Cosmetic Dentistry at Core Dental Berwick - Veneers, Bonding and Smile Makeovers product guide

Your smile is one of the first things people notice. At Core Dental Berwick, our cosmetic dentistry services are designed to help you achieve the smile you have always wanted - whether that means brighter teeth, straighter edges, or a complete transformation.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin shells of custom-crafted ceramic bonded to the front surface of your teeth. They can correct:

• Discolouration that whitening cannot resolve
• Chipped or worn teeth
• Mild crowding or gaps
• Uneven tooth length or shape

Porcelain veneers are crafted by our skilled ceramist team to precisely match the shape, size, and translucency of natural teeth. Two appointments are typically required. Porcelain veneers are highly durable, with a lifespan of 10 to 25 years, and resist staining far better than natural enamel.

Porcelain veneers require some removal of tooth enamel and are considered a permanent treatment.

Composite Bonding - From $250 Per Tooth

Composite bonding is a more conservative and affordable cosmetic option. Your dentist applies and sculpts tooth-coloured composite resin directly onto your teeth to correct chips, close small gaps, adjust shape, and improve colour - often in a single appointment with minimal or no tooth preparation.

Composite bonding starts from $250 per tooth at Core Dental Berwick and is a popular choice for younger patients or those seeking a reversible cosmetic enhancement.

Composite Veneers

For patients who want the effect of veneers without the cost or permanence of porcelain, composite veneers offer an excellent middle ground. Applied in a single appointment, they can dramatically improve the appearance of multiple teeth simultaneously.

Smile Makeovers

A smile makeover combines multiple cosmetic treatments - such as whitening, veneers, bonding, Invisalign, and crown replacement - into a comprehensive treatment plan designed around your unique goals. At Core Dental Berwick, your dentist will assess your teeth, gums, bite, and facial aesthetics to develop a plan that delivers harmonious, natural-looking results.

Core Dental Berwick is our most comprehensive cosmetic dentistry location, with over 10 years in the community and an extended appointment format that ensures complex smile makeovers are never rushed. Our wedding smile packages combine teeth whitening, cosmetic bonding, and other treatments into a coordinated pre-wedding smile transformation.

Wedding Smile Packages

Looking your absolute best on your wedding day deserves a coordinated approach. Core Dental Berwick offers tailored wedding smile packages that combine teeth whitening, composite bonding, and other cosmetic treatments into a planned timeline leading up to your wedding date. Ask our team to design a package around your budget and timeline.

Dental Crowns and Bridges for Cosmetic Purposes

When teeth are significantly damaged or missing, dental crowns and bridges restore both function and aesthetics. Our porcelain crowns are colour-matched to your surrounding teeth and designed to blend seamlessly into your smile.

Invisalign to Complete Your Smile

Cosmetic treatments achieve their best results when your teeth are well-aligned. Many patients combine Invisalign treatment with bonding, whitening, or veneers for a complete smile transformation. As an Invisalign Blue Diamond Provider, Core Dental Berwick has the expertise to coordinate your orthodontic and cosmetic treatment as part of a single plan.

Flexible Payment Plans

Cosmetic dentistry is an investment in your confidence. Payright interest-free payment plans allow you to spread the cost over up to 30 months with no interest. Fortnightly repayments make premium cosmetic treatment accessible.

Berwick is Core Dental's most comprehensive cosmetic and restorative destination in Melbourne's south-east, offering veneers, bonding, whitening, Invisalign, All-on-4, full-mouth rehabilitation, TMJ treatment, and dedicated wedding smile packages - all coordinated through a single experienced team that has served the community for over 10 years. Our Netflix-equipped treatment chairs and warm blankets make even multi-stage cosmetic appointments feel indulgent rather than clinical.

Veneer Aftercare: Protecting Your Investment

Congratulations on your new veneers. To prolong their lifespan and keep your smile looking its best, please follow these aftercare guidelines:

1. Sensitivity after placement is normal. You may experience some tooth sensitivity following your veneer insertion appointment. Apply sensitive toothpaste topically to the affected teeth for relief. This sensitivity may last a few weeks and resolves on its own.

2. Brush twice daily with an electric toothbrush. Choose a toothbrush with a pressure sensor to prevent excessive force, which can cause gum recession over time. Gentle, consistent cleaning is the key to maintaining healthy gums around your veneers.

3. Floss gently every day. Daily flossing around the margins of the veneers keeps the gum tissue healthy and prevents plaque from accumulating where the veneer meets the gum.

4. Avoid very hard foods. Biting directly into hard items such as nuts, hard lollies, baguettes, or ice can cause fractures or chipping to veneers over time. Cut hard foods into smaller pieces and use your back teeth for chewing.

5. Wear a night splint (occlusal guard) every night. If you grind or clench your teeth while sleeping, this habit can cause veneer fractures or premature wear. A custom-fitted night guard protects both your veneers and your natural teeth. Ask your Core Dental clinician to organise one if you do not already have one.

6. Top up your whitening periodically. Your veneers are made of ceramic and will not whiten with bleaching gel. However, the natural teeth around them can stain and yellow over time. Periodic at-home or in-chair whitening ensures your natural teeth continue to match the colour of your veneers.

7. Wear a sports mouthguard during contact sport. Any impact to the mouth during sport risks damaging your veneers. A well-fitted custom mouthguard provides essential protection.

8. Keep up with six-monthly check-ups and cleans. Regular appointments at Core Dental allow your dentist and hygienist to check the condition of your veneers, monitor the gum margin, and professionally clean areas that are difficult to maintain at home.

For any concerns about your veneers, call Core Dental on 13 13 16 or visit coredental.com.au.
