A chipped front tooth, a gap you’ve never warmed to, teeth that have darkened over the years: the things we’d change about our own smiles tend to be the things we notice in every photo. Cosmetic dentistry is about those details.
Planning a special occasion or want to simply brighten your smile?
As a cosmetic dentist in Box Hill, we offer a range of cosmetic treatments. Not sure where to start? An initial free consultation is a chance to sit down, talk through what’s bothering you and find out what’s realistic.
Veneers are thin shells fitted over the front of a tooth to change its shape, colour or alignment. We offer dental veneers in Box Hill in both composite and porcelain. Composite veneers are built up onto the tooth in a single visit and cost less. Porcelain veneers are made in a lab and are harder-wearing. Which one suits comes down to what you're changing and your budget, and we'll go through the trade-offs at your consultation.
We offer teeth whitening in Box Hill two ways. In-chair Zoom whitening is done in a single visit. The take-home Zoom kit lets you whiten gradually at home, at your own pace. Whitening lightens staining on natural teeth; it won't change the colour of existing fillings, crowns or veneers, which is something we'll factor in if you've had other work done.
Bonding uses tooth-coloured composite to repair a chip, close a small gap or reshape a tooth, usually in one appointment. It's one of the more conservative options, because it adds to the tooth rather than removing much of the natural surface.
A crown caps a tooth that's damaged or heavily filled, rebuilding its shape and protecting what's left. We colour-match crowns to the teeth around them.
If you’re thinking about more than one treatment, a smile makeover pulls them into a single plan. We’ll map out the order, the cost and the time involved up front, and give you an honest read on what each option can and can’t achieve. Our team speaks English, Mandarin and Spanish, so you can talk it through in the language you’re most comfortable in.
Your makeover consultation is complimentary, with X-rays charged separately, and there’s no pressure to go ahead until you’re ready.
We claim your private health fund on the spot through HICAPS, and we accept eligible government schemes including the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA). At your consultation, we’ll go through the full cost of any cosmetic treatment, and the ways you can pay for it, so nothing comes as a surprise later.
Some cosmetic treatments do more than change how a tooth looks. Rebuilding a worn, cracked or heavily filled tooth can restore its structure, support how you bite and chew, and address damage that’s affecting how you eat or speak. That’s part of why cosmetic work is a decision rather than a quick fix.
Results, recovery times and risks vary from one person and one procedure to the next, and every dental treatment carries some risk. We’ll go through limitations and the alternatives for your situation at your consultation. Before going ahead with any cosmetic or dental treatment, we’d encourage you to:
