Cosmetic Dentistry Perth: Personalised Care in West Leederville

A smile makeover is a personalised treatment plan that combines one or more cosmetic, orthodontic or restorative dental treatments.

For example, a plan may involve whitening natural teeth before replacing an old crown, straightening teeth with Invisalign or using veneers to address selected concerns.

There is no standard smile makeover treatment. Your plan will be based on your oral health, facial features, treatment preferences, budget and the changes you would like to make.

Invisalign clear aligners are custom-made plastic trays that gradually move your teeth into planned positions.

The aligners are clear, removable and designed around your individual teeth. They can be removed while eating, drinking, brushing and flossing, making them a discreet alternative to traditional braces for suitable patients.

Retainers are generally required after treatment to help maintain the final position of your teeth.

Professional teeth whitening can lighten natural teeth affected by stains or discolouration from ageing, coffee, tea, red wine, smoking and other lifestyle factors.

Cambridge City Dental offers both in-chair whitening and dentist-supervised take-home whitening. Your dentist will examine your teeth before treatment to check whether whitening is suitable and discuss the result you may be able to achieve.

White fillings use tooth-coloured material to repair suitable areas of decay or minor damage.

The material can be shaped and shaded to blend with the surrounding tooth, making it less noticeable than a traditional metal-coloured filling. White filling material may also be used in some cases to repair small chips or improve the shape of a tooth.

The suitability and expected lifespan of a white filling depend on factors such as the size and location of the repair, the condition of the tooth and the pressure placed on it when biting.

Dental veneers are thin coverings placed over the visible surface of selected teeth.

Depending on your dental needs, porcelain or composite veneers may be used to change the apparent colour, shape, length or alignment of teeth. They may be considered for concerns such as small chips, stubborn discolouration, minor gaps or uneven tooth shapes.

A dental crown is a custom-made covering placed over an existing tooth.

Crowns may be recommended when a tooth has been significantly weakened, broken, affected by decay or treated with root canal therapy. They can restore the shape and strength of the tooth while being designed to blend with the surrounding smile.

Missing teeth can affect the appearance of your smile, as well as how you bite and chew.

A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth using a restoration supported by neighbouring teeth or implants.

A dental implant is placed into the jawbone and can support a crown, bridge or denture. Implant treatment involves surgery and is usually completed in stages. Healthy gums and sufficient bone support are important when determining whether an implant may be suitable.

Depending on the size and cause of the gap, possible options may include Invisalign, other restorative orthodontic treatment, composite resin fillings or veneers.

Clear aligners may gradually move suitable teeth into a more even position. Veneers may alter the visible appearance of minor irregularities, but they do not physically straighten the underlying teeth or correct every bite problem.

White fillings may repair smaller areas, while a dental crown may be recommended when a tooth requires greater coverage and support.

Dental bridges, single-tooth implants or dentures may be considered. Your dentist will discuss the condition of the surrounding teeth, gums and jawbone before recommending suitable options.

Possible options may include a professional clean, teeth whitening, veneers or ceramic dental crowns, depending on whether the discolouration is on the surface, within the tooth or part of an existing restoration.

Small chips may be repaired with white filling material or composite resin. Veneers or crowns may be discussed when more of the tooth requires coverage or restoration.

Cambridge City Dental has provided general, cosmetic and restorative dental care to Perth patients since 1999.

Our clinic is located at 3/98 Cambridge Street in West Leederville, around five minutes from Perth CBD and close to Leederville, Subiaco, Wembley, West Perth, Floreat and surrounding suburbs.

Cosmetic concerns often overlap with dental health and function.

Our dentists can assess your general oral health and discuss cosmetic, orthodontic and restorative treatment options within the same dental practice. This helps ensure that your treatment plan considers more than appearance alone.

Before qualifying as a dentist, Dr Sam Zein worked as a dental technician specialising in crown and bridge work.

He has maintained an interest in modern cosmetic dentistry, including teeth whitening and natural-looking restorative treatment.

Digital scans can be used during the planning of treatments such as Invisalign and dental crowns.

For suitable crown procedures, our CEREC technology allows custom ceramic crowns to be designed and milled on site, reducing the need for traditional impressions and multiple appointments.

Before beginning treatment, we will explain the recommended procedures and provide a personalised quote.

Our dental pricing guide provides indicative starting prices for a range of cosmetic and restorative treatments. Final costs depend on your oral health, treatment complexity, materials and private health fund.

Cambridge City Dental accepts all major health funds and provides HICAPS claiming for eligible treatments.

Private health insurance rebates depend on your provider, policy and level of cover. We can provide treatment item numbers and cost information so you can check your expected benefits with your health fund.
