What is cosmetic dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of your teeth, gums and smile, often enhancing function at the same time. Modern treatments can address concerns such as stained or discoloured teeth, chipped or cracked teeth, worn teeth, uneven or misshapen teeth, gaps between teeth, crooked or crowded teeth, missing teeth, and old or unattractive restorations. Your dentist will assess your oral health and recommend the most suitable options to help you work towards your desired outcome.
Cosmetic dentistry treatments at our St Kilda Road practice
Teeth whitening. Professional whitening is one of the quicker ways to help brighten your smile, using professional grade products to reduce staining caused by ageing, coffee, tea, red wine and smoking. Results vary from person to person.
Porcelain and composite veneers. Thin shells bonded to the front of your teeth to improve their shape, size, colour and appearance suitable for correcting chips, small gaps, uneven teeth, worn enamel or permanent staining. Your dentist will discuss whether porcelain or composite is the better option for you.
Dental crowns. Crowns restore teeth that are weakened, damaged or heavily restored while also improving their appearance. Custom-made to blend with your natural teeth, they provide strength and a natural-looking result.
Composite bonding. A minimally invasive treatment using tooth-coloured resin to repair chips, reshape teeth and improve minor imperfections often in a single appointment, with little or no removal of natural tooth structure.
Clear aligners (incl. Invisalign®). For a straighter smile without traditional braces, clear aligners offer a discreet option custom-made removable aligners that gradually move teeth into position while you continue to eat normally and maintain your usual oral hygiene routine.
Dental implants. Implants provide a long term option for missing teeth, replacing both the tooth root and crown for a replacement that looks, feels and functions much like a natural tooth.
Dental bridges and dentures. For patients who aren’t suitable for implants, bridges and modern dentures offer alternative ways to replace missing teeth. Your dentist will explain the advantages of each and help you choose.
Meet our cosmetic dentistry team
Cosmetic consultations at Complete Dental Care are led by Dr Nishant Chand (BDHSc, MDent), whose focus includes cosmetic dentistry, smile makeovers and clear aligner therapy (including Invisalign). The practice is led by principal dentist Dr Adam Keyes-Tilley (BDSc Melb, FRACDS, FICCDE), with more than 30 years of clinical leadership across aesthetic, reconstructive and implant dentistry, who is often involved in combination cases and implant-based treatment. Depending on your plan, other members of our team may also contribute to your care.
Which cosmetic dental treatment is right for you?
Every smile is different, so there’s no one size fits all cosmetic treatment. Your dentist will consider several factors, including your goals, the health of your teeth and gums, tooth alignment, bone support, existing restorations, and your budget and long term expectations. In many cases, combining treatments can produce the most natural, balanced result.
Smile makeovers
A smile makeover combines two or more cosmetic treatments as part of a single plan. Depending on your goals, your personalised plan may include professional whitening, veneers, composite bonding, dental crowns, clear aligner treatment, dental implants or other tooth replacement options. Your dentist will plan each stage carefully, aiming for a result that is both natural looking and functional.

Benefits of cosmetic dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry can offer more than aesthetic improvement. Depending on the treatment, it may help improve smile confidence, brighten discoloured teeth, correct chips, cracks and worn teeth, straighten crooked or crowded teeth, replace missing teeth, improve chewing and speech, restore facial balance and support, and support overall oral health. Many cosmetic treatments also improve the strength and function of your teeth alongside their appearance. Outcomes vary from person to person and are always discussed with you in full at your consultation.
