Cosmetic Dentistry in Hervey Bay

Cosmetic dentistry encompasses a range of dental procedures aimed at changing, enhancing, or improving the overall appearance of teeth and smiles.

What is Cosmetic Dentistry?

When people think of cosmetic dentistry, they often consider elective treatments like teeth whitening and dental veneers. However, many modern dental procedures can produce beautiful cosmetic results.

At our Hervey Bay practice, we offer a range of dental services that enhance the appearance of your smile, including fillings, dental crowns and bridges, dental implants, and orthodontics. If a missing tooth has created a visible gap that you want to fill, we can craft a natural-looking replacement. We also provide bonding and reshaping services to modify oddly shaped teeth. When you need cosmetic solutions for your dental issues, our experienced team is here to help.

A Beautiful Smile Needs a Healthy Foundation.

At Smile Dental Hervey Bay (formally White Dental Co.), we take a health-first approach to our dentistry. We like to ensure that teeth and gums are clean and healthy and that a strong preventive program is in place. A healthy mouth provides lasting foundations for cosmetic dental treatments. We strongly recommend that your cosmetic dental treatment begins with assessing your overall oral health. We’ll offer a comprehensive treatment plan and the dental services you need to manage or eliminate the disease if dental diseases are present. And our dentist will help you avoid future dental problems through proactive prevention. Once your smile is healthy, your chosen cosmetic treatment can begin.

Frequently Asked Questions 

What is the difference between a dentist and a cosmetic dentist?

The term “cosmetic dentist” isn’t recognised as a specialisation in Australia. All dentists undergo training in dental aesthetics. Many General Dentists subsequently develop an interest in this area and spend time learning more about aesthetic procedures as part of their ongoing professional development.

How do I choose a dentist for cosmetic dental treatments?

If you’re considering cosmetic dental treatments, it’s important to work with a dentist you know and trust and who prioritises your health and well-being.

Keep in mind that appearance-enhancing treatments are elective. You should never be pressured or receive a “hard sell”. Your dentist’s role is to provide an accurate diagnosis and recommend the procedures most suitable for your unique situation.

My friend had {this treatment} done, and their teeth look great! Can I have the same treatment?

Every person is unique, so each person’s dental needs are unique.

A friend’s tooth or teeth may respond beautifully to a particular cosmetic dental treatment. This will be because the dentist accurately diagnosed the cause of the cosmetic challenge and provided the appropriate treatment for that individual. Other patients may need a very different course of dental care to achieve a similar cosmetic outcome.

Healthy smiles from our dental family to yours
