What is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry focuses on enhancing the appearance of your teeth, gums, and smile. It includes treatments designed to address concerns such as discolouration, misalignment, chips, gaps, and other aesthetic imperfections. While primarily aimed at improving appearance, many procedures also contribute to better dental function and long-term oral health.

Your Personalised Treatment Plan

At Mid North Coast Dental Centres, we recognise that every smile is unique. That’s why we start with a thorough examination to evaluate your dental health and discuss your goals. From there, we’ll craft a personalised treatment plan to help you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted.

With 22% of Australians choosing to whiten their teeth, the demand for professional teeth whitening continues to grow. Mid North Coast Dental Centre offers advanced teeth whitening options aimed at safely and effectively brightening your natural teeth.

Our experienced cosmetic dentists create personalised treatment plans to address all types of tooth stains ( those on the surface and those deeper within). We use high-quality materials and the latest techniques to provide a comfortable, minimally invasive approach that results in a radiant, youthful smile. Trust our dental clinic for a teeth whitening experience that prioritises comfort while delivering confident and beautiful smiles.

Our Teeth Whitening Treatment Options

We provide two options for teeth whitening. Both are designed to fit seamlessly into your routine and deliver professional results:

  • In-Chair Whitening Treatment: This one-hour treatment is perfect for those seeking immediate, noticeable results. It uses advanced whitening technology and professional-grade solutions to deliver a visibly brighter, whiter smile in a single session.
  • Take-Home Whitening Kits: For a more flexible approach, our take-home whitening kits let you achieve a gradually brighter smile on your schedule. Each kit includes custom-made trays and professional-strength whitening gel. These trays are made from either impressions or digital scans.

 

Each option is designed to deliver a brighter, confident smile with the reassurance of high-quality materials and expert guidance.

Dental veneers are custom-made, thin shells crafted to cover the front surface of teeth, offering a seamless, natural-looking solution to a range of cosmetic issues. Veneers can effectively resolve issues like chips, cracks, persistent stains, small or unevenly shaped teeth, and minor gaps. They are perfect for individuals seeking a more uniform and brighter smile.

Made from porcelain or composite resin, veneers are popular for enhancing aesthetics and smile makeovers without significantly altering the tooth’s structure. However, they are best suited to those with healthy teeth and gums. Any issues like decay or gum disease should be addressed first.

Different Types of Veneers

Here’s an overview of the most common options:

  • Composite Veneers: Ideal for covering mild imperfections such as small chips or discolouration. They are applied directly to the teeth and are minimally invasive. They’re also typically more affordable, although they may not be as durable as other types.
  • Porcelain Veneers Offer a long-lasting solution for addressing a range of cosmetic issues, from uneven teeth to deep stains and gaps. The procedure removes a thin layer of enamel to bond securely to the tooth, providing a natural and durable appearance. With proper care, porcelain veneers can last for many years.
  • No-Prep Veneers: No-prep or minimal-prep veneers offer a less invasive option for those seeking dental enhancements. Compared to traditional porcelain veneers, they also require minimal enamel removal.

Benefits of Dental Veneers

Dental veneers are an ideal choice for anyone looking to elevate their smile with beautiful, natural-looking, and durable results that will last years. Here are some key benefits:

  • Aesthetic Improvement: Veneers can significantly improve the appearance of teeth. They can address issues such as discolouration, minor gaps, and chips to create a more balanced, polished appearance.
  • Seamless Integration: Crafted to match the shade and shape of your natural teeth, veneers provide a realistic finish that blends effortlessly with your smile.
  • Stain Resistance: Porcelain Veneers resist stains from food and drink better than natural enamel, keeping your teeth whiter for longer.
  • Longevity: With proper care, veneers can last up to 10–15 years. It’s a durable and worthwhile investment for a confident smile.

Dental crowns are essential for restoring teeth compromised by decay or damage. Crafted from high-quality materials like porcelain or metal, crowns fit securely over a damaged tooth. Ideal for treating weakened, broken, or root-canal-treated teeth, crowns provide long-lasting protection and improved function.

Made from porcelain or composite resin, veneers are popular for enhancing aesthetics and smile makeovers without significantly altering the tooth’s structure. However, they are best suited to those with healthy teeth and gums. Any issues like decay or gum disease should be addressed first.

Dental Crown Procedure

The process begins with a thorough consultation and examination to assess the affected tooth.

  1. Tooth Preparation: The dentist prepares the tooth by removing a portion of the natural enamel to create space for the crown.
  2. Impressions: Impressions of the tooth are taken, either digitally or with a putty-like material, and sent to a dental lab to create a custom crown.
  3. Temporary Crown: A temporary crown is placed while your permanent crown is crafted in the lab.
  4. Final Placement: During a follow-up visit, the temporary crown is removed. The custom crown is checked for fit, colour, and comfort before being permanently bonded.

 

The result is a durable, natural-looking restoration that enhances function and appearance.

clear aligner

Straighten your teeth discreetly and comfortably with clear aligner, perfect for both teens and adults looking to improve their smile alignment. Approximately 40,000 Australians use clear aligner therapy for teeth straightening annually. This modern alternative to traditional braces offers a nearly invisible way to correct misaligned teeth. Designed for convenience, clear aligners are removable, allowing you to eat, drink, and brush with ease.

Benefits of Clear Aligners

Clear aligners offer a range of advantages that make them a popular choice for achieving a straighter smile. Here are some key benefits:

  • Discreet Appearance: Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners are virtually invisible. This makes them ideal for those who want to straighten their teeth without the noticeable look of metal brackets.
  • Freedom to Eat: Since clear aligners are removable, you can enjoy all your favourite foods without restrictions. Unlike braces, you don’t need to avoid hard or crunchy foods.
  • Easy Oral Hygiene: Clear aligners make maintaining good oral hygiene simple. You can remove them to brush and floss your teeth as you normally would, reducing the risk of plaque buildup and gum issues.
  • Custom Comfort: Clear aligners are custom-made to fit your mouth, ensuring a smooth and comfortable experience. While you might feel slight pressure when switching to a new set of aligners, it’s minimal compared to the discomfort often associated with traditional braces.
  • Achieve a Healthy, Straight Smile: With consistent use, clear aligners help you achieve a beautifully aligned smile and improved oral health, boosting your confidence and overall well-being.

A Snap-On Smile is a removable device that fits over your teeth, instantly enhancing your smile for special occasions or daily wear. It provides an accessible, non-invasive option to achieve a flawless smile.

Why Choose a Snap-On Smile?

  • Non-Invasive: No drilling or tooth preparation is required, making it a pain-free option.
  • Removable: The appliance can be easily removed for eating and cleaning.
  • Aesthetic Benefits: Snap-On Smiles can address gaps, crooked teeth, or stains, providing an instant confidence boost.

Snap-On-Smile Procedure

  1. Consultation: Your journey begins with an initial consultation with the dentist, during which you discuss your smile goals. You’ll explore options for the shade and shape of your new smile, and the dentist will determine if a Snap-On Smile is the right solution for you.
  2. Impression Taking: Once you proceed, the dentist will take precise impressions of your teeth either digitally or with a putty-like material. These impressions are used to create a mould that serves as the foundation for your custom appliance.
  3. Lab Fabrication: The impressions are sent to a dental lab, where skilled technicians design and fabricate your Snap-On Smile. This step ensures the appliance is tailored to fit comfortably and meet your aesthetic preferences.
  4. Fitting Appointment: In your final visit, the dentist will fit the Snap-On Smile, ensuring it looks natural and fits securely. Any necessary adjustments are made to achieve optimal comfort and appearance.
gum contouring

Reshape your gum line to enhance the symmetry of your smile and address a “gummy appearance,” creating a more balanced and confident look. Gum contouring is an effective solution for those seeking to reduce excessive gum display and improve their smile’s aesthetics.

Benefits of Gum Contouring

Gum contouring offers transformative benefits, making it a popular choice for achieving a confident, balanced smile:

  • Enhanced Smile Aesthetics: Reduces excessive gum display and creates a more symmetrical, attractive gum line.
  • Improved Confidence: This treatment helps you feel more self-assured about your smile.
  • Non-Invasive and Precise: Laser technology ensures minimal discomfort, no stitches, and faster recovery than traditional methods.
  • Customised Results: Tailored to your unique facial features, delivering a smile that complements your natural look.
  • Permanent Transformation: Once completed, the results are long-lasting, improving your smile permanently.
