The most important decision you have to make is choosing the right Cosmetic Dentist.

Why choose an LVI trained cosmetic dentist?

Here in Australia it is very important to be aware that Cosmetic Dentistry is not a specialty.

Any dentist can call themselves a Cosmetic Dentist, even when they haven't had specific training in cosmetic dentistry.

Dental Implants Balwyn are experts in Cosmetic Dentistry.

Dr Dentist has completed advanced training at the Institute for Advanced Dental Studies, a world renowned post graduate school for advanced dental education based in the United States.

These LVI cosmetic dentists are among the best, most experienced dentists found anywhere in the world.

From over 10,000 dentists throughout Australia and New Zealand - there are fewer than 150 LVI trained Cosmetic Dentists.

Cosmetic Dentistry is all about making people look and feel good about themselves and improving their self confidence.

Teeth that are discolored, worn, crooked, chipped,  spaced, overlapped or old dentistry that is obviously not "real", can all add up to create a smile that just doesn't reflect the way the person feels on the inside.

With today’s technology, materials and a highly trained teams of dentists and ceramists here at Dental Implants Balwyn we are able to provide you with a beautiful natural smile which will probably be beyond your wildest expectations.

When selecting a cosmetic dentist ask about his/ her credentials.

Most have web sites these days where you can find out where and when they graduated, how many additional courses or training they have undertaken since their graduation.

A good cosmetic dentist should be proud to show off their work and be willing to show a photo album of “before and after” pictures of actual patients smiles that they have completed.

Are the smile pictures hanging on the surgery walls pictures of happy patients or paid for generic photos?

Some people simply want to look younger, and cosmetic dentistry is like a dental faceliftthat can quickly "reverse" the natural aging process of the teeth. Many patients have had unattractive teeth their whole lives and have always felt self-conscious because of them. They will rarely smile, which can often hide a warm side of their personality.

Dental Implants BalwynPorcelain Veneers

Porcelain Laminate Veneers, or simply "veneers", are custom-made porcelain wafers that the dentist places over the fronts of the teeth to enhance their appearance and also to repair damage. Veneers can dramatically change a person's smile and help improve their self-confidence. In the 1920's and 30's, actors, actresses and other performers would often go to the extreme measure of having their teeth extracted and dentures made to improve their smile

Dental Implants Balwyn Veneers can be used to improve a wide variety of cosmetic dental problems. They can whiten stained or discoloured teeth, close gaps between teeth, "correct" a crooked smile without the need for braces, repair chips and imperfections, and create a more attractive or youthful looking smile. The procedure usually involves removing only a thin amount of the outermost layer of the tooth, called the enamel. The dentist then takes moulds of the mouth. Temporary veneers are then placed for the patient to wear while the permanent veneers are being made. The procedure usually takes between one and a half and two hours.

Next, the laboratory carefully crafts the porcelain into veneers. In about two weeks, the veneers are ready for the dentist to fasten to the fronts of the teeth. This process improves the teeth's appearance and strength.

Dental Implants BalwynTooth whitening

Tooth whitening involves the use of peroxide-based materials to whiten teeth. Before tooth whitening, the patient should get all cavities filled, and the gums must be healthy. The in-office systems use 35% hydrogen peroxide gels coupled with a high intensity light to whiten the teeth. The gums need to be protected with some systems, and then gels are placed on the teeth. A laser or plasma arc light source activates the peroxide to oxidize stains on the tooth surface. In about an hour, the teeth become four to six shades lighter.

At-home systems most often use 10 to 20% carbamine peroxide gels to oxidize stains. The dentist makes impressions of the mouth, and then has soft mouth trays made. The patient is fitted with the trays, and then is instructed to place a thin ribbon of the gel into the tray and wear while sleeping. Most whitening occurs in one to two weeks. In difficult cases, trays may need to be worn for up to six weeks. I have found that a combination of in-office and at-home systems works the best, and routinely achieve 12 to 15 shades of whitening. The procedure is safe when monitored by a dentist, and does not damage the tooth in any way.

White fillings (resin, bonding) or porcelain crowns (caps) and bridges will not whiten significantly with either method. Some patients will experience minor tooth sensitivity during whitening procedures. The dentist can remedy this by alternating concentrated fluoride with the peroxide in the mouth trays.

Store bought bleaching systems are not as effective as dentist-managed systems. Unsupervised use of store-bought bleaching systems can cause painful sensitivity to untreated dental cavities. The mouth trays are not custom made, which can cause gum irritation, and the peroxides are not as strong or effective.
