Our Philosophy

Our Philosophy - A Comprehensive Approach

Contact Us

At Viva Dental Victoria, our primary goal is to provide you with high-quality dental care in a friendly, comfortable environment helping to keep your teeth strong and healthy at every age. 


We believe that preventative care, education, and patient participation are essential to maintaining optimal oral health and overall well-being.

It's not just about your teeth...

Our holistic philosophy is about more than just teeth; it’s about the relationship between your smile and your body. It’s about feeling comfortable when someone makes you grin and being yourself at all times without pain or embarrassment. We focus on building a relationship with you from the moment you walk through our doors. We provide wellness education and treatment that will keep you smiling confidently at all times.

A Thorough Examination

Your mouth, lips, teeth, gums, tongue, cheeks, jaw joints, occlusion (bite), and chewing muscles are all part of a complex, interconnected system. When changes are made to the teeth without considering the entire system, we can create problems in other parts of your head and face.


Unfortunately, a common mistake made in dentistry is to start treating the teeth without doing a thorough examination and with no consideration for other issues that may be going on in the mouth and jaws.


In addition, recent research has shown that there is a connection between your oral health and your overall health. More specifically, gum disease (periodontitis) is associated with other serious diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, respiratory infection, erectile dysfunction, metabolic syndrome, and rheumatoid arthritis, just to name a few!

We are also here to help if you suffer from sleep apnea and associated snoring. Sleep apnea is a serious medical condition that limits oxygen to the brain during sleep. It is associated with diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, obesity and car accidents. Snoring is often associated with acid reflux which can cause serious damage to your teeth. Although we can not diagnose sleep apnea, we can work with your doctor to provide the most effective treatment for you.

As you can see, we believe that it is vital to obtain a complete picture of your oral health by doing a complete clinical, photographic and radiographic examination as well as a digital 3-D scan that includes all parts of your oral cavity. This examination includes checking your mouth for oral cancer and other abnormalities. We want to fully understand your oral health before doing any work on your teeth!

A Unique Treatment Plan

Once we have performed our initial examination, we will discuss the findings with you using your digital radiographs, photographs and digital 3-D scan. Everyone has unique needs, desires, and expectations regarding their oral health and appearance. We are committed to understanding these concerns and, in partnership with you, we will develop a plan that is appropriate for you. Our ultimate goal is to provide you with a healthy,

comfortable, functional, aesthetically pleasing, and long-lasting smile.

Our focus is on educating our patients about their oral health.

High-Quality Care

This comprehensive approach helps us to understand your needs and desires. As well as helping us to restore your teeth in harmony with your jaw joint, chewing muscles and other tissues. In addition, it allows us to take a proactive approach in the prevention of dental disease ensuring that your mouth — and your body — are healthy for life!


Delivering such high-quality dental care requires time, effort, teamwork, a well-educated dental team, the latest technologies and techniques, the best dental materials, excellent dental laboratory support, and meticulous attention to detail. The Viva Dental Victoria combines all of these elements to deliver the best dental experience possible!

The Viva Dental Victoria Experience

At Viva Dental Victoria, we pride ourselves in providing high-quality dental care in a friendly, calm environment. The genuine care and comfort of our patients is our highest priority!


Our friendly, compassionate team members focus on building a relationship with you from the moment you walk through our door. We strive to help every patient feel safe and supported throughout their dental treatment. To make your dental experience more pleasant, we offer an array of solutions to help you feel relaxed and comfortable.


At Viva Dental Victoria, we understand that fear of the dentist is very common and it can be difficult for many people to deal with. If you experience dental anxiety, please talk to us about sedation options for your dental appointments. We offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oral sedation as safe and effective ways to ensure your comfort and manage anxiety. We will do everything we can to calm your fears!


There are also many financial and practical aspects related to dental treatment. We know that some

patients may find it necessary to extend their treatment over a period of time. In these cases, we can endeavour to treat the highest priority issues first and provide a time schedule that is comfortable for you. Sometimes, due to financial constraints, we need to choose less expensive treatment options. However, these often involve some compromise in function, aesthetics, predictability, or longevity when compared to the recommended ideal treatment plan. Our goal is to make the final outcome a success!


At Viva Dental Victoria, we want you to have a positive experience and Look Forward to Seeing the Dentist!
