Cosmetic Dentistry Services Mirrabooka

Your smile is often one of the first things others notice about you, and if you don't smile because you don't like how your teeth look, you could be sending the wrong message. A smile you love to show can sometimes impact how others perceive you—and how you feel about yourself.

Cosmetic dentistry services in Mirrabooka, WA, may seem like treatments reserved only for the rich or famous, but procedures today are within reach for many people. At our Western Smiles dental clinic, cosmetic dentistry can be as simple as professional teeth whitening or as complete as full mouth reconstruction (smile makeover).

When it comes to cosmetic dentistry, it's all about you and your goals. Our cosmetic dentist can assess your oral health to ensure candidacy and answer any questions you might have about our treatments and services. 

Teeth bleaching is one of our most popular cosmetic dentistry treatments because it provides quick results and is budget-friendly for many patients. We offer both in-chair and take-home whitening kits using Philips Zoom! technology. Both options can boost tooth whiteness, potentially giving patients confidence and taking years off their appearance.

Tooth-Coloured Fillings

Gone are the days of grey metal fillings to treat tooth decay and detract from your smile aesthetics. Today's tooth-coloured fillings are designed to blend in seamlessly with the natural tooth. Even large fillings in the back molars are virtually invisible with our tooth-coloured option. 

Tooth-coloured fillings provide additional benefits. Because the composite material is bonded to the tooth in layers, they can strengthen the tooth. Another advantage is that less of the tooth structure needs to be removed before filling placement. They are usually not as sensitive to hot and cold as amalgam fillings.

If you have silver fillings, we invite you to talk to the dentist about replacing these with our modern option. 

Dental Bonding

The same composite material used for tooth-coloured fillings can also be used to make minor repairs to teeth. Dental bonding can provide a natural-looking, quick fix if your tooth has a chip or crack. We can also fix gaps and other aesthetic issues, usually in just one appointment.

Bonding can hide the following:

• Stained teeth or discolouration
• Chips and general flaws

Dental veneers conceal most tooth flaws and are a popular cosmetic option. They are strong shells of porcelain that your dentist attaches to the forward-facing teeth. The veneers are customised to look natural, and you can veneer as many teeth as you'd like. 

Veneers conceal the following cosmetic issues: 

• Gummy smiles
• Unusual spacing
• Slightly crooked teeth
• Short teeth
• Tooth discolouration

Another possibility for replacing missing teeth is dental implants. Implants are a solid tooth replacement option because they are designed to replace a missing tooth root and integrate into the jawbone. Their permanent stability and natural look make them function almost like a natural tooth.

Patients who are missing one or both arches and opt for dentures can also benefit from the stability of implants with implant-supported dentures. In most cases, four dental implants are placed to hold the dentures, providing patients with both tooth replacement options.

No one has to live with missing or damaged teeth, which can negatively impact their lifestyle. Dental crowns can repair a tooth that is broken, fractured, or otherwise damaged, providing an aesthetic look as the tooth crown will blend in with your natural tooth. They can also hide discolouration and general tooth flaws.

Missing teeth and broken teeth can lead to additional tooth loss in the future if we don't fill the space left behind. A dental bridge attaches to the teeth adjacent to the gap, bridging it with prosthetic teeth. Dental bridges blend in well and give patients back their chewing and speaking function.

Your cosmetic dentist in Mirrabooka can create a treatment plan that addresses multiple cosmetic issues and restores your smile (and oral health) on a timeline that works for you. This approach relies on various options and can include any of the following: 

General dentistry treatments

• Dental Veneers
• Teeth whitening
• Tooth replacement
• Tooth-coloured restorations
• Dental bonding

After cosmetic dentistry, we'll provide information on how to best care for your new smile. Fortunately, most modern options require little upkeep. However, it is always important to visit your dentist regularly for checks and cleans and maintain your oral hygiene. 

If ever you have questions, we are here for you!
