Cosmetic dentistry covers treatments whose main purpose is to change the shape, colour or position of teeth. Some adults choose cosmetic dental treatment to change the shape, colour or position of their teeth. Cosmetic treatment is elective. Whether any treatment is appropriate depends on your oral health, your teeth and bite, and your own preferences; it is not necessary for healthy teeth and it is reasonable to decide against it. At a consultation your dentist will examine your teeth, discuss what you would like to change, explain the options (including doing nothing), and outline the risks, limitations and costs of each.
Some treatment plans combine more than one procedure — for example orthodontics, whitening, veneers or crowns. Each procedure has its own risks and limitations, and your dentist will explain them, and the alternatives, before you decide. Read the risks and considerations.
Fees depend on the treatment and the case. Current North Ryde Dentistry prices are below; you’ll receive a written quote before any treatment begins.
Prices current at October 2026.
Teeth whitening. Take-home whitening $449 (custom trays and gel); in-chair whitening $649. Results vary with the cause of discolouration and whitening does not change fillings, crowns or veneers. A dental examination is required first.
Veneers. Composite veneers are shaped directly on the tooth in resin; porcelain veneers are made in our group’s ceramic laboratory and usually involve removing a thin layer of enamel, which is permanent. Composite veneers start from $700 per tooth and porcelain veneers from $1,490 per tooth; your fee depends on the number of teeth and is confirmed in a written quote after a consultation.
Dental implants. An implant replaces the root of a missing tooth and supports a crown. At North Ryde Dentistry a dental implant with a CEREC crown starts from $5,500 per tooth; bone grafting or other procedures, if needed, are quoted separately. Implant surgery carries risks — see our risks and considerations.
Invisalign. Clear, removable aligners used to move teeth gradually. Not all cases are suitable. Treatment ranges from $4,200 to $8,990 depending on how complex your case is; the fee is confirmed after an assessment.
