Cosmetic dentistry is the process of enhancing the appearance of a smile. However it’s not just aesthetics that leading cosmetic dentists address. Instead, they focus on the health and functionality of a smile, so that the aesthetic results the patient desires come naturally, and will be far superior than a quick-fix cosmetic solution that doesn’t address underlying issues.

At Bond Street, our cosmetic dentists put so much time into planning your treatment and ensuring that every step is accurate that you’ll walk away feeling refreshed and transformed, from the inside out.

Cosmetic dentistry can encompass many treatments, but some of the most common performed at Bond Street include: Invisalign, porcelain veneers, Zoom whitening and porcelain crowns.

We were also the first Digital Smile Design clinic in Melbourne. This state-of-the-art technology allows you to accurately co-design your smile with our cosmetic dentists, so that you can see exactly what your cosmetic results will look like before you start your treatment.

If you’re unhappy with the look and feel of your smile, you may benefit from seeing a cosmetic dentist.

That’s because problems like overcrowding, stained or missing teeth can impact confidence and cause health issues that go far beyond aesthetics. For example, overcrowded teeth can harbour bacteria that’s difficult to effectively remove through teeth brushing or flossing. By straightening your teeth, not only will you achieve a beautiful smile but it will be much easier to keep hard to reach places free from buildup.

Whether it’s veneers, teeth whitening or straightening, for the best results, always look for a clinician who’s highly experienced and specially trained in cosmetic dentistry.

Zoom teeth whitening is a popular treatment that can give you a whiter, brighter smile in an hour. Clients can choose to receive the treatment ‘in chair’ at Bond Street Dental or you can perform the treatment at home with a Zoom take-home whitening kit.

• Safe and effective teeth whitening
• Great option for teeth stained by tea, coffee, tobacco and wine
• Choose to have treatment ‘in chair’ or at Bond Street Dental
• Easy to maintain

Porcelain crowns are a tooth-shaped cap that are used to fix a number of dental problems such as chipped, stained or cracked teeth. By placing the cap over a damaged tooth, the structure is held together and the appearance of the tooth is transformed.

• Provide structure for a tooth that’s been weakened
• Covers cracks and chips
• Improve appearance of dental decay
• An alternative for people who aren’t suitable for porcelain veneers
• Covers misaligned and discoloured teeth
  Restores function

Porcelain veneers are a popular cosmetic dental treatment for people who wish to improve the appearance of their smile. A cosmetic dentist uses thin, tooth-coloured shells to overlay teeth so that any imperfections are hidden; leaving a dull, chipped or discoloured smile completely regenerated.

• Porcelain is durable and long lasting
• Completely restores the appearance of your smile
• Hides crooked, gapped or poorly shaped teeth
• Hides discolouration

A dental implant is a medical grade titanium post placed into the jawbone as a substitute for a missing tooth root. The implant integrates naturally with the bone and can be used for a single tooth, multiple teeth or the entire upper and lower set of teeth, depending on the requirements.

• Replaces missing or damaged teeth
• All-on-4® treatment can be used to replace multiple teeth
• Looks and functions just like natural teeth
• Strengthens remaining natural teeth
• Makes eating more comfortable

A ‘gummy smile’, or excessive or uneven gums, can often be helped with a gum lift procedure. It can also be combined with porcelain crowns or porcelain veneers for a total smile makeover.

• All treatments can be performed in-clinic at Bond Street Dental
• Fixing a gummy smile creates more symmetry
• Helps to improve the appearance of other treatments such as porcelain veneers

When one or several teeth are missing, there are different dental implant options available depending on your specific requirements. It’s important to replace missing teeth as soon as possible, to avoid unnecessary and invasive bone grafting procedures.

Single missing tooth

If you have a single tooth missing, your cosmetic dentist will likely recommend that you have it replaced with a dental implant. At Bond Street, we use the highest quality medical grade titanium posts that are designed for longevity.

All-on-4®

If you have several missing or damaged teeth, you may be a candidate for the innovative and highly sought after All-on-4® treatment—an advanced technique that uses only four implants to support an entire arch of teeth.

This landmark treatment concept can be used in either the upper or lower jaw to support immediate fixed replacement teeth.

Your new teeth will look, feel and function just like natural teeth in one or two days.

Zygomatic Implants
Not everybody’s facial bones are built the same. Depending on the outcome of your diagnostic x-rays, extra long Zygomatic dental implants may be offered in cases where the amount of bone available in the upper jaw is insufficient for our more common implant procedures.

Zygoma implants are anchored into the cheekbone, providing an alternative to grafting procedures in the upper jaw. As with the All-on-4® technique, new teeth can be connected to them within one or two days of the surgery.

While porcelain veneers are a beautiful and effective way to improve the appearance of many smiles, it isn’t the only treatment option available. At Bond Street, we never push clients into treatments that they don’t need, instead working with you to truly understand the results you’re after so that you can make informed decisions.

For a complete smile transformation, high-quality porcelain veneers from Bond Street Dental may be an excellent treatment option for you. The first step in your journey is booking an appointment with our dedicated treatment coordinator who can unravel your needs and help you begin your journey.
