What is cosmetic dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry improves the appearance of your teeth and smile while keeping them healthy and functional. At Park Road Dental we focus on the shape, size, alignment and colour of your teeth, using treatments such as porcelain veneers, composite bonding and smile makeovers. Teeth whitening is a cosmetic treatment we also offer on its own teeth whitening page. Every plan is designed around your face and your goals, aiming for a result that looks natural rather than obvious.
What are porcelain veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are bonded to the front of your teeth to change their shape, size, colour or position. Each veneer is crafted in a dental lab and colour-matched to give a natural finish. Veneers suit larger changes across several teeth, resist staining well and are hard-wearing. Because a small amount of enamel is usually prepared first, veneers are a considered, long-term choice we plan carefully at your consultation.
What is composite bonding?
Composite bonding uses tooth-coloured resin that is shaped directly onto your tooth and set with a curing light, all in a single visit. It is well suited to smaller changes, such as closing minor gaps, repairing chips, or reshaping worn or uneven edges. Bonding usually needs little or no removal of natural tooth, which makes it a conservative option. It can be a good first step when you want a subtle improvement without lab-made restorations.
Smile makeovers and digital planning
A smile makeover combines several cosmetic treatments into one plan tailored to your teeth, gums and face. We plan every case digitally in-house, so we can map out proposed changes and show you a preview of the intended result before any treatment begins. This lets you see the direction, ask questions and adjust the plan with your dentist. Planning digitally also helps the final veneers or bonding match the design we agreed on together.
When does cosmetic dentistry suit you?
Cosmetic treatment can suit teeth that are chipped, worn, gapped, crowded, uneven or discoloured. The right option depends on the condition of your teeth, your bite and how much change you want. Bonding suits small, single-visit repairs, veneers suit broader changes, and a makeover combines treatments. We first check that your teeth and gums are healthy, because cosmetic work is most predictable on a sound foundation. Your dentist explains the choices at your assessment.
Cosmetic dentistry costs and health funds
Every smile is different, so the cost depends on which treatment you choose, how many teeth are involved and the condition of your teeth. After your assessment we give you a clear treatment plan and a written quote, with no surprises. All major Australian health funds are accepted and claimed on the spot, so if you have dental extras cover you can claim any eligible rebate at the practice and pay only the gap.
Cosmetic dentistry FAQs
What cosmetic dental treatments do you offer?
At Park Road Dental in Cheltenham we offer porcelain veneers, composite bonding and full smile makeovers, along with teeth whitening on its own page. We also reshape and repair chipped, worn, gapped or discoloured teeth. Each option is planned digitally in-house so you can preview the result before treatment begins.
How much do veneers cost in Melbourne?
The cost of veneers depends on how many teeth are treated, whether porcelain or composite is used, and the condition of your teeth, so every case differs. After an assessment at our Cheltenham practice we provide a clear, written quote, and all major health funds are accepted on the spot.
Veneers or bonding — which is right for me?
Composite bonding is applied in a single visit and suits small chips, gaps and minor reshaping. Porcelain veneers are custom-made in a lab, resist staining well and suit larger changes across several teeth. At your consultation we assess your teeth and goals to recommend the right approach.
How long do veneers last?
Porcelain veneers are hard-wearing and can last many years with good care, while composite bonding typically has a shorter lifespan and may need occasional touch-ups. Longevity depends on your bite, oral hygiene and habits such as grinding, which we discuss at your appointment.
