Cosmetic dental treatments aim to change the appearance of teeth or gums. Options can include whitening, bonding, veneers and orthodontic treatment, depending on your concerns and clinical assessment.
Cosmetic treatment is a personal choice and is not always necessary for oral health. Your dentist will explain expected changes, risks, limitations, recovery, costs and alternatives, including no treatment. Contact Sydney CBD Dentistry on (02) 8090 1105 to ask about an appointment.
The term smile makeover can describe a combination of dental treatments. It is not a single standard procedure. Each proposed treatment needs its own assessment, explanation of risks and informed consent.
Your plan may involve irreversible tooth preparation or surgery. Discuss which changes are appropriate, which are optional, and whether a more conservative approach or no treatment would meet your needs.
Fees depend on the proposed treatment and your needs. Ask for an individual written estimate, including investigations, follow-up and potential maintenance or replacement costs.
Teeth whitening may lighten some natural-tooth stains but does not whiten existing fillings, crowns or veneers. Sensitivity and gum irritation can occur. Results and treatment duration vary. Ask about suitability and fees for in-chair or prescribed take-home care.
Composite veneers and porcelain veneers can change tooth appearance. They can chip, stain, fracture or debond and may require replacement. Preparation may be irreversible and can cause sensitivity or nerve problems. Alternatives may include whitening, orthodontics or no treatment.
Dental implants can support replacement teeth in suitable patients. Treatment involves surgery, healing and risks including infection, nerve injury and failure. Bridges, dentures or no replacement may be alternatives. Ask about costs, maintenance and recovery.
Clear aligners move teeth and require regular wear, review and later retainers. Risks include discomfort, gum problems, decay and incomplete movement. Braces, specialist assessment or no treatment may be appropriate alternatives. Treatment time and fees vary.
