Cosmetic Dentistry Brisbane City

While your dental health should be a top priority, the appearance of your smile is also important. Though people spend vast sums of money on clothes, shoes, and other personal identifiers, your face is the first thing most people notice about you. So why not highlight it with a bright and radiant smile? If that's what you wish to see in the mirror, we're here to help. 

If you are near Brisbane CBD or surrounding areas, including Fortitude Valley, Spring Hill, New Farm, Teneriffe, Bowen Hills, Milton, Rosalie, Paddington, and beyond, we invite you to contact Edward St Dental about cosmetic dentistry.

We offer a range of cosmetic dental treatments that can repair or enhance any teeth that could benefit from improvement. The experienced team at Edward St Dental is excited to share how we can work together to create beautiful smiles.

Discover Smile through Our Digital Smile Book

Cosmetic dentistry at Edward St Dental starts with a consultation to see what you like about your current smile. We encourage you to consider the aspects of your smile and where you'd most like to see improvement, whether repairing chipped teeth, a chipped or broken tooth, or damaged tooth enamel. We recommend you keep a list of celebrity smiles you admire so we can see what you're visualising for yourself with your smile makeover.

After your cosmetic dentistry consultation in Brisbane, Dr Matthew Pulvirenti and his team will develop a treatment plan with procedures that will fulfil your goals. We will also consider your priorities, such as time and budgetary constraints. This plan may consist of one or even a host of treatments, ranging from a complete digital smile design.

Porcelain veneers provide a highly aesthetic cosmetic dentistry solution where the strength of the underlying tooth is already sound. They cover the front surface of teeth and can be used on a single tooth instead of a crown when aesthetics alone is the treatment objective.

The following conditions are correctable with porcelain veneers:

• Chips
• Cracks
• Gaps
• Minor misalignments
• Damaged or diminished enamel
• Discolouration

Porcelain veneers are also regularly used to cover six to ten teeth or the number visible when smiling.

Dental veneers are a popular, low-maintenance choice. Very little preparation is required for your existing teeth. As a result, you will see an enhanced, natural-looking smile and benefit from a strengthened tooth structure when choosing a porcelain restoration.

So, while veneers fix imperfections on a tooth's front surfaces, we use porcelain inlays to replace lost or damaged tooth structures. An inlay is especially useful for repairing damage in your tooth grooves, which are located more in the tooth's centre than the sides. Inlays are a moderate restoration, somewhere between a filling and a dental crown. So, if a crown reconstructs a severely broken tooth, an inlay can rebuild a somewhat broken down tooth.

We place a porcelain inlay into a tooth rather than over it. In this way, a porcelain inlay preparation requires less removal of the natural tooth than a crown preparation. The outcome of a porcelain inlay and crown is to restore a tooth that has suffered damage by infection or breakage.

In some situations, where a tooth is severely fractured, or too injured for a tooth-coloured filling, veneer, or inlay to address, Dr Pulvirenti may suggest a dental crown that completely covers the damaged tooth. At Edward St Dental, we can offer CEREC same-day crowns to finish your restoration in one appointment.

An important thing to note is that some natural tooth structure must remain to shore up a dental crown. Without a head, a hat has nothing upon which to rest. So, we recommend a dental implant as the best restoration where a tooth cannot support a crown.

A dental implant is a marvel of modern dental technology that replaces a tooth from the root to the crown. The process begins with a titanium screw that mimics the roots of a tooth and is surgically installed into your jawbone. After surgery, your body undergoes a healing process called osseointegration, where the bone grows all around the implant, creating the most durable and permanent replacements available.

The advantage of porcelain tooth restorations like crowns, veneers, and inlays is that they dramatically revitalise the colour and structure of your smile. In exchange for that immediate improvement, the procedures are more involved and, in most cases, irreversible. However, if you're more concerned with the whiteness and brightness of your smile and your teeth are in good condition, you may benefit from professional teeth whitening.

Our Edward St Dental team uses high-quality products to ensure predictable, consistent outcomes, as evidenced by our professional before-and-after photos. Additionally, we offer a professional cleaning before your whitening session to remove any tartar or plaque, enhancing the effectiveness of the whitening agents. Just relax and enjoy the excellent patient care and amenities at Edward St Dental!
