A very warm season's greetings! As the year comes to a close, we wanted to send you our very best wishes for the year ahead and thank you for your kind support in 2024! We truly are grateful for our lovely patients who have been so kind and supportive throughout the year – a very heartfelt thank you for making our year special! Thank you for all your support.

We will be closed for an extended period from 5pm Monday, December 23, 2024, and returning 7am Monday, January 6, 2025. We hope that you don’t need us during this time, though for dental emergencies during this period, please call us on (07) 3395 6944, and we will do our best to help. From all of us at Hello Smiles, we wish you and your family a very safe and relaxed holiday. Don't forget to show your teeth some love with regular brushing PLUS flossing!

 ✨ As the year comes to a close, we’re thrilled to share some exciting news! ✨ Today, we warmly welcome Dr Anina to the Hello Smiles team! With her warm and approachable nature, Dr Anina is dedicated to creating beautiful, confident smiles that last a lifetime. “My philosophy as a dentist is simple: I want my patients to leave feeling better about their dental health and smiling bigger than when they came in. ” To help get to know Dr. Anina, we asked her a few questions: ⚪️ What would you say is your dental philosophy? I believe in looking after all my patients with kindness, respect, and genuine care. My goal is to combine these values with advanced skills, staying up-to-date with the latest techniques, to provide high-quality, comfortable, and relaxed care for the entire family. After all, a healthy smile deserves a gentle, thoughtful approach! ⚪️ What is the one thing you would want patients to know about your work? Happiness is at the heart of everything I do. Whether it’s creating a comfortable and relaxed environment, keeping you informed every step of the way, or ensuring the highest quality care, my goal is to make you happy. A happy patient with a confident, healthy smile is the ultimate reward for my work. To find out more about Dr Anina, visit her profile on the 👋 Hello 😃 Smiles website.

Last Friday, Dr Sara and Tiana took some time out of their day to give a small talk to the Pre-Prep kids at Somerville House. It was a lovely day outside the practice and a great opportunity to meet so many friendly faces! Our talk covered all things teeth: what they’re made of, how many we have, what makes our teeth special, why brushing and flossing are important and how we look after our teeth! For some, a dental visit is a true phobia that can originate from an early age and stay for a long time. If we can be a positive, friendly voice and advocate for looking after our pearly whites, shape the way we all feel about a check-up and clean, and help create healthy habits from an early age, that’s a complete win in our book! A big thank you to the wonderful team at the Somerville Pre-Prep for letting us drop by and say hi! 👋 Now, for the all-important part of our talk: Fun Facts! 1. Teeth are the hardest part of the body. 2. 🦈 Sharks can have up to 3,000 teeth in their lifetime. 3. 🐊 Crocodiles can go through 8,000 teeth in their lifetime. 4. 🐌 A snail’s tooth is tiny, but they can have 20,000 of them!

A great smile is about more than just teeth — it’s about confidence. Dr Tristan is committed to providing care that makes you feel truly looked after. #dentist #dentistbrisbane

Game Day, Surgical Day! The ever-amazing Dr Tristan and Tiana, gearing-up in their blues for one of the most complex procedures in dentistry: a dental implant. Whilst the team is having fun in prep (and by the looks of it, potentially practicing 90s boy band moves 😂), performing a dental implant in no small feat. It requires years of training, a lot of careful planning and preparation, and on the day, exceptional precision and skill — It’s what dentists live for! So, what exactly is a dental implant, and why is it so special? 🤷♀️🤷♂️ This precise operation involves inserting a titanium post into the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth, providing a sturdy foundation for a replacement tooth or bridge. Implants are fantastic because they offer a stable and long-lasting solution for missing teeth. They help preserve jawbone integrity, restore the mouth’s natural function, enable natural chewing, and enhance aesthetics without compromising the surrounding teeth. From a dentist’s perspective, there’s nothing more rewarding than restoring functionality while ensuring the results look impeccable.

Dentistry is Dr Sara's passion, and she works really hard on making each patient’s experience as positive as possible. Dr Sara brings a warm and friendly approach to the practice, helping patients feel at ease and in control. Her focus on detail and a gentle touch seem to really help, especially for those who are a bit nervous about dental visits. As the principal dentist and owner of Hello Smiles, she is skilled in all areas of dentistry, but what she cares about most is the well-being of her patients. "I’m here to help them achieve not only great oral health but also a smile they can be proud of. When I set out to create Hello Smiles, I wanted to make sure that every aspect of the practice would make our patients feel comfortable and relaxed, turning the dental visit into a positive experience they look forward to". – Dentist Dr Sara TabriziHawthorne, Brisbane#bulimba #hawthorne #bulimbalocal #4171 #bulimbabusiness #brisbanekids #brisbanebusiness #bulimbamums #balmoral #brisbane #brisbanedentist #dentistbrisbane #brisbanemums #brisbanelocal #discoverbrisbane #dentistlife

Today, as the sun sets, we find ourselves at a moment of farewell, marking the end of a special chapter at Hello Smiles. We’re saying goodbye to Emily, our brightest spark, who has been with us since our early beginnings in 2017. Emily’s presence has been a gift. Her friendship, her spirit, and her heartfelt care for our patients have truly set her apart. She's made Hello Smiles more than just a place to work; she's made our practice a warmer, inviting place to be. Though it’s hard to say goodbye, we’re looking back with fondness on the wonderful journey we've shared. You will always hold a special place close to our heart and forever a part of the Hello Smiles family. We’re so excited for you as you embark on this next chapter as a pilates instructor. Knowing you, we’re sure you’ll be the top choice on the Gold Coast in no time – no pressure, though! 😄 A huge thank you for always giving your all, for the countless hours spent traveled to and from the Gold Coast, and for your support and friendship. Your efforts has been nothing short of inspirational and we will truly miss you.

Who says a dentist and a cookie maker can't be besties? Meet Sam, our friend, patient, and the artisan behind the best cookies you'll ever taste! Honestly, it's a fun puzzle - our job's to keep your teeth healthy, and her job is to bring joy ... and well, it involves a lot of sugar. But hey, we make it work! Just remember, enjoying cookies comes with a small catch - don't skip the brushing and flossing. 😄✨🍪🪥
