A smile is the prettiest thing you can wear, and we’re passionate about improving the aesthetics of your teeth to display the brightest, most confident version of you.

At Toorak Dental Studio, we have a strong focus on cosmetic smile design, and building tailored, upfront treatment plans that achieve the aesthetic goals of our clients. Our commitment to ongoing training in this field has led us to gain a reputation as one of the most trusted cosmetic dentists in Toorak, Melbourne, providing the highest quality of dental care and beautiful results.

There’s more to cosmetic dentistry than just aesthetics; we can also adjust your teeth to improve functionality, helping you to chew and talk more easily, and improving your bite. The qualified dentists at TDS work closely with our patients to understand their goals, so we can put together a personalised treatment plan that includes the most effective processes within cosmetic dentistry. This could include fitting Invisalign braces to discreetly straighten the teeth, and laser whitening or porcelain veneers to achieve that coveted “Hollywood smile” look that’s naturally beautiful.

Certain cosmetic dental treatments are covered by most private health insurance policies. These treatments must fall under the “major dental” category, and it means patients may be able to reduce their out-of-pocket costs when enhancing their smile.

While coverage varies from fund-to-fund, cosmetic treatments that generally fall under this category include things like crowns, veneers and dental implants. Check with your insurer to find out what you’re covered for.

Depending on the severity of your receding gums, cosmetic dentistry may be able to fix or improve the problem, which occurs when gums push back towards the root of the teeth and expose parts of your teeth that aren’t protected by enamel.

If you have a minor case of gum recession, cosmetic dental care can fix or reduce the appearance of the problem. For more severe cases, you may need cosmetic surgical solutions. Your dentist will be able to assess your unique case to determine the best course of action for you.

The advantages of cosmetic dentistry go beyond aesthetics; the field also helps to improve the functionality of the mouth. Patients with an overbite often seek alternative options to oral surgery - and there are cosmetic treatments that can fix or reduce overbites.

Depending on your individual condition, we may be able to use braces, porcelain veneers or dental implants to fix an overbite. For more severe conditions, patients may need to explore surgical routes.

Crooked teeth can hugely knock a person’s confidence, but there are multiple cosmetic fixes to achieve a perfectly aligned smile you’re proud of. The most effective treatment to straighten teeth depends on the patient’s mouth, but your dentist will also take into account your personal preferences when assessing the right solution.

Invisalign uses a series of aligners to straighten your own teeth over a set period of time, and offer a more discrete option compared to traditional braces. Porcelain veneers are another popular option - with some patients needing a combination of the two treatments.
