What is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Sometimes referred to as a smile makeover, cosmetic dentistry is the dental work performed to improve your teeth or bite (including gums). Cosmetic dentistry aims to improve the shape, position, size, color, alignment, and a number of your teeth.
The benefits of having cosmetic dentistry work are that it can improve your oral hygiene, how you eat, speak, smile and most importantly your confidence. With a new, beautiful smile, you’ll no doubt be showing it off more often.
Choosing the Right Cosmetic Dentistry for Your Dental Issues
There are several options available from a cosmetic dentist Melbourne so how do you decide what is the right cosmetic dental treatment for you? The only way to find out is for you is to book in with our cosmetic dentist Hawthorn who will perform a thorough dental assessment. Your cosmetic dentistry options can then be discussed and a plan made for your new smile. That’s something all our clients get excited about.
As experienced cosmetic dentists, we can offer the following options upon assessment.
- Veneers
- Dental Implants
- Invisalign
- Tooth Replacement
- Tooth Whitening
Some of the reasons you may need to see a cosmetic dentist in Melbourne are:
- Your teeth are crooked
- You chipped a tooth or your tooth is cracked
- You broke a tooth
- You lost a tooth
- Your teeth are worn
- You are missing a tooth/teeth
- Your teeth are discolored
- Your mouth is over-crowded with teeth
- You have a gummy smile
- Your bite needs fixing
If any of the above is what you are experiencing then we recommend you book in with our highly qualified cosmetic dentist immediately.
General Dentist or Cosmetic Dentist?
People visit a general dentist if they need advice around basic and preventive procedures. This may include checking on a toothache, being concerned about cavities, a dental check-up or oral hygiene plan. When it comes to the aesthetics of a smile, a cosmetic dentist is consulted. When you see a cosmetic dentist you’ll have a more qualified dentist who has completed additional studies to obtain further qualifications.
Dr. David Cao is your local cosmetic dentist Hawthorn. He is a member of the Australasian Academy of Dento-Facial Aesthetics and is a highly experienced cosmetic dentist with many years of experience in general dentistry. People seek him out as their preferred cosmetic dentist Melbourne.
Cosmetic Dentistry Consultations
Each cosmetic dental procedure and consultation process varies dependent on the type of procedure required. Because a lot of cosmetic dentistry is based on each person’s mouth, there are usually a few consultations. The reason for this is due to assessing the condition of your oral health and then the possibility of mouth molds and/or looking at the color of your teeth. Any replacement teeth or veneers are matched to that color. The starting point with all cosmetic dentistry Melbourne is as a general, thorough assessment and a plan based on the outcome.
