Peter Vaughan Orthodontist

Welcome to Live Life Smiling, the premier dental clinic in Newcastle, Australia. Located in the heart of Broadmeadow on Lambton Road, our dedicated team of orthodontists and dentists have been providing exceptional dental care to the Newcastle community and the Hunter Valley for decades. Our mission is simple - to treat each patient with the same care and respect that we would want for ourselves.

At Live Life Smiling, we pride ourselves on our excellent reputation in Newcastle for offering comprehensive treatment options combined with a warm and friendly approach. Our specialist orthodontist and principal, Associate Professor Peter Vaughan, has been recognized as a leader in his field, giving lectures and presentations at national and international orthodontic conferences. He has also been appointed as an Associate Professor of Orthodontics at James Cook University, a testament to his expertise and dedication.

With over 30 years of experience, Professor Vaughan has built a reputation for providing ethical and honest treatment options at affordable prices. He believes in minimizing extractions whenever possible, ensuring that each patient receives the most comfortable and effective treatment possible. Our goal is not only to create beautifully straight smiles but also to align your bite properly, ensuring long-term oral health.

As the only orthodontist in Newcastle to be recognized by his industry peers as a leader, Professor Vaughan offers treatments and options that other less experienced orthodontists may not. We provide a complete range of affordable dental services, including bridges, clear aligners, crowns, dentures, teeth extractions, emergency dentistry, fillings, children's dentistry, Invisalign, laser dentistry, solutions for missing teeth, orthodontics and braces, preventative dentistry, root canal therapy, teeth whitening, veneers, and wisdom teeth extractions.

At Live Life Smiling, we understand the importance of regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings. Depending on your oral health needs, we recommend a check-up every 6 to 12 months. Our experienced team will assess your individual situation and provide personalized recommendations for your dental care. We also offer professional teeth cleanings, which help to keep your teeth and gums healthy by removing plaque and tartar buildup. The frequency of cleanings may vary depending on your specific oral health conditions.

We are committed to making your dental visit as comfortable and stress-free as possible. We understand that dental anxiety is common, and we employ various strategies to ease your worries. Our friendly staff will take the time to understand your concerns and address them with care and compassion.

For parents, we believe that early dental visits are crucial for establishing good oral health habits. The Australian Dental Association recommends that a child's first dental visit should occur when their first tooth becomes visible or when they reach 12 months of age. This initial visit not only addresses their oral health needs but also helps them become familiar with the dental clinic environment, reducing anxiety and fear as they grow older.
