What is Cosmetic Dentistry?

A smile plays an important role in your day-to-day life. Cosmetic dentistry involves treatments designed to improve the appearance and function of your teeth, gums and bite. Modern approaches consider not only tooth colour and shape but also gum contour, alignment and overall oral health.

At ArtSmiles, we focus on supporting your health and goals with treatments tailored to your needs and clinical suitability. Our team provides guidance throughout your journey, helping you to make informed decisions about your dental care.

What can cosmetic dentistry address?

Outcomes vary depending on your individual situation and your dentist will discuss what is suitable for you.  

Cosmetic dentistry can help with a variety of concerns, including:

  • Stained or discoloured teeth
  • Uneven, small or misaligned teeth
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Gummy smiles or uneven gums
  • Old or failing dental work (fillings, crowns, inlays)
  • Missing teeth
  • Cracks, chips or fractures
  • Tooth decay or trauma

What are some common cosmetic dentistry procedures?

The best way to determine which cosmetic procedures may be appropriate for you is to attend a complimentary cosmetic consultation with our friendly dentists. During this appointment, he will carry out a thorough assessment and take time to discuss your goals, concerns and expectations, helping you explore suitable treatment options.

Together, you will work out a personalised treatment plan designed to meet your specific needs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cosmetic Dentistry

Suitability for cosmetic dentistry depends on your overall oral health and individual goals. Healthy teeth and gums are important before starting any cosmetic treatment. If existing issues are present, these can often be addressed first. 

The best way to find out if you’re suited to cosmetic dentistry is to visit our Gold Coast clinic. Dr Dunker will answer all of your questions during the complimentary consultation.

There’s no straightforward answer. The longevity of cosmetic dental treatments varies between individuals. Factors could include the condition of your teeth before treatment, the type of procedure and how well results are maintained over time. 

However, it’s important to note that with regular dental care and good oral hygiene, some treatments can last many years, though outcomes vary.

The cost of cosmetic dentistry varies depending on the type and extent of treatment recommended. During your consultation at ArtSmiles, your dentist will outline suitable options and provide a clear estimate. 

Flexible payment options, including Afterpay, TLC, Humm and Access My Super, may be available to assist with planning.

Please note that terms and conditions apply to all financing options.

Some cosmetic dental procedures may involve temporary discomfort, which varies depending on the treatment and individual sensitivity. Local anaesthetic and, where appropriate, sedation options can be discussed to support comfort. 

Your dentist will explain what to expect and recommend appropriate aftercare to help manage recovery.
