THINGS TO KNOW
Frequently Asked Questions
What is cosmetic dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry refers to dental treatments that alter or enhance the appearance of teeth and smiles. Common examples include teeth whitening, veneers, and clear aligners.
When asking, “What is cosmetic dentistry?”, it generally relates to elective procedures focused on aesthetics, which are planned in conjunction with overall oral health.
What are the most common cosmetic dental procedures?
Cosmetic dental procedures include several elective options designed to change the appearance of teeth. Common treatments include whitening, veneers and clear aligners. Each option is considered individually after clinical assessment and discussion.
- Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening may reduce staining or discolouration. Treatment can be provided in-chair or with a take-home kit, selected after assessment of enamel condition and sensitivity considerations. - Dental Veneers
Veneers are thin shells of porcelain or composite bonded to the front surface of teeth. They may be considered to alter shape, size, or colour when clinically appropriate. - Clear Aligners (Invisalign)
Clear aligners are removable trays that gradually adjust tooth position. They may be suitable for mild to moderate alignment issues and are considered an alternative to fixed orthodontics.
Your dentist will explain available options and clinical considerations so you can decide which treatment approach is appropriate for your circumstances.
What is the difference between cosmetic and restorative dentistry?
Cosmetic and restorative dentistry have different purposes. Cosmetic dentistry primarily relates to aesthetics, while restorative dentistry focuses on restoring or maintaining function.
The table below outlines key distinctions across common treatment aspects.
| Aspect | Cosmetic Dentistry | Restorative Dentistry |
| Main Purpose | Focuses on enhancing the appearance of teeth and the overall smile | Focuses on restoring function and addressing concerns such as decay or damage |
| Common Treatments | Teeth whitening, veneers, clear aligners | Fillings, crowns, bridges, implants, and root canal therapy |
| Focus Area | Aesthetics—such as colour, shape, and alignment of teeth | Function—such as chewing, comfort, and supporting long-term oral health |
| Typical Patient Goal | Often sought to change or improve the appearance of teeth. | Primarily aimed at improving chewing, durability, and daily oral function. |
| Treatment Planning | Options are considered with reference to appearance, alongside clinical findings. | Planned on the basis of clinical assessment and functional requirements. |
| Overlap | Some procedures, such as crowns or bonding, may serve both purposes depending on context. | |
Is a dental filling considered a form of cosmetic dentistry?
In some cases, a dental filling may have both cosmetic and restorative aspects. The main purpose of a filling is to restore tooth structure and function after decay. However, the choice of material can also influence appearance.
For example, tooth-coloured composite fillings are designed to blend with surrounding teeth, offering a more natural look compared with traditional metal fillings. Your dentist can explain available material options and explain which choices may be suitable for your situation.
How much do cosmetic procedures cost?
The cost of cosmetic dental procedures can vary depending on the type of treatment, the number of procedures involved, and the materials used.
If you are considering cosmetic procedures, the following guide outlines approximate fee ranges for common cosmetic treatments:
- Comprehensive Check-Up and Clean:
The cost ranges from $245 to $385, depending on whether X-rays are included and the time required for cleaning and examination. - Composite Veneers:
The cost ranges from $455 to $820 per tooth, depending on the number of veneers required and the complexity of the case. - Porcelain Veneers:
The cost is usually between $1,700 and $2,500 per tooth, depending on the quality of the ceramic, laboratory fees, and the complexity of the design. - In-Chair Teeth Whitening:
The cost starts at $200 per tooth, depending on the whitening system used and the number of teeth involved in a single session. - Take-Home Whitening Kits:
The cost is approximately $400, depending on tray fabrication, gel strength, and the number of applications. - Dental Bonding:
The cost ranges from $260 to $465 per tooth, depending on the surface area involved. - Dental Crowns:
The cost ranges from $1,700 to $2,575 per tooth, depending on the material used, laboratory processing, and preparation needs. - Orthodontics (e.g., clear aligners):

These fee ranges are a general guide only. Actual costs will be confirmed after the clinical assessment, and a detailed, itemised quote will be provided during the consultation.
What should I avoid before dental sedation?
Some health funds may contribute towards dental treatments considered necessary for function, such as crowns or orthodontics, depending on the level of cover.
Standard policies generally do not cover procedures performed only for aesthetic purposes, such as whitening or porcelain veneers.
If you are considering cosmetic dentistry, your dentist can provide item numbers for the proposed treatments. You can then confirm directly with your health fund whether any benefits apply under your plan.
What factors affect the longevity of cosmetic dental treatments?
The longevity of aesthetic dental treatments varies widely between individuals. No procedure can be guaranteed to last a specific number of years, as outcomes depend on a combination of personal, clinical, and lifestyle factors.
- Oral hygiene
- Daily brushing and flossing help maintain teeth and restorations.
- Poor hygiene can contribute to decay, gum disease, or staining, reducing treatment longevity.
- Dietary habits
- Coffee, tea, red wine, and acidic foods can cause staining or wear.
- Hard foods, ice, or chewing non-food objects may chip or damage veneers, bonding, or crowns.
- Bite alignment and function
- Teeth grinding (bruxism) or clenching can stress restorations and shorten their lifespan.
- Dentists may recommend night guards to help protect dental work.
- Material choice and procedure type
- Some materials resist staining or wear better than others.
- All restorations can deteriorate over time and may require repair or replacement.
- Lifestyle factors
- Smoking, alcohol use, and inconsistent follow-up care can affect outcomes.
- Regular dental check-ups allow early detection of problems and maintenance planning.
Results differ for every patient. Your dentist can explain the risks, limitations, and expected outcomes of aesthetic dental treatments in relation to your personal circumstances.
Is cosmetic dentistry painful?
Discomfort during cosmetic dentistry varies depending on the procedure and the individual. Many treatments are carried out with local anaesthesia, which helps manage sensations during treatment.
For example, teeth whitening can sometimes lead to sensitivity, while veneers or bonding may involve some discomfort during preparation. Everyone responds differently, and experiences are not the same for all patients.
If you are considering cosmetic dental treatment, it is important to discuss this with your dentist. They can explain what to expect, including possible side effects, and outline the options available to support your care during and after treatment.
Do cosmetic dental treatments need ongoing care or maintenance?
Yes. Aesthetic dental treatments generally require ongoing care to support results and oral health. Procedures such as veneers, bonding, whitening, or inlays are not permanent and may need repair, adjustment, or replacement over time. Outcomes depend on individual factors such as oral hygiene, diet, bite alignment, and lifestyle habits including smoking or teeth grinding. Regular dental check-ups allow your dentist to monitor treatment and address any changes early. Your dentist will explain what to expect, including possible risks, and provide tailored advice on maintaining results through daily care and regular follow-up.
Are there any risks or side effects with cosmetic dental treatments?
Like all dental procedures, cosmetic dental treatments involve risks and side effects. These differ depending on the procedure, the materials used, and individual patient factors.
Examples may include:
- Tooth sensitivity:
Some patients experience sensitivity to hot or cold foods after whitening, veneers, or bonding. - Gum irritation:
Procedures such as whitening or gum contouring may cause gum redness or tenderness. - Chipping or breakage:
Veneers or bonding can chip if exposed to trauma, teeth grinding, or biting hard foods. - Colour variation:
The shade of veneers or bonding may not exactly match the surrounding natural teeth. - Enamel reduction:
Veneers and crowns require the trimming of enamel, which is irreversible. - Bite changes:
Restorations can affect bite alignment and may require adjustment. - Allergic reactions (rare):
Some patients may react to dental materials such as metals or resins.
When exploring cosmetic dentistry in Perth, it is important to understand that all treatments carry some risks. Your dentist will explain possible side effects and discuss appropriate options based on your circumstances.
