We Only Recommend Treatment If We’d Choose It for Ourselves
Always caught between a closed‑lip smile and a real one? It’s a slight hesitation, but it can slip into every photo, every conversation, every important moment.
Maybe it’s the work presentation you’ve been preparing for, the first date you’re nervous about, or a candid selfie with friends. When you’re busy wondering how your teeth look, you’re not fully in the moment.
Our cosmetic dentistry treatments end that internal debate. Whether it’s whitening, veneers, or smile makeovers, we give you a smile that photographs as beautifully as it feels.
Teeth Whitening
Your teeth have stories: coffee meetings, red wine dinners, years of living. Our teeth whitening service erases the stains but keeps the memories. Using dentist-grade gels and light activation, we brighten your smile in one visit—no sensitivity, no harsh chemicals. Just the natural brightness you had before life left its mark.
Veneers
Sometimes it’s not just stains; it’s the chip from that childhood accident, the gap you’ve always covered, or teeth that never quite lined up. Veneers give you the smile you’ve been picturing in your head. Custom-designed, paper-thin porcelain that looks like your best teeth, only better.
Smile Design
Some people want a touch‑up. Others want a makeover. Our smile design starts with your face, your goals, and your timeline, and then engineers a natural result to match. The process begins by mapping your facial structure, lip dynamics, and bite patterns. We preview everything digitally so you see the outcome before we begin, then plan each tooth’s shape, shade, and position. Whether it’s veneers, bonding, whitening, or aligners, every detail works together.
The Process
Our process ensures every patient receives personalised attention, comprehensive treatment, and ongoing support. From your first consultation through your complete recovery, we prioritise your comfort, understanding, and long-term oral health success. This is what ‘care beyond the chair’ truly means.
Step 1
Comprehensive Discovery & Examination
Your preventive care at Unley Park Dental begins with a thorough assessment—including digital X-rays and comprehensive oral health screening—to identify your current dental status and potential concerns. We'll discuss your medical history, lifestyle factors, and oral care routine so we can create a personalised prevention plan.
Step 2
Pre-Treatment Prep
Next, we create your personal treatment plan. Once seated in our comfortable environment, we'll explain our findings in plain English and collaborate with you on the best path forward. Whether it's preventive care, restorative work, or addressing immediate concerns, you'll understand exactly what we're recommending and why it matters.
Step 3
Treatment Process
Then we proceed with your aesthetic transformation using techniques designed around your comfort, not despite it. From professional teeth whitening and custom veneers to comprehensive smile design, we combine artistic excellence with compassionate understanding of your comfort. Each cosmetic procedure is performed with attention to both your physical well-being and confidence, ensuring you feel relaxed while we create the beautiful smile you've always wanted.
Aftercare & Post-treatment Evaluation
Health Insurers
We work with leading health insurers to make accessing quality dental care straightforward. Simply bring your health fund details, and we'll handle the rest—letting you focus on your oral health, not the paperwork.
Why Unley Park for your Cosmetic Dentistry?
Because our care goes beyond the chair
And because you want a dentist who combines experience and innovation. We deliver thoughtful, individualised treatments with the latest technology—always guided by your comfort, needs, and goals.
We don’t follow the standard script. We plan deeper, communicate better, and aim higher. Our process is led by genuine relationships, not conveyor-belt care. From our technology to our tone, everything we do is about delivering a more refined experience.
Each member of our team brings a specialist skillset and a shared philosophy: excellence with empathy. Our dentists are not only highly qualified—they’re deeply committed to your comfort and results.
We built our practice on a simple belief: dental care should heal more than mouths. It should restore confidence, reduce anxiety, and respect the person behind every smile.
Our team brings decades of experience to cosmetic dentistry, and we use that to create the best personalised experience, from taking time to understand your story, creating solutions that fit your life, and celebrating small wins with you.
Our advanced technology helps—a lot— but empathy drives everything. We remember being patients too. We know the vulnerability of the dental chair, the anxiety of unknown procedures, and the relief when someone genuinely cares. That understanding shapes every service, from quick teeth whitenings to complex smile makeovers.
Patients tell us they never expected to feel comfortable at a dentist. Some even say they enjoy visits. We can’t promise miracles, but we can promise genuine care that considers who you are, not just what you need.

Problems fixed with Cosmetic Dentistry
Smile insecurities often develop quietly over time; they appear as chips you try hide, stains that won’t budget, or gaps that affect your confidence. But every cosmetic concern, from minor discolouration to complete smile design, can be beautifully addressed with our modern aesthetic dentistry.
Recognising these issues helps you take action and reclaim the smile you deserve. Here are the most common concerns our patients bring to us, and how we transform each one:
Years of coffee, tea, wine, and everyday living can leave your teeth looking dull and yellowed, aging your entire appearance. Professional whitening treatments and veneers restore that natural brightness, giving you back a vibrant smile that matches how you feel inside.
Stained TeethSurface stains from food, drinks, and lifestyle habits create uneven colouring that makes you hesitant to smile fully. Our advanced whitening systems and porcelain veneers remove deep stains that regular toothpaste can’t touch, revealing the clean, bright smile underneath.
Chipped TeethThat accident from years ago, biting down on something hard, or simple wear and tear, can leave jagged edges that catch light and draw unwanted attention. Dental bonding, crowns, or veneers seamlessly restore smooth, natural-looking tooth surfaces.
Cracked TeethFine lines and deeper cracks not only affect your smile’s appearance but can worsen over time. We repair and reinforce damaged teeth with crowns or veneers that protect against further damage while creating a flawless appearance.
Gaps between teethSpaces between your teeth can affect how you speak, eat, and feel about smiling widely. Whether it’s a small gap or more noticeable spacing, veneers, bonding, or orthodontic solutions can close these openings for a complete, even smile.
Misaligned or crooked teethUneven, overlapping, or twisted teeth create an unbalanced smile that can make you appear less confident than you are. Through precise planning and treatment, we realign and reshape teeth to create natural-looking harmony across your entire smile.
Misshaped teethTeeth that are too small, too large, pointed, or irregularly formed can throw off your entire smile’s proportions. Custom veneers or bonding reshape each tooth to complement the others, creating the balanced, proportionate look you’ve been wanting.
Missing teethGaps from lost teeth affect both function and appearance, changing how you chew, speak, and smile. Dental implants, bridges, or other restoration options replace missing teeth with natural-looking solutions that restore your complete smile and confidence.

Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
What is meant by cosmetic dentistry?Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of your teeth, gums, and smile through elective procedures. While traditional dentistry addresses oral health and function, cosmetic treatments enhance aesthetics: whitening discoloured teeth, reshaping irregular teeth, closing gaps, or replacing missing teeth to create a more attractive, confident smile.
How much does a full set of veneers cost in Australia?A full set of porcelain veneers in Australia typically costs between to , depending on the number of teeth treated and the complexity of your case. Composite veneers are less expensive, ranging from to . Location, dentist experience, and materials used affect pricing.
What is another name for cosmetic dentistry?Cosmetic dentistry is also called aesthetic dentistry or esthetic dentistry. These terms are used interchangeably to describe dental treatments focused on improving the appearance of a smile rather than addressing medical necessity. Some dental practitioners also refer to it as smile design or smile makeover dentistry when comprehensive treatments are involved.
What is the cheapest country for cosmetic dentistry?Countries like Thailand, Mexico, Turkey, and Hungary offer significantly lower costs for cosmetic dental procedures, often 50-70% less than Australian prices. However, consider travel expenses, limitations on follow-up care, varying quality standards, and potential complications when treatment is performed overseas rather than locally.
What are the most common cosmetic dental procedures?Teeth whitening is the most popular cosmetic procedure, followed by porcelain veneers, dental bonding, and cosmetic crowns. Other common treatments include smile makeovers, gap closure, tooth reshaping, and gum contouring. These procedures address discolouration, chips, gaps, misalignment, and overall smile enhancement.
What is the cheapest way to close a gap in teeth?Dental bonding is typically the most affordable option for closing small gaps, using tooth-coloured composite resin applied directly to teeth. For larger gaps or multiple spacing issues, clear aligners may be more cost-effective than veneers. The best approach depends on gap size and your overall smile goals.
How much do veneers cost?Porcelain veneers in Australia range from to per tooth, while composite veneers cost to per tooth. Factors affecting price include material choice, dentist location and experience, number of teeth treated, and case complexity. Most treatments require multiple teeth for optimal results.
Is there a difference between aesthetic dentistry and cosmetic dentistry?These terms are essentially synonymous, both describing treatments that improve smile appearance. Some practitioners use “aesthetic dentistry” to emphasise the artistic aspect of creating beautiful smiles, while “cosmetic dentistry” is more commonly used. Both focus on enhancing dental aesthetics rather than treating medical conditions.
What is one of the main problems with all-ceramic crowns?All-ceramic crowns can be more prone to chipping or fracturing under heavy biting forces compared to crowns with metal frameworks. While they offer superior aesthetics and biocompatibility, they may not be suitable for patients who grind their teeth or need crowns on back molars that endure significant pressure.
