What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of your teeth, gums and bite while often enhancing function as well. Common reasons patients seek cosmetic treatment include discolouration, misalignment, worn edges, gaps and missing teeth.

Popular Cosmetic Treatments at Bundall Dental
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made porcelain or ceramic shells bonded to the front of the teeth to improve their colour, shape and size. Each veneer is shade-matched to the surrounding teeth with the aim of a natural-looking result. Treatment usually takes two visits: one to prepare the teeth and take impressions, and a second to fit the finished veneers. A thin layer of enamel is usually removed first, so the treatment cannot be reversed. Porcelain resists staining well, and with good care veneers can last 10 to 15 years or more. Find out more about how long porcelain veneers last.
Professional Teeth Whitening
In-chair Zoom whitening lightens teeth in a single appointment, while take-home trays offer gradual whitening over a few weeks. Both use professional-strength gel applied under a dentist’s supervision. Health funds generally pay little or nothing towards whitening. See how in-chair Zoom and at-home whitening compare.
Cosmetic Bonding
Tooth-coloured composite resin is shaped over chips, cracks or uneven edges, usually in one visit. It is an affordable way to refresh a single tooth or address small flaws. Find out how long composite bonding lasts.
Tooth-Coloured Fillings (Amalgam Replacement)
Older silver amalgam fillings can be replaced with tooth-coloured composite fillings that are shade-matched to your natural teeth. Replacement is usually considered when an old filling is worn, cracked or failing, or when you would prefer a filling that blends in more closely. Your dentist will assess each filling before recommending whether it needs replacing.
Orthodontic Assessment and Referral
Orthodontic solutions like Invisalign can suit some cases of crowding or spacing. We offer an orthodontic assessment and basic recommendations, and can refer you to an orthodontic specialist for treatment, guiding you through the first steps so you understand your options.
Custom Smile Makeovers
Where several concerns need attention, treatments such as whitening, bonding and porcelain veneers can be combined and staged to suit your goals and budget. Where orthodontic treatment may help as a first step, we can assess this and arrange a referral to an orthodontic specialist
