Shape a Confident Smile Through General Cosmetic Dentistry

A dentist who keeps teeth healthy and a dentist who improves how they look do not have to be two different people. Box Hill North Dental brings both together through general cosmetic dentistry, led by Dr Indran Shan. 

Where General Care Ends and Cosmetic Care Begins 

General dentistry covers check ups, cleans, fillings and other repairs. Cosmetic dentistry looks at colour, shape and proportion. It refines a smile that is already healthy. Smile design looks at how teeth, lips and face fit together. The two sit side by side in one practice, which keeps the whole plan coordinated. 

How a Cosmetic Plan Takes Shape 

A cosmetic plan usually moves through four stages: 

• An accurate diagnosis of teeth and gums 
• Study of facial and dental aesthetics 
• Open discussion of treatment options and costs 
• Treatment carried out in stages where suitable 

Common Cosmetic Options 

A consultation can cover several treatments: 

• Teeth whitening to lift discolouration from the surface 

• Veneers to address chips, gaps or uneven shape 

• Bonding for small refinements to tooth shape 

• Smile makeovers that combine several treatments
