Not sure which cosmetic dentistry treatment is right for you? We’ll explain your options clearly, so you can decide at your own pace.
Maybe you’ve been thinking about whitening your teeth. Perhaps you’ve noticed a chipped tooth, or you’re considering dental veneers but aren’t sure what’s right for you. The good news is you don’t have to arrive knowing which treatment you need for your desired smile.
We’ll take the time to explain your options, answer your questions, and talk through the considerations for each cosmetic treatment, so you have a clear understanding of what’s possible. The decision is always yours.
Sometimes it’s hard to know where to begin. Here’s a simple guide to the cosmetic dentistry treatments we offer at Smyl Dental.
Put the sparkle back into your smile with professional Zoom! teeth whitening. Choose from in-chair or take-home treatment, depending on what suits you best.
Looking for quicker results? Our Zoom! in-chair whitening treatment uses a professional-strength whitening gel to noticeably lift stains and discolouration in a single appointment. Throughout your treatment, your gums and surrounding soft tissues are carefully protected for a comfortable experience.
Prefer to whiten at home? Our take-home kits include custom-made whitening trays and a professional-grade whitening gel, so you can brighten your smile gradually over one to two weeks. It's a flexible option that fits easily into your routine while still delivering professional-quality results.
Looking to improve the shape, size or colour of one or more teeth?
Composite veneers can also help disguise small chips, minor gaps and uneven edges, creating subtle changes while preserving what makes your smile yours.
Treatment involves carefully applying a tooth-coloured composite resin directly to the surface of your teeth. The material is then gently shaped and polished to blend with your surrounding teeth. In most cases, only minimal to no preparation of the natural tooth is required.
Small chip? Minor gap? Uneven edge?
Dental bonding is a simple, conservative treatment that uses a tooth-coloured composite resin to repair and reshape teeth, creating a smoother, more even appearance.
The resin is carefully applied, shaped and polished to blend with your natural teeth. In many cases, treatment can be completed in a single appointment, making it a convenient option for small changes to the appearance of your teeth.
Cosmetic dental treatment is personal. So we keep the experience calm, clear and unhurried, with comfort measures, modern technology and appointment times that fit around your lifestyle.
Settle in. Ask questions. Talk through your options. Take your time deciding.

We offer flexible payment options to help make achieving your dream smile more affordable. We accept all major private health funds through HICAPS, and if you prefer to spread the cost of your treatment, we also offer a range of flexible, interest-free payment plans.
Both treatments use a tooth-coloured composite resin to improve the appearance of your teeth, but they're used a little differently. Dental bonding is often used to repair small chips, cracks or gaps, while composite veneers cover the front surface of a tooth and can change its shape, size or colour. If you're not sure which is the better fit, we'll explain the differences and why one may be more suitable than the other.
The cost of teeth whitening depends on whether you choose our in-chair Zoom! treatment or a take-home whitening kit. During your appointment, we'll explain both options, what's included and the current pricing, so you can choose the one that suits you best.
If you want fast stain removal or teeth whitening results, in chair treatment is ideal. Professional teeth whitening can noticeably reduce many common stains caused by things like coffee, tea, red wine and smoking in a single appointment. Take-home whitening is a great option if you'd rather whiten your teeth gradually over one to two weeks.
Often, yes. Small chips, worn edges and minor gaps can often be improved with dental bonding or composite veneers. The best option depends on what you'd like to change, which is why we'll always assess first before making a recommendation.
No. Composite veneers are made from a tooth-coloured resin that's carefully shaped directly onto your teeth, while porcelain veneers are custom-made in a dental laboratory. With porcelain veneers, the tooth is shaped and a thin layer of enamel is removed. This process is irreversible. At Smyl Dental, we offer composite veneers as a more conservative way to improve the appearance of your smile in suitable cases.
Trying to decide between veneers vs bonding? Both treatments use a tooth-coloured composite resin, but they're designed for slightly different purposes. Dental bonding is often used to repair small chips, cracks or gaps, while composite veneers cover the front surface of a tooth and can change its shape, size or colour. We'll talk you through the differences and explain which option is likely to make the most sense for you.
With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, composite veneers and dental bonding can last for many years. How long they'll last depends on things like where they're placed, your bite and everyday habits such as nail biting or using your teeth to open packaging. We'll also show you how to care for them at home to help them last as long as possible.
Absolutely. Not every cosmetic concern needs multiple treatments. Sometimes professional teeth whitening is all that's needed. Other times, a small repair with dental bonding or a composite veneer can make the difference you're looking for. We'll help you understand the options without recommending more treatment than you need.
Most cosmetic dental treatments are more comfortable than many people expect. If you're visiting Smyl Dental to explore cosmetic dentistry in Augustine Heights, we'll also talk through ways to help you feel more relaxed during your appointment. From TVs and music to IV sedation for suitable patients, there are plenty of options to help make your visit as comfortable as possible.
That depends on your smile goals and what's possible based on your oral health. For some people, a single treatment such as professional teeth whitening or dental bonding may be all that's needed.
Others may require a more comprehensive smile makeover involving a combination of treatments, such as composite veneers, porcelain veneers, crowns, orthodontics or teeth whitening.
During your cosmetic dentistry consultation, we'll take the time to understand your goals, assess your teeth and explain the options that may be suitable for you, so you can make an informed decision without ever feeling pressured.
You don’t need to have it all figured out before you book. Tell us what prompted you to explore cosmetic dentistry, and we’ll take it from there.
