Are you concerned about the appearance of your smile? Many people are unhappy with one or more elements of the appearance of their teeth, ranging from issues such as uneven teeth to discolouration or overall tooth quality. These perceived imperfections can have a significant impact on a person’s self-confidence which can lead to a reluctance to show their teeth in social situations or photos and in some cases, a hesitation to smile openly and freely at all.
Your smile is one of the most recognisable features of your face and often draws the most attention. It is seen as an indication of your mood, sociability, and overall well-being. Unfortunately, more than half of Australians feel self-conscious about their teeth, according to the Australian Society of Orthodontics. This widespread concern is why many patients consider cosmetic dentistry treatments to enhance their smile and boost their self-esteem.
Cosmetic Dentistry Services
Boroondara Family Dentist in Balwyn North provides a variety of cosmetic dentistry solutions to address such common aesthetic flaws as crooked, broken, chipped, cracked, misshapen, or stained teeth.
Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are designed to cover the front surface of teeth. There are two common types of veneers available – composite veneers can be completed within a single appointment and don’t require any alterations to your teeth while porcelain veneers are bonded to the front of your teeth and require the tooth structure to be cut but are generally longer lasting and may provide a better overall result. Veneers are one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments for addressing a range of cosmetic issues, including discoloured teeth, chips, cracks, gaps, and misalignment.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening can help you achieve a brighter smile by assisting to remove stains and discoloration from your teeth. Various factors such as consumption of foods and drinks like coffee, tea, and red wine, smoking, ageing, and even certain medications can impact the appearance if your pearly whites over time, leading to yellowing or dull looking teeth. Our cosmetic dentists offer both in-clinic and take-home teeth whitening options to suit your lifestyle and preferences. Our professional treatments are more effective and longer lasting compared to over-the-counter products, helping you achieve a beautiful smile.
Dental Crowns & Bridges
Dental crowns and bridges are restorative treatments for repairing and replacing damaged or missing teeth, aiming to assist both functionality and aesthetic appeal. A dental crown covers broken teeth or teeth with significant decay, restoring their shape, size, strength, and appearance. Made from durable materials like porcelain or ceramic, crowns function like natural teeth. Dental bridges replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth or implants, preventing surrounding teeth from shifting and maintaining dental integrity. These treatments can provide reliable solutions for a healthier, more complete smile.
Teeth Straightening
Crooked teeth are one of the primary aesthetic concerns that many people have, but did you know that misaligned teeth can also impact your overall oral health? Teeth straightening can be achieved with different orthodontic treatment options depending on your age, lifestyle and aesthetic preferences. Our cosmetic dental services cover both traditional braces and clear braces such as Invisalign and we tailor your treatment plan to your individual needs and desired outcome.
