Cosmetic treatment often involves several appointments and ongoing maintenance, so having a practice close to home or work can help. Here is what to consider.
What to look for
- A registered dentist; you can check at ahpra.gov.au.
- A full examination before treatment is recommended.
- Clear information about risks, alternatives, maintenance and cost.
- A written quote and time to consider it.
- Easy access for reviews and follow-up care.
Treatments you may discuss
- Teeth whitening: lightens natural teeth; results vary and fade, and sensitivity is common.
- Veneers: change the look of selected teeth; usually irreversible and need eventual replacement.
- Crowns: cover damaged teeth; involve removing tooth structure.
- Bridges: replace missing teeth using neighbouring teeth.
- Implants: replace missing teeth; involve surgery and its risks.
