Dental FAQs From Patients in Sydney CBD

Your Dental FAQs, Answered by Vivaldi Smile Artisans

Have questions about your smile, your next visit, or a treatment you have been considering? You are in the right place. At Vivaldi Smile Artisans, we believe that informed patients make confident decisions. Our dental FAQs page brings together the questions we hear most often in our Sydney CBD practice, so you can get the answers you need before you even walk through the door. Whether you are new to our boutique dental practice or a long-time patient, we hope this helps you feel at ease.

Where is Vivaldi Smile Artisans located?

We are conveniently located at Shop 102/161 Clarence Street, Sydney NSW 2000, right in the heart of the Sydney CBD. We welcome patients from across the city and surrounding suburbs.

What languages does your team speak?

Our team speaks English, Spanish, and Portuguese, so we can make you feel comfortable and understood no matter your background.

What payment options do you accept?

We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, and offer in-house financing to help make your care as accessible as possible. We also accept all Australian health insurance funds. If you have questions about your cover, contact us and we will help you sort it out before your appointment.

What cosmetic treatments do you offer?

We offer a wide range of cosmetic services including porcelain veneers, teeth whitening (both Zoom in-chair and take-home trays), dental bonding, smile makeovers, enamel shaping, and even cosmetic injectables such as anti-wrinkle treatments. If you are dreaming of a new smile, we can help you get there.

How long does teeth whitening take?

Zoom in-chair whitening typically takes around 90 minutes and delivers noticeable results in a single visit. Take-home trays are worn over a period of one to two weeks and offer a more gradual brightening at your own pace.

Are veneers permanent?

Veneers are considered a long-term cosmetic solution and do involve a small amount of irreversible enamel preparation. With proper care, quality veneers can last ten years or more. Our team will walk you through everything during your consultation so you can make a fully informed choice.

Do you offer Invisalign?

Yes, we are an Invisalign provider and offer treatment for both adults and teenagers. We also work with Angel Aligner and use Dental Monitoring technology to track your progress remotely, so your treatment is both convenient and closely supervised.

How long does Invisalign take?

Treatment length varies depending on the complexity of your case. Minor corrections may take as little as six months, while more involved cases can take 12 to 18 months or longer. We will give you a clearer timeline after your initial assessment.

How often should I visit the dentist?

For most patients, we recommend a check-up and professional clean every six months. Some patients with gum concerns or a higher risk of decay may benefit from more frequent visits. Your dentist will recommend a recall schedule that suits your individual needs.

Do you treat children?

Yes, we offer a range of paediatric dental services including preventive care, pit and fissure sealants, nitrous oxide for anxious little ones, interceptive orthodontics, and space maintainers. We love helping young patients build positive habits early.

What should I do in a dental emergency?

If you are experiencing a dental emergency such as a knocked-out tooth, severe toothache, or a broken tooth, please contact us as soon as possible. We will do our best to see you promptly and provide the care you need.

What technology do you use at your practice?

Our practice is equipped with cone beam 3D imaging, digital X-rays, an iTero Scanner for digital impressions, intraoral cameras, laser therapy, and air abrasion dentistry, among other modern tools. We are committed to providing care that is precise, comfortable, and as minimally invasive as possible.

Do you offer sedation for anxious patients?

Yes. We understand that dental anxiety is very real, and we offer sedation dentistry options to help you feel calm and comfortable throughout your visit. Please mention any concerns when you book so we can prepare accordingly.
