What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry is all about helping you achieve that smile you’ve always dreamed of. Whether it’s teeth whitening, veneers, or dental implants, cosmetic dentistry covers a variety of dental treatments aimed at improving the appearance and functionality of your teeth while giving you a complete smile makeover. Cosmetic dental solutions can address issues like discolouration, teeth gaps, misalignment and much more!

Benefits Of Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic Dentistry at Port Melbourne Dental offers a wide range of benefits:

• Enhanced Aesthetics
  Cosmetic dentistry can correct various visible issues, including stained, discoloured, misaligned or misshapen teeth.
• Natural-Looking Results
  Our modern dentistry techniques and materials produce natural-looking results that blend seamlessly with your existing teeth.
• Functional Improvements
  Many cosmetic treatments like dental crowns, implants and orthodontic treatments can improve the functionality of your teeth. Dental crowns can strengthen weakened teeth and orthodontic treatments can correct problems with your bite reducing your risk of decay and infections.
• Versatility
  Cosmetic dentistry includes a wide range of treatments from teeth whitening to complete smile makeovers, giving you many options to choose from.
• Long-Lasting Solutions
  Many cosmetic treatments like dental implants and veneers are durable and with the right care can provide results that last many years.
• Boosts Confidence
  Cosmetic dentistry can boost your confidence by giving you a functional aesthetically pleasing smile.
• Improved Oral Health
  Cosmetic dentistry isn’t just about transforming your smile as it can also improve your oral health. For instance, correcting misaligned teeth with clear aligners can prevent problems like TMJ Disorder and replacing missing teeth with implants can prevent the adjacent teeth from shifting and tilting into gaps.

COSMETIC DENTISTRY SERVICES AT PMD DENTAL

DENTAL IMPLANTS

Dental implants work wonders for restoring missing gaps in your smile. Made from titanium, these implants are surgically placed into the jawbone to fuse with it and form a strong foundation to support the prosthetic tooth placed onto the fixture.

The speciality about implants is that they not only look like your real teeth but also mimic the tooth roots, This helps keep your facial structure and jawbone density intact. You’ll be able to speak and chew effortlessly and the renewed confidence from your restored smile will make social interactions a breeze. With proper upkeep, our dental implants are designed to last between 15 to 25 years.

Our dental crowns (your prosthetic teeth secured to the implant) are made of high-grade porcelain and zirconia (lava, German). All Prosthesis used at Port Melbourne Dental are fabricated locally at Seaside Dental Studio, including complex and angled implants that are fabricated at Osteon Medical and Atlantis (Sweden)

To be eligible for dental implants, you must:

• Have adequate bone density and volume
• Meet general medical requirements
• Practise good oral hygiene
• Quit smoking
• Have good gum health

A consultation is required to determine assess whether dental implants are the best option for you. Our dentist will assess your bone density using X-rays and in-chair examinations. If you have inadequate bone density, we may recommend additional treatments like a bone graft before dental implants.

Cosmetic Dental Veneers

Have you ever wondered how celebrities get their Hollywood smiles? The answer is porcelain veneers. With our cosmetic dentistry treatments in Port Melbourne, you can also get a Hollywood-worthy smile and flaunt your pearly whites freely.

Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells made from porcelain. They are bonded to the front of your tooth to improve discoloured, chipped or crooked teeth and improve the appearance of your smile without the need for whitening or braces.

At Port Melbourne Dental, all our porcelain veneers are fabricated with the finest quality porcelain material and are fully Australian-made at our local laboratories, Seaside Dental Laboratories and Siida Laboratory.

You may be a candidate for veneers if you have:

• Slightly crooked teeth or have spaces between your teeth and do not want braces
• Have naturally / genetically small or irregularly shaped teeth that you wish to make larger, wider or longer
• Discoloured teeth from trauma, root canal treatment or general staining
• Minor chips or wear.
• Minor gaps or spaces between teeth.

In addition, it’s also important to have healthy teeth and gums, good oral hygiene and good overall health to be a candidate for dental veneers.

Emax Porcelain Veneers and Maryland Bridges

These cosmetic dentistry solutions are commonly used to replace congenitally missing teeth in young mouths that are not ready for final implants and crown restorations until age 21.

Emax porcelain veneers are thin shells of high-quality porcelain that are custom-made to cover the front surface of teeth. They are known for their durability, natural appearance and stain resistance.

Maryland bridges are used to replace missing teeth. They consist of a pontic (false tooth) held in place by metal or porcelain that is bonded to the adjacent natural teeth. They don’t require the removal of much tooth structure compared to traditional bridges, helping preserve the natural tooth structure of adjacent teeth.

Porcelain Inlay and Onlay Restorations

Porcelain inlays are an indirect restoration (filling) made of a solid porcelain substance. This is fitted to a cavity in a tooth and cemented into place. Inlays involve fabricating the restoration outside of the mouth using the dental impressions of the prepared tooth.

An onlay is similar to an inlay, except it incorporates a replacement for a tooth cusp by covering the area where the missing cusp would be.

TEETH WHITENING

Do you want to get rid of stains or discolouration from your teeth to get a brighter, whiter smile? Your teeth can get stained or discoloured from factors such as ageing, poor oral hygiene, consuming highly pigmented food and habits like smoking. Our teeth whitening treatments at Port Melbourne Dental use premium materials to give your pearly whites the radiance they deserve. 

HOW MUCH DOES COSMETIC DENTISTRY COST IN MELBOURNE?

The cost of cosmetic dentistry depends on the treatment or selected and the complexity of the case along with a few other factors. While it’s hard to provide an accurate breakdown of the cost without assessing your mouth, we will be able to do so when you visit us for a consultation.
