Considered cosmetic dental treatments for a smile that looks and feels like yours.
Market Street Dental in Kyneton offers a range of cosmetic options for adults across the Macedon Ranges. With the right combination of treatments, a tooth can be reshaped, brightened, lengthened, evened out or replaced entirely, with results that read as subtle, well-judged changes.
Some patients come in wanting a full smile makeover. Others just want help with something minor such as a chip or teeth whitening. Dr Sonya will work through the options at a consultation and put together a treatment plan based on what your teeth need, with a clear quote so you know what you’re committing to before anything is booked.
The first step is a consultation. Book online today, or call our clinic.
At our Kyneton clinic, a full smile makeover typically combines several cosmetic dental treatments, while dental veneers, teeth whitening or dental bonding can also be done on their own when one concern is the focus.
Tooth veneers are thin, custom-made shells that sit over the front of your teeth. Cosmetic dental veneers can fix chipped teeth, close gaps between teeth, or refine the colour, shape or alignment of your smile. The result depends on the type of veneer chosen and the condition of your underlying teeth.
A veneer consultation at Market Street Dental starts with a conversation about what you’d like to change. From there, we carry out a clinical assessment of your teeth and gums, take detailed records of your existing tooth shape, colour and position, and study how your smile sits within the proportions of your face. That clinical picture is what shapes the recommendation, including whether veneers are the right option for your case in the first place
Brighter teeth are one of the most-requested cosmetic outcomes. Dentist-supervised teeth whitening uses professional-strength whitening agents under clinical supervision, with your dentist assessing your teeth and gums beforehand to confirm the treatment is suitable for you.
Our clinic offers:
Dental bonding is a conservative cosmetic option, where a tooth-coloured composite material is applied and shaped directly onto the tooth. It’s often used for small chips, gaps or minor reshaping, and it can usually be completed in a single visit. Because bonding requires less preparation of the underlying tooth than veneers, it might be a suitable option for patients who’d like to make a small change without committing to anything irreversible.
With CEREC technology on site, certain cases for same-day crowns can be planned, designed and fitted in a single appointment. Same-day crowns are a useful option where a tooth has been damaged or worn and needs a stronger restoration. Whether a CEREC crown is appropriate will be confirmed during your consultation.
All major health funds are accepted via HICAPS, including NIB and CBHS as preferred providers and patients with extras cover may be able to claim a portion of their treatment fees back depending on the level of cover. If there’s a barrier between what’s claimable and the total cost, the team can talk you through flexible payment plan options through Afterpay and Zip Pay, allowing the treatment cost to be spread across instalments.
The starting point for any cosmetic case at Market Street Dental is a minimally invasive one. Where the same result can be achieved by polishing, whitening, bonding or a small adjustment to the shape of an existing tooth, those options are recommended first. Where veneers or crowns are genuinely the better choice for the case, the preparation is kept as conservative as the clinical situation allows, so that as much of your natural tooth structure is preserved as possible.
Treatment planning is done on the basis of how your smile sits within the proportions of your face, the position and condition of your existing teeth, and what you’d like to change. The aim is a result that looks balanced and natural in your face, rather than one that draws attention to the dentistry itself.
The longevity of veneers depends on the type chosen, your bite, and how well you look after your teeth at home. Your dentist will go through the expected lifespan of your specific veneer plan during your consultation.
The veneer process is generally well-tolerated. Some patients experience mild sensitivity after the preparation appointment, which usually settles. Local anaesthetic is available where required.
Teeth whitening provided by a dentist is performed under professional supervision, using assessed-strength whitening agents. Some patients experience temporary tooth sensitivity, which typically resolves on its own. Your dentist will assess whether whitening is suitable for you before any treatment is provided.
The longevity of teeth whitening varies between patients and depends on diet, lifestyle factors such as coffee and red wine consumption, and oral hygiene. Most patients notice their results begin to fade over months rather than weeks. Top-up treatments, including at-home whitening option can be discussed with your dentist when needed.
