We always welcome your call to arrange an appointment at our Clifton Hill, VIC, dental clinic, and we warmly welcome new patients.

We Offer Professional Teeth Whitening

Professional teeth whitening is a simple and non-invasive cosmetic procedure. It can help lighten the appearance of natural teeth affected by staining.

In-office whitening typically takes about an hour, and results vary depending on the cause and depth of discolouration. Take-home whitening kits with custom-fitted trays are also available for gradual whitening at home.

Some people may experience temporary sensitivity. Your dentist will discuss aftercare and expected results before starting treatment.

There are several reasons why patients tend to be happier with teeth whitening at our Clifton Hill, VIC dental clinic over products purchased in shops.

  • We offer both in-house and take-home teeth whitening options depending on our patients’ goals for their smiles. In-house teeth whitening at our Clifton Hill, VIC top dentist will provide up to several shades of improvement in about one hour in the dental chair.

Take-home teeth whitening utilises custom trays to keep professional-strength whitening gel where it belongs—on your teeth. Trays are reusable for at-home touch-ups any time.

Tooth-Coloured Dentistry

Until recent decades, dentistry usually left a mark on your smile. Modern fillings, veneers, crowns, bridges, and dental implants now blend in with your smile using modern tooth-coloured materials such as ceramic and composite. Our dentists will custom-match the shade of your dentistry to your natural teeth for a seamless result.

Tooth-coloured fillings provide a natural look for taking care of tooth decay. Modern restorative materials such as ceramic and composite allow fillings, crowns, and veneers to blend naturally with surrounding teeth. These materials are durable and tooth-coloured, offering an aesthetic alternative to traditional metal restorations. Made of a composite material, tooth-coloured fillings at our Clifton Hill, VIC dental clinic are strong and durable. They are less likely to cause tooth fractures as do metal amalgam fillings.

The same material we use for tooth-coloured fillings is also ideal for a procedure we call cosmetic dental bonding. Dental bonding at our Clifton Hill, VIC dental clinic is great for making repairs to teeth—even at the front of the mouth. Cosmetic bonding uses tooth-coloured composite to repair small chips or gaps. It’s typically completed in a single visit and can be a more affordable alternative to veneers for minor cosmetic concerns.

For teeth that have more extensive damage, a dental crown can restore the form and function and allow for comfortable chewing. Dental crowns are made to match the look and colour of the adjacent teeth, and are often used to strengthen a tooth that has been weakened by a root canal.

Dental Veneers

Veneers are thin, custom-made restorations that cover the front of teeth to enhance colour, shape, and uniformity. They can be made from composite or ceramic materials, depending on your goals and budget. Ceramic veneers are more durable and stain-resistant, while composite veneers may be completed more quickly.

Many of the perfect smiles you see on your favourite celebrity may be the result of cosmetic dental procedures such as veneers.

Cosmetic Braces with Invisalign

Clear aligners such as Invisalign* offer a discreet way to address mild to moderate tooth misalignment. Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean and maintain, which may help support long-term oral health.
