Love the way you smile again.
Your smile is the first thing people notice — and it should make you feel amazing. At ArtSmiles in Southport, our cosmetic dentistry transforms smiles with veneers, crowns & bridges, clear aligners, and full mouth rehabilitation — all digitally designed to look natural and last.
What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry is about so much more than just how your teeth look — it's about how your smile makes you feel. Whether it's colour, shape, alignment, or proportion, small changes can make a world of difference to your confidence.
At ArtSmiles, we use digital smile design, 3D intraoral scanning, and an eye for facial harmony to create results that look naturally beautiful — never artificial. Every treatment is designed to complement your unique features.
Whether you want to fix a single chipped tooth or completely transform your smile, our cosmetic dentist in Southport will create a personalised plan around your goals, your oral health, and your budget.
Today's cosmetic dentistry blends artistry with advanced materials and digital technology — for results that are both stunning and built to last.
Signs You Could Benefit
If any of these sound familiar, cosmetic dentistry could be the fresh start your smile needs:
- Chipped, cracked, or worn teeth
- Discolouration or staining that whitening cannot resolve
- Gaps between teeth or uneven spacing
- Misshapen or asymmetrical teeth
- Old restorations that no longer match your smile
- Self-consciousness about smiling or speaking

Benefits of Cosmetic Dental Treatment
A Confidence Boost You Can Feel
When you love your smile, it shows. People who feel good about their teeth smile more, connect more easily, and carry themselves with real confidence.

We work with premium porcelain, zirconia, and composite materials chosen for their beauty and strength — so your smile stays stunning for years.
Gentle on Your Teeth
Many of our treatments preserve your natural tooth structure. Options like composite bonding, no-prep veneers, and clear aligners involve minimal or no tooth reduction.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does cosmetic dentistry cost on the Gold Coast?
Costs vary by treatment. Composite veneers start from around $600 per tooth, porcelain veneers from approximately $1,477 per tooth, and full mouth rehabilitations are quoted individually after assessment. ArtSmiles provides a detailed treatment plan with transparent pricing before any work begins.
How long do cosmetic dental treatments last?
Longevity depends on the treatment and how well it is maintained. Porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 20 years, zirconia veneers can last even longer, composite veneers 5 to 10 years, and ceramic crowns 10 to 15 years or more. Regular dental reviews and good oral hygiene are the most important factors in treatment longevity.
Can cosmetic dentistry fix crooked teeth without braces?
Yes. Mild to moderate crowding and alignment issues can be addressed with clear aligners (removable, transparent trays) or with porcelain veneers that reshape and realign the appearance of teeth. More severe orthodontic cases may require traditional braces or a combination approach.
Will cosmetic dental work look natural?
Yes — natural-looking results are a priority at ArtSmiles. Restorations are colour-matched and shaped to complement your facial features, skin tone, and remaining teeth. We use high-quality ceramics and digital design tools to achieve results that blend seamlessly with your natural smile.
Does ArtSmiles offer payment plans for cosmetic treatments?
Yes. ArtSmiles offers flexible payment options through Afterpay, Zip, Humm, Smile Right and TLC. ArtSmiles Club members also receive discounted pricing on selected cosmetic treatments. Visit our finance page for full details.
What is a smile makeover?
A smile makeover is a customised treatment plan that combines two or more cosmetic procedures — such as veneers, whitening, crowns, or aligners — to achieve a comprehensive transformation. Every smile makeover at ArtSmiles is digitally planned to balance aesthetics, function, and facial harmony.
What is the difference between veneers and crowns?
Veneers are thin shells bonded to the front surface of a tooth to improve appearance — ideal when the underlying tooth is healthy. Crowns cover the entire tooth and are used when structural support is needed due to damage, decay, or heavy wear. Your clinician will recommend the most appropriate option based on your tooth condition.
Is cosmetic dentistry painful?
Most cosmetic procedures involve minimal discomfort. Veneer preparation, crown placement, and bonding are performed under local anaesthesia. Clear aligners involve mild pressure as teeth move but no injections. Sedation options are available at ArtSmiles for patients who feel anxious about dental treatment.
What happens during a cosmetic dentistry consultation?
Your consultation at ArtSmiles includes a clinical examination, 3D intraoral scanning, and digital photography. Your cosmetic dentist will discuss your goals, assess your oral health, and present treatment options with realistic previews where possible. A personalised treatment plan with pricing is provided before any commitment.
Am I a candidate for cosmetic dentistry?
Most adults with healthy gums and stable oral health are candidates for cosmetic treatment. Conditions like untreated gum disease, active decay, or significant bite problems may need to be addressed first. A comprehensive assessment at ArtSmiles will determine the best path for your smile goals.
How do I maintain my cosmetic dental work?
Brush twice daily, floss regularly, and attend scheduled professional reviews. Avoid using teeth as tools and wear a night guard if you grind your teeth. ArtSmiles Club members receive structured ongoing care tailored to the type of restoration, helping to protect your investment long-term.
Can I see what my results will look like before treatment?
In many cases, yes. ArtSmiles uses digital smile design and 3D scanning to create previews of your expected outcome before treatment begins. This allows you to visualise changes and make informed decisions alongside your cosmetic dentist.
