Blog Coburg Dental Group

Are you looking for a cosmetic dentist Melbourne? Whilst we understand exactly what you mean by asking this, the Dental Board of Victoria and The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) does not permit dentists to call themselves “cosmetic dentists” because it is not a regulated dentist speciality.

Restoring your smile to the beautiful smile which you’ve always wanted and given you the self-confidence which you deserve is what we do at Coburg Dental Group. We would love to call ourselves the best cosmetic dentist in Melbourne but we can’t. We can, however, tell you about all the treatments which we can do for you.

TWe understand any proposed treatment takes careful consideration and thought over whether any type of dentistry is right for you. We want you to be confident that the treatment you want is right for you and will give the desired results. This holds true for the various treatments to improve the appearance of your teeth and smile or what you may call “Cosmetic Dentistry”.

We offer an initial consultation to ensure you will receive the right treatments for your specific needs and create a specific, individualised plan for all patients at our Melbourne clinic. We will detail the various treatments including a firm quote for your consideration.

Porcelain Veneers

Matching to the natural shade of your teeth, porcelain veneers are a popular option and can improve the look of your smile dramatically. Our highly skilled technicians can incorporate a natural translucency, or character lines and irregularities so that a more natural look can be achieved for you. If you would like whiter veneers you may also need a tooth whitening procedure first.

White Fillings

We can offer white fillings, a highly durable composite filling material, that is strong and highly aesthetic. Giving a much more natural look than traditional silver-mercury amalgam fillings, our white fillings are shaped like a natural tooth and result in a great overall appearance. We can also replace old existing amalgam (silver/black) fillings to our white fillings if you wish to do so. Coburg Dental Group is very fortunate to have Dr Christina Jovanovic who has undertaken additional training in composite aesthetic fillings. She is available for a consultation by calling (03) 9386 1805.

Porcelain White Crowns

Our porcelain white crowns can help achieve a more natural look to match the rest of your teeth if you have any existing cracked or discoloured teeth. At Coburg Dental Group, we can ensure this looks as natural as possible by using materials such as Emax, porcelain-fused-to-metal and zirconia. Most of our porcelain or white crowns are performed in one visit using the state-of-the-art Cerec system.

Braces

At Coburg Dental Group, we can offer you a range of options for braces (orthodontics) to help to straighten your teeth. These can be dependent on different factors that will be checked during your initial consultation.

Dr Matthew Siebel at Coburg Dental Group has been treating our orthodontic patients for many years and until recently was teaching orthodontics in Sydney to dentists.

Braces options we have include clear aligners like Invisalign and the conventional wires and tooth coloured brackets. Sometimes a removable plate is all that it required. We will help choose the most suitable option depending on how much movement is required.

Teeth Whitening

One of the most requested and performed cosmetic treatments is teeth whitening, for anyone looking to achieve that aesthetically pleasing smile. This treatment will brighten up your smile significantly, give you self-confidence and give a younger & healthier appearance in a short treatment time. We have three different types of teeth whitening available including home whitening trays worn during the day, home whitening trays worn while you sleep at night and Zoom in-chair whitening which is undertaken in one visit in our clinic.

Our aim is to give our patients a beautiful smile with minimal damage to the natural tooth structure, offering state of the art treatments to achieve long-lasting results and retain strength and function of the teeth. We offer a no-obligation consultation so that you can be assured the best option is provided for you and have many clients who have had beautiful results.

Some patients may need more complex treatment plans and we strongly believe functionality needs to be retained above just a beautiful appearance. For example, maintaining a comfortable bite when eating and speaking is a crucial factor and is one of the areas checked during the consultation. We will design a ‘mock-up of your smile so that you can see the end results once the treatment is completed.

Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
