If you’re not happy with the appearance of your smile, the best person to talk to is a dentist. Cosmetic dentistry treatments provided by a professional dentist can enhance the appearance of your teeth and often have other benefits too, such as improving their strength and function or lowering your oral health risks.
At EVP Dental, our experienced dentists offer cosmetic dentistry in East Vic Park to address a wide range of concerns including:

Tooth bonding can cover up small imperfections on the surfaces of teeth, such as minor chips and cracks and some stains. It can also be used to smooth rough edges of teeth or to close spaces between teeth.
Bonding can usually be completed in a single visit. The treatment involves applying a thin layer of composite resin, the same material used in dental fillings, to target areas of the tooth. Our dentist will match the resin to the surrounding tooth colour for a seamless finish.
Porcelain veneers are strong, natural-looking restorations that can be bonded to the front of teeth to transform their appearance. A close match to natural tooth enamel, porcelain veneers have similar translucent and light-reflecting qualities, and are custom made by a skilled ceramist to be a perfect fit.
Porcelain veneers cost more than composite veneers, but they can also last twice as long before they need to be replaced, as they’re resistant to damage and stains. Preparation for veneers involves removing a thin layer of enamel so the veneer isn’t too bulky.
Composite veneers are made from composite resin and applied directly to the tooth by our dentist. This is the same material used in bonding, but a veneer covers a whole tooth rather than a small part of a tooth to change its overall appearance or alignment.
A more affordable alternative to porcelain veneers, we may recommend composite veneers for teeth that are less visible and aren’t subject to strong biting forces that could damage the material. Your veneers could still last 5–7 years on average with proper care.
Teeth whitening uses bleaching gels to remove pigments from teeth and brighten their appearance by several shades. We offer two options for teeth whitening in East Vic Park: in-office whitening provided by our dentist using the Philips ZOOM!™ system or a custom whitening kit to use in your own home.
Professional home whitening involves nightly applications over one to two weeks. Home whitening kits use a lower concentration of bleaching agent compared to in-chair whitening, meaning they are suitable for people with sensitive teeth. You can also control the level of whiteness and touch up as and when you like. We provide custom-fitted whitening trays to prevent gum burns and advise you how to use them safely and for the best possible results.
Invisalign clear aligners can be a more discreet and comfortable alternative to traditional braces for straightening teeth. These ‘invisible’ aligners are custom made to fit over your teeth and can be taken out when you eat and brush. Like braces, they apply gentle pressure to guide teeth into alignment over a set period of time.
We offer two options for Invisalign® in East Vic Park: standard Invisalign, which typically costs from $8,320, and Invisalign GO for more minor corrections, starting from $3,000. Invisalign® may not be suitable if you have more complex orthodontic issues.
A dental bridge is a prosthetic tooth that ‘bridges’ the gap where a tooth has been lost or needs to be removed. They’re designed by our dentist and skilled ceramist to fit comfortably and seamlessly between your natural teeth, and to look and function like the real thing.
A bridge can replace a single tooth or two to three adjacent teeth as needed. A three-unit bridge is supported by crowns fitted over the two neighbouring teeth. A bridge can also be supported by dental implants.
Dental implants replace the roots of missing teeth in the jaw bone to provide a strong and stable foundation for bridges or dentures. This improves the biting forces of artificial teeth, making them as close to natural teeth as possible. Implants also stimulate the underlying bone tissue, which helps prevent bone loss and shrinking of the jaw.
Placing dental implants involves a minor surgical procedure. Dental implants at EVP Dental are designed by a skilled dental technician and placed by experienced dentists using the latest techniques and high-quality materials.
Dentures are a cheaper option than an implant bridge for replacing teeth. Whether you want to replace a single tooth, several missing teeth or all of the teeth in your upper or lower jaw, modern dentures are designed to look as natural as possible.
Our dentures in East Vic Park are made from high-impact acrylic or cobalt chrome to stand up to wear and tear, but they will need ongoing repairs and relining every few years, along with daily cleaning. If you want more support for your dentures, we also provide implant-retained dentures.
Our dentists at EVP Dental help people of all ages to address cosmetic concerns and improve the health and appearance of their smiles. We’ll listen to your needs and treatment goals, and we’ll make sure you know all your options so you can make informed decisions that you’re happy with.

Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner. Invisalign® aligners are a registered medical device, always read and follow the label and instructions from your dentist.
