Cosmetic Dentistry at SmileOnPerth

 

Cosmetic dentistry at SmileOn Perth focuses on improving the appearance of your teeth and gums while supporting long‑term oral health. Our dentists provide a range of evidence‑based treatments, and every plan is tailored to your individual needs, goals, and clinical situation.

We are located in Wembley and welcome patients from across Perth who are considering cosmetic dental treatment and would like clear, balanced information before deciding.

What is cosmetic dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry includes dental treatments that aim to change the colour, shape, position, or overall appearance of teeth and gums. Common reasons people explore cosmetic dentistry in Perth include:

  • Discolouration or staining

  • Chipped, worn, or uneven teeth

  • Spaces or gaps between teeth

  • Crowded or misaligned teeth

  • Gummy smile or uneven gum line

Not every person or concern will be suitable for every treatment. At SmileOn Perth, your dentist will first assess your oral health, discuss your expectations, and explain appropriate options, including benefits, risks, and alternatives.

Porcelain veneers and dental veneers

Porcelain veneers are thin, custom‑made shells that are bonded to the front surface of teeth to change their shape, colour, or apparent alignment. They may be considered for:

  • Teeth with discolouration that may not respond to whitening

  • Worn, chipped, or uneven teeth

  • Certain spacing or minor alignment concerns

Your dentist will assess whether veneers are suitable for you, discuss different veneer types (including minimal‑prep options where appropriate), and explain what is involved in preparation, placement, and maintenance. Veneers are not reversible and may require replacement over time.

Teeth Whitening

Professional teeth whitening aims to lighten the colour of natural teeth using dental‑grade whitening agents. Before whitening, your dentist will:

  • Check for decay, cracks, or gum disease

  • Discuss realistic expectations and possible sensitivity

  • Explain in‑chair and take‑home options, if suitable

Whitening is not effective for all types of discolouration and does not change the colour of existing fillings, crowns, or veneers.

Gum contouring and laser gum recontouring

Gum contouring (also called gum reshaping) may be considered for patients who feel their smile shows too much gum or has an uneven gum line. Your dentist will:

  • Assess gum health and tooth support

  • Explain the procedure, healing, and possible risks

  • Discuss whether gum contouring alone or in combination with other treatments is appropriate

Not all patients are suitable for gum contouring, and underlying gum or bone conditions may need to be addressed first.

Risks, limitations, and maintenance

  • All dental procedures carry potential risks and limitations. Depending on the treatment, these may include:

    • Tooth sensitivity or discomfort

    • Changes to tooth structure that cannot be reversed

    • Chipping, cracking, or debonding of restorations

    • Gum irritation or inflammation

    • Need for future repair or replacement

Your dentist will explain the specific risks relevant to your situation and how to care for your teeth and gums after treatment. Regular check‑ups, good oral hygiene, and avoiding habits such as grinding or biting hard objects can help maintain cosmetic results.
