Cosmetic Dentistry in Lower Plenty
Are there aspects of your smile that you'd like to change? Cosmetic dentistry in Lower Plenty may be the ideal solution to help you achieve a smile you'll be proud of.
At St George's Dental, our dentists have helped hundreds of patients achieve their best smiles, and we have the skills and expertise to help you. We work closely with our patients, listening to their needs to understand their goals for their smiles.
Benefits Beyond Aesthetics
The benefits of a beautiful smile go way beyond aesthetics only. Here are some other advantages cosmetic dentistry offers:
- Better oral health: When you have teeth that are correctly aligned, it's easier to maintain your flossing and brushing routine, which lessens your risk of developing problems like gum disease and tooth decay.
- Enhanced self-confidence: When you have a beautiful smile, you can feel confident about smiling and interacting with others, which may improve your personal and professional relationships.
- Improved bite function: When your bite is aligned correctly, you can chew easily, and it helps you avoid painful problems with your jaw joint.
We customise treatment plans based on each patient's unique needs. Here's more information about some of the cosmetic dental procedures our dentists may recommend.
Porcelain Crowns or Veneers
A dental veneer is a thin layer of porcelain covering your tooth's front surface, while a porcelain crown covers a damaged, broken, or misshapen tooth entirely. Our dentists customise the porcelain restorations to blend into and enhance your smile seamlessly.
Veneers and crowns repair damaged teeth and cover stained or oddly shaped teeth to add a more symmetrical, uniform appearance to your smile.
Composite Bonding
Our dentists can repair a lot of the same smile flaws with bonding that they can fix with veneers, such as:
- Gaps between teeth
- Broken or chipped teeth
- Teeth with excessive wear
- Stained or discoloured teeth
- Oddly shaped teeth
- Teeth with size discrepancies
Dental bonding adds customisable composite resin material to your tooth to eliminate smile imperfections. Our dentists can typically complete this treatment in one appointment, which tends to be less expensive than porcelain veneers.
Dental Implants and All-on-X
Dental implants restore single missing teeth, while all-on-x uses two to six implants to support a denture, which replaces an entire arch of teeth. Our T24 (teeth in 24 hours) concept uses the all-on-x procedure to ensure you don't have to live without your teeth.
Professional Teeth Whitening
At St George's Dental, we offer three convenient options for removing tooth stains and discolouration and brightening your smile:
- In-chair teeth whitening – Done within 90 minutes in our dental clinic.
- Take-home teeth whitening – A customised take-home system you'll complete in 10 to 14 days.
- Disposable take-home whitening – A self-mouldable plastic whitening tray you can use at home.
