Cosmetic Dentistry

There are a number of ways to treat gaps in your smile, but your options will depend on the size of your gaps and the desired aesthetic results.

Invisible braces—Invisible braces, such as Invisalign, can fix a number of problems with your smile, including gapped or misaligned teeth. Treatment is quicker than with traditional braces, with most patients getting their desired results in time periods between six and 18 months.

For those patients who do not want to undergo orthodontic treatment, we offer:

Tooth bonding—If the gaps between your teeth are minor, tooth bonding might be able to give you the results you desire, and treatment can usually be provided in just one visit. Using the same material that is used for tooth-coloured fillings, the tooth-coloured resin material is bonded to the teeth using adhesives and a high-intensity curing light.

Dental veneers—These ultra-thin, translucent tooth covers camouflage a variety of problems with your smile, including teeth that are gapped, chipped, unevenly spaced or sized differently. Treatment of your natural teeth is required before application, so this is a permanent cosmetic option.

Dental implants— A single tooth implant can help close of that cap in your smile and provide a long term solution to your missing tooth/teeth. With implants we have a variety of options to replace multiple or single missing teeth giving you back your smile.

For more information about fixing gaps in your smile with cosmetic dentistry, we invite you to call our Katoomba, NSW dental surgery to book a consult.

There are many cosmetic dentistry options available today that can enhance the look of your smile.

• Invisalign clear braces—If your teeth are not aligned properly, you can get invisible braces to straighten them. Using clear plastic aligners, Invisalign treatment only takes on average about six to 18 months to straighten teeth.
• Porcelain veneers—If you are looking for more dramatic results, porcelain veneers can cover up many unattractive issues with your smile, including discolouration, gaps between teeth, fractures and chips, misalignment and size discrepancies. Many celebrity smiles you admire have likely been improved with porcelain veneers.
• Dental implants—If you are missing teeth, you can get one or more dental implant to restore your smile. Because they integrate into the jawbone, implants are permanent tooth replacements that also protect your bone health. Dental implants function most like your natural teeth. If you have dentures, you can get implant supported dentures to stabilize them for a more natural, comfortable experience.

You don’t have to go through life with a smile you are not happy about. Once thought reserved for the rich and famous, cosmetic dentistry today is more affordable and accessible than ever. Call our Katoomba, NSW surgery for more information on cosmetic dentistry.

Dental veneers in Katoomba are thin but strong strips of porcelain secured to the fronts of teeth.

The process involves removing a bit of tooth enamel for a flushed and natural-looking finish. Because of this enamel removal, we consider veneers permanent, meaning if you damage a veneer, it should be replaced to protect your tooth.

Dental veneers are a patient favourite because they can conceal many types of tooth flaws, including:

• Gummy smiles
• Slightly misaligned teeth
• Discolouration
• Tooth gaps or uneven spacing
• Worn-down teeth

With dental veneers, you can choose one veneer or many, depending on your specific smile goals.

Veneer care is simple because they brush and floss them along with your natural teeth. However, it’s also essential to visit your Katoomba dentist regularly for dental check-ups and professional teeth cleans.

Your veneers may last for many years with proper care and healthy habits. Your dentist will provide specific tips and advice based on your unique case.

For Dental Veneers in Katoomba, We Welcome Your Call

Dental veneers can work alone or as part of a smile makeover. If you’re ready to arrange a consultation or have questions for our friendly team, we encourage you to contact our dental clinic today.

Teeth whitening may be an excellent way to enhance your smile quickly. It is non-invasive and can be completed safely under the directions of your Katoomba dentist.

However, if you purchase a kit online, we can’t guarantee that the ingredients are safe for your teeth and gums. Some components can be harsh and abrasive. As a result, you can end up with tooth sensitivity or uneven and disappointing results.

Our dental office offers two options—in-chair teeth whitening with Zoom! and a special take-home kit customised to fit your teeth.

The in-chair option typically means faster results and is ideal if you have an event soon.

Our take-home option allows you to whiten your smile at your convenience. You can also touch up your teeth periodically, provided you follow the instructions given by our dental team.

We first bring you into our dental clinic for a consultation—especially if you are a new patient—to make sure whitening is safe for your smile. Then, your dentist will talk to you about what to expect following treatment.
