Cosmetic Dentistry
Treatments that address the appearance of the teeth and gums, planned alongside your oral health.
Overview
Cosmetic dentistry covers treatments that change the appearance of the teeth and gums. Any aesthetic treatment is planned only after existing decay, gum disease or bite problems have been assessed.
What is achievable varies between patients, and the options suited to your teeth are discussed during consultation.
Create a Smile You Feel Confident About
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on enhancing the appearance of your smile while keeping results looking natural and proportionate to your facial features. Common concerns addressed include tooth colour, shape, size, spacing, and wear caused by age or habit.
A smile makeover is a customised combination of cosmetic and restorative treatments—such as veneers, bonding, whitening, or reshaping—designed around your individual dental condition, facial structure, and desired outcome, so the final result complements the rest of your smile.
Popular cosmetic options
- Porcelain or composite veneers to reshape and brighten front teeth
- Dental bonding for minor chips, gaps, or irregularities
- Reshaping and contouring to improve tooth proportion and symmetry
- Combination treatment plans for a complete, natural-looking smile transformation
A consultation helps determine which combination of treatments will best achieve the look you want while maintaining long-term oral health.
How aesthetic treatment is planned
Treatment begins with an examination of your teeth, gums and bite, along with a discussion of what you would like to change. Options, sequence and maintenance are then explained before anything is started.
Cosmetic Dentistry — treatment options
Which option is suitable depends on your clinical examination and is discussed with you before treatment begins.
