Meet Dr Livia De Haan (Dentist)
General Dentist With a Focus on Orthodontics and Facial Aesthetics
Trusted Care Backed by Decades of Experience
Dr Livia De Haan brings more than 28 years of clinical experience to Epping Family Dental, offering a calm, knowledgeable presence and a clear focus on family-first dental care. Patients of all ages appreciate her gentle chairside manner and personalised approach, particularly those who feel anxious about dental visits.
Her extensive background in orthodontics and facial aesthetics allows her to support both function and appearance, with options ranging from early orthodontic assessments for kids to discreet Invisalign® clear aligners for adults.
Born and trained in Brazil, Dr Livia completed her Bachelor of Dental Surgery at the University of Rio de Janeiro before pursuing dual postgraduate certifications in Paediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics. For seven years, she operated her own clinic before relocating to Australia in 2004. She now sees patients in Epping while continuing to oversee her practice.
Dr Livia is a member of several organisations, including the American Association of Orthodontics, the Brazilian Society of Orthodontics, the World Federation of Orthodontics, and the Australian Association of Facial Aesthetics.
Helping Kids and Adults Smile With Confidence
A firm believer in preventative dentistry, Dr Livia pays close attention to early signs of misalignment in children’s teeth and jaws. Her goal? To help young patients grow into their smiles with minimal intervention and maximum confidence.
She encourages parents to book their child’s first orthodontic evaluation between the ages of nine and ten, an ideal window for detecting patterns such as:
- Crowded or gapped teeth
- Protruding front teeth
- Crossbite, underbite, or open bite
- Mouth breathing or tongue thrusting
- Delayed or early loss of baby teeth
- Speech development concerns
Early assessment can lead to fewer complications later in life by minimising the need for more complex procedures in the future. With proactive care, issues like airway dysfunction or bite misalignment may be addressed without braces or surgery.
Book an orthodontic consultation with Dr. Livia to ensure your child’s smile is developing on the right track.

Why Facial Aesthetics Matter to Your Smile
Facial harmony plays a significant role in how we feel about ourselves. Dr Livia offers facial injectables as part of her cosmetic dentistry suite, helping patients smooth lines, enhance symmetry, and feel great about their appearance. When provided by a skilled dental clinician, these services align naturally with dental goals and overall wellness.
Patients who want to combine orthodontics with facial enhancements find Dr Livia’s inclusive style of care reassuring and easy to navigate.
Life Away From the Dental Chair
When she’s not treating patients, Dr Livia enjoys tennis, reading, bushwalks, and spending time with her two children. You’ll often find her at the beach playing frescobol, a Brazilian paddle game that’s as fun as it is fast-paced.
