Cosmetic Dental Treatment in Brighton, Brisbane
If one thing unites us all, regardless of age, sex, race, body shape or anything else, it is the power of a smile. It can convey happiness, comfort, encouragement, affection, camaraderie and a dozen or more other unspoken emotions.
Yet thousands of people feel self-conscious about smiling in public due to issues with teeth that cosmetic dentistry could resolve once and for all. Rediscovering your smile and being comfortable sharing it without reserve can be life-changing in terms of its impact on your self-confidence and overall well-being.
More Than Just Looking Good
Cosmetic dentists can deal with crooked, stained or chipped teeth to give you a smile that you are happy to share. But our cosmetic dental clinic work is not just about looking good. Even if you don’t do it consciously, the chances are you’ll try to keep your teeth concealed if they are imperfect, the same as you look away from someone when speaking to them if you know your breath is not at its most fresh.
That can convey a message that is far from what you intend. If you’re constantly looking away, covering your mouth with your hand, or keeping a lips-sealed “poker face,” it can make you appear aloof, stand-offish, or even evasive. There’s also the fact that right or wrong; people judge others on appearance. They might not do it consciously, but the reality is that if you greet someone with a genuine smile that shows white, even teeth, it is easier to establish trust and create a good impression in both business and social settings.

Our Main Cosmetic Dentistry Services
We offer full dental services in Brisbane and to those living near our practice and surrounding suburbs of North East Brisbane, such as Brighton, Margate, Sandgate, Fitzgibbon.
Our patients have come into our practice almost disgusted with their smile and appearance and are left feeling confident with an increased desire to smile. Below are the common cosmetic dentistry options available, with additional evasive procedures such as dental surgery options.
Cosmetic Teeth Whitening Services
Most patients who approach us for teeth whitening services are concerned about their appearance for a special event. This could be a graduation, an individual job interview or a wedding where having that sparkling appearance could greatly enhance their chances of leaving a notable impression.
For those that choose an in-house teeth whitening procedure, we use the Philips Zoom Teeth Whitening System, which can be completed within a 90-minute appointment and can even whiten teeth up to eight shades lighter.
Porcelain Veneers
Creating a perfect smile and removing heavily stained teeth might not be possible with teeth whitening; you may require something more permanent and durable. For patients in this situation, we recommend long-lasting porcelain veneers, which protect your teeth with a shell strongly bonded to the front of your teeth, giving patients an instant cosmetic transformation in their smiles.
Dental Crowns
A Tooth crown or Dental crowns are fitted on teeth that are permanently damaged, perhaps chipped, or lost shape over time. A porcelain crown is then fitted over the existing tooth to improve its shape and appearance, evening out any dental irregularities that the patient might have.
Dental Bridges
Dental Bridges are another type of cap that is added to a patient’s teeth, but in this case, a dental bridge is used when there is a missing tooth in the patient’s mouth. Patients, who might have lost a single tooth, can cosmetically change their appearance by choosing a dental bridge hiding the missing tooth.

FAQ Related to Cosmetic Dentistry
What is Cosmetic Dental Bonding?
Dental bonding is a dental cosmetic procedure in which tooth-coloured composite resin is used to repair chips and cracks in a tooth. It can also be used to subtly change the shape or close out any gaps. Dental bonding is completely reversible, so there is nothing to lose in giving it a go.
Why do my Teeth Become Discoloured?
There are various reasons that teeth can become stained and discoloured over time. Drinking tea, coffee and red wine are common culprits, and so is smoking. But some people do none of those things and still get discolouration. The good news is there are various effective whitening treatments available.
Does Cosmetic Dentistry hurt?
No, one of the cosmetic dentistry procedures are painful. Every treatment is different; some might cause sensitivity or short-term discomfort, but you will never be expected to sit and tolerate pain. If you are worried about this, there’s no need to be embarrassed, it is the most common question we get, and the dentist will always be happy to explain how we keep any discomfort to a minimum.
Is Cosmetic Dentistry Worth It?
That is a very subjective question. In our experience, most people agree that the cosmetic dentistry procedures they had done were well worth it. As well as correcting minor dental issues like cracks, which could escalate in time, cosmetic dentistry can profoundly improve a person’s confidence. A bright, even smile is one thing, but the self-esteem that comes with sharing that smile is absolutely priceless.
How Much Can Cosmetic Dentistry Cost in Brisbane?
The cost of cosmetic dentistry depends on the type of dentistry your teeth require to enhance your smile. If, for instance, your teeth are all present and you don’t need any orthodontics to ensure you have a straight smile, then you’ll only need teeth whitening, which will cost around $550 per session at our practice.
However, if your teeth are more evasive, you might consider using porcelain veneers as part of cosmetic dentistry. The cost of veneers can vary depending on a few different factors. One of the biggest factors is the type of veneers chosen. Porcelain veneers are typically more expensive than composite veneers but also tend to be more durable and natural-looking. The number of teeth being treated can also impact the cost, as getting veneers on multiple teeth will be more expensive than just getting one or two. On average, the cost of veneers in Brisbane can range from $800 to $2500 per tooth.
In addition to using veneers and teeth whitening to enhance your teeth, you might consider dental crowns and dental bridges, both of which will cost a range of $1800 to $3000 per procedure.
Although the cost of cosmetic dential treatments may appear high, it’s essential to remember that these procedures will give you a desirable friendly smile that will create positive attraction in work and all environments.
