A Smile That Still Feels Like Yours

Cosmetic dentistry can be about a small change or a more involved treatment plan. You may want to soften the appearance of a chip, discuss the colour of your teeth, straighten them, or replace a tooth you’re missing.

We’ll take the time to understand what you like about your smile as well as what you’d like to change. Then we’ll explain suitable options in plain language, with your natural features, dental health and preferences in mind. If you’re considering a smile makeover in Ipswich, this is where we begin: with your goals, rather than a set idea of how your smile should look.

Is Cosmetic Dentistry Right for You?

You don’t need to have a complete smile makeover in mind. Maybe there’s just one thing you’d like to ask about. We’re here to listen, take a look and help you understand what might suit your teeth.

You might be thinking about:

Teeth that look stained or discoloured
A chipped or worn tooth
A small gap between teeth
Teeth that look uneven or feel crowded
A missing tooth

Every smile has its own starting point. At your consultation, we’ll check your teeth and gums, ask what you’d like to change, and talk through the options that may suit you. We’ll also explain what each option involves, including costs and ongoing care, so you can decide what feels right.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a cosmetic dentistry treatment cost?

That depends entirely on what your situation requires, which is why we provide an itemised quote following your assessment rather than an estimate over the telephone. Your health fund may contribute depending on your level of cover, and we can review payment plan options at the same appointment so that you have the complete picture before deciding.

How long do veneers last?

Well maintained, veneers are designed to last a considerable time. Porcelain and composite behave differently, and both may require refreshing or replacement in due course depending on your bite and how they are cared for. We will give you realistic figures for whichever option you are considering, so that you understand what you are committing to.

Are veneers reversible?

Veneers are a long-term treatment. Porcelain veneers generally require some preparation of the tooth surface and are therefore not considered reversible, while composite can be more conservative. We will explain precisely what your option involves before you make a decision.

Will whitening change the colour of my crowns, veneers or fillings?

No. Whitening lifts the colour of natural tooth structure but does not alter the shade of crowns, veneers, fillings or bonding. If you have existing restorations, we will discuss the appropriate sequence so that your final result appears even.

Am I a suitable candidate for dental implants?

Not everyone is, and we would always tell you so. Suitability depends on your gum health, the bone available to support an implant, your bite and your general health — all of which are assessed at your consultation. Where an implant is not the appropriate option, we will discuss whether a bridge or a denture would better suit your circumstances.

What is the difference between a crown and a bridge?

A crown covers and reinforces a single damaged or weakened tooth. A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to the natural teeth, or implants, on either side. Following your assessment, we will explain which is appropriate for you and why.

Will treatment be uncomfortable?

Treatment is carried out under local anaesthetic, so the area is numb throughout. Some tenderness or sensitivity afterwards is normal and generally settles with simple pain relief. We will explain beforehand what to expect and how to remain comfortable, and treatment can be paused at any point at your request.

What if I decide not to proceed?

That is an entirely reasonable outcome of a consultation, and there is no expectation either way. You will leave understanding your options and what each would cost, and you are welcome to take as long as you need to consider them.

Important information
The information on this page is general and is not a diagnosis or a recommendation for treatment. Cosmetic and restorative treatments carry risks as well as benefits and are not suitable for everyone; suitability depends on a full assessment of your teeth, gums, bite and general health. Individual results vary, and restorations may require refreshing or replacement over time depending on your oral health and how they are maintained. Your dentist will explain the benefits, risks and alternatives available to you, including the option of no treatment, so that you can make an informed decision.
