeous Children on Christmas Day! Love their matching Christmas pyjamas!

11.01.2022 Regular checkups not only allow you to feel more comfortable with your dentist, they also help us get to know your child and their teeth before any problems occur. During these visits we offer fluoridation treatments, can seal teeth to help prevent cavities, and can remove plaque and tartar that regular brushing will not get rid of. We also highly recommend that you introduce fluoridated toothpaste as soon as your child is able to brush without swallowing.

10.01.2022 It's the last day of winter! Here is a photo of Joshua and Rebecca playing in some snow.

10.01.2022 Have you every considered how many teaspoons of sugar are in different drinks? Some drinks have over 17 teaspoons of sugar per serve! Have a look at this website to get the facts on sugary drinks http://www.rethinksugarydrink.org.au/how-much-sugar

05.01.2022 How long does teeth whitening last? Depending upon your brushing, flossing and oral care habits, teeth whitening can last approximately two years - though we recommend a plan to keep up your brightness with custom-take home whitening trays every 6 months.

05.01.2022 Do your children need their teeth checked before they start school in 2021? Here is Josh, relaxing during his check up and clean (watching Paw Patrol on our ceiling tv)

05.01.2022 Did you know.... Research shows that the simplest way to reduce dental disease such as gum disease (which includes gingivitis and periodontal disease) is to have your teeth cleaned professionally at least every 6 months. This removes the build up of calculus, commonly called tartar or plaque which is that furry feeling you get on your teeth and surface staining caused by things like tea and coffee. Hygiene visits address other concerns such as bad breath and rough areas on your teeth.

05.01.2022 One thing that tends to get forgotten around this time is our health. We eat sweets, are constantly bombarded by a variety of foods and drink we normally don’t indulge in. It’s important that once this season has begun winding down you take a look at your family’s oral health.

05.01.2022 Our office will be closed Thursday December 24th thru Sunday January 3rd. We look forward to seeing you again, starting Monday January 4th!

05.01.2022 Boss's Day Thank you Dr Caroline Nguyen (founder of Vivid Dental) for being a supportive, present and encouraging employer. We appreciate the time and dedication you have for all of us. Thank you for always making sure we are ok and for making Vivid Dental a happy and enjoyable place to work.... We wish you a happy Boss's day for 2020

05.01.2022 Cuteness overload....here is a video of Dr Jennys daughter at her first dental visit. We are pleased to write that we have so many young patients that ENJOY coming to Vivid Dental and have a wonderful dental experience right from the start! How did your child go at their first dental visit?
