Are You Ready for a Smile Transformation?

Cosmetic Dentistry in Lower Plenty

Couple camping | cosmetic dentist 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

couple smiling | cosmetic dentist lower plenty 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.

We invite you to contact your cosmetic dentist in Lower Plenty at St George's Dental to learn more about what's possible for your smile.

How long does composite bonding last?

Composite bonding can last anywhere from up to seven to 15 years, depending on how you care for your smile. Here are some tips for making the most of your composite bonding in Lower Plenty.

Commit to Consistent Home Care

Taking good care of your smile with consistent daily brushing and flossing protects you from the damage plaque buildup can cause.

Using an electric toothbrush makes brushing simple and effective, and adding an antibacterial mouth rinse to your routine can help prevent plaque and bacteria buildup.

Routine Preventive Check-Ups with Your Lower Plenty Dentist

Regular visits to your dentist will allow them to detect any problems with your dental bonding early on when they are easier to repair. Composite bonding may wear over time and could be repaired or replaced to promote longevity.

Avoid Damaging Foods

Biting directly into hard foods like apples, crusty bread, or carrots can damage your bonding, causing it to chip or break. Instead, cut hard foods into smaller pieces that are easier to chew and enjoy and protect your teeth from damage.
