Our teeth naturally experience wear over time, and this can sometimes lead to small chips or discolouration. If you’re considering ways to address minor cosmetic concerns, there are minimally invasive dental options that may help improve the appearance of your smile. Here’s what you should know.
Options to Refine Your Smile
Dental Bonding in Narre Warren, VIC
Our dentists can use the same composite material as dental fillings to make minor cosmetic adjustments where appropriate. Composite resin can be used to address concerns such as:
- Small gaps between teeth
- Certain types of staining or discolouration
- Minor chips
- Mild size discrepancies
- General surface wear
During the procedure, the resin is placed on the tooth, shaped to suit your smile, custom shaded, and polished. In many cases, dental bonding can be completed in one visit at our Narre Warren dental clinic. It is generally a less costly option compared with crowns or porcelain veneers, which are created in a dental laboratory.
Composite veneers are fairly durable and may last several years with the right care and routine dental check-ups.
Professional Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening may lighten the appearance of natural teeth for suitable patients.
At Melbourne Dental Vision, we offer two options:
- In-chair whitening — Treatment is completed in our dental clinic, and can provide noticeable changes for some people in a single appointment.
- Take-home whitening kits — Customised with impressions we take of your teeth, which allows you to whiten your teeth gradually at your convenience.
Results for professional teeth whitening vary depending on factors such as your tooth structure and the type of discolouration.
