Perth Cosmetic Dentistry Services in West Leederville

Looking for a complete smile makeover? Our smile makeovers start with an assessment of your smile, looking at your facial features and the condition of your teeth. Your dentist will then make some recommendations that align with your goals and bring out the best in your smile. These recommendations may include multiple cosmetic dental procedures carried out at different stages of a tailored smile makeover treatment plan.

Invisalign can help you straighten crooked teeth with minimal hassle. It involves a set of transparent custom-made Invisalign aligners that gradually move your teeth to the desired position over time. Invisalign aligners are comfortable, removable, and have no obvious appearance like traditional metal braces do.

Teeth whitening is a popular treatment that can help brighten up your smile. At Cambridge City Dental, we offer in-chair teeth whitening procedures carried out by a dentist at our practice, as well as home teeth whitening kits for you to administer yourself at your convenience. Both types of teeth whitening can brighten up your teeth.

Restorative dental treatments necessary for preserving oral health don’t have to stand out. Gone are the days when you had to put up with traditional silver fillings that could spoil the natural beauty of your smile. Did you know that you can have old metal fillings replaced in a single session with natural-looking white composite fillings?

Want to hide more intense stains on your natural teeth? Or perhaps you want to adjust the size or shape of your teeth? Dental veneers may be an option for you! We offer composite veneers and porcelain veneers. Both types of dental veneers are fitted over existing teeth. They cover stains and could enhance your smile by offering a straighter and more polished appearance.

Ceramic dental crowns are used to reinforce and protect teeth that have been damaged or weakened due to decay or trauma. Dental crowns are caps that fit over an existing prepared tooth. They can also be used to strengthen cracked or broken teeth.

If you’ve got a missing tooth, you could opt to replace it with a dental implant. Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone beneath the gum line to serve as artificial tooth roots. They provide a strong foundation for replacement teeth that look and function like natural teeth.

Cosmetic dentistry refers to dental procedures that are primarily aimed at improving the aesthetic appearance of a person's teeth. While general dentistry focuses on oral hygiene and preventing, diagnosing, and treating oral disease, cosmetic dentistry focuses on enhancing the appearance of a patient's smile through various dental treatments and procedures. A patient could opt for single cosmetic dental treatments or multiple combined as part of a complete smile makeover.

Private health insurance coverage for cosmetic dentistry varies widely depending on the insurance provider and the specific policy terms. In general, most standard dental insurance policies do not cover purely cosmetic procedures, such as teeth whitening, because they are considered elective treatments aimed at enhancing appearance rather than addressing medical necessity or functional issues.

However, some cosmetic dental treatments, such as Invisalign, white fillings, veneers and crowns may be covered by certain policies as they can be necessary for correcting alignment issues as well as, restorative dental treatments, such as dental implants, which could be considered for coverage under certain policies due to their functional benefits in restoring missing teeth and supporting oral health.

A dental check-up appointment is vital before beginning any cosmetic dental procedure for:

• Assessment of oral health: A thorough dental check-up and clean allows your dentist to assess the overall health of your teeth, gums, and mouth. This helps identify any underlying dental issues, such as cavities, gum disease, or infections, that may need to be addressed prior to undergoing any cosmetic dental procedures. Addressing these issues beforehand ensures a stable foundation for any smile enhancements and reduces the risk of complications.

• Personalised treatment plan: Every patient's dental needs and cosmetic dentistry goals are unique. During your cosmetic dentist appointment, your dentist will discuss your desired outcomes and conduct a comprehensive assessment to determine the most suitable cosmetic treatments for achieving your goals. This personalised approach ensures that the chosen treatments will effectively address your concerns and deliver the desired aesthetic results. It also allows us to manage expectations surrounding treatment results, which can vary from person to person.

• Preventive care: Cosmetic dentistry involves procedures that may affect the structure and appearance of your natural teeth. Before proceeding with cosmetic dentistry procedures like veneers, crowns, or dental implants, it's important to ensure that your teeth and gums are in good condition. Preventive care measures, such as professional cleaning and oral hygiene instructions provided during your appointment, can help maintain the longevity of your cosmetic dental treatments.

Many cosmetic dental treatments are designed to be minimally invasive, meaning they involve gentle techniques that aim to preserve as much of your natural tooth structure as possible. Your dentist may use local anaesthesia to numb the area being treated. This helps to minimise discomfort and ensure a more comfortable experience.

The level of sensation you experience could also vary depending on the specific cosmetic dental procedure being performed. For example, during a teeth whitening procedure, you may feel a slight tingling sensation or sensitivity in your teeth as the whitening agent is applied and activated. Whilst during a dental implant procedure, you may experience some temporary pressure or discomfort during the placement of the implant post into the jawbone.

It's important to communicate openly with your dentist about any concerns you have regarding discomfort or pain during cosmetic dentistry treatments. There is plenty your dentist can do to ensure a comfortable and pain-free dental procedure.
