Cosmetic Dentist in Perth

Composite veneers start from $300–$450 per tooth and porcelain veneers start from $1,200–$1,400 per tooth at Perth City Dental. Whitening, Invisalign, smile makeovers and crowns are quoted after the initial consultation because the cost depends on the number of teeth and complexity. You receive a written treatment plan with itemised pricing before treatment begins.

Most health funds offer partial rebates on cosmetic dental treatments under their extras cover, particularly on whitening, veneers and crowns. Perth City Dental is a preferred provider for HBF, Bupa and HCF, which means a higher rebate for patients with extras cover from those funds. Coverage levels vary by fund and policy — we can check your exact entitlement before treatment begins.

Some cosmetic treatments are completed in a single visit — composite veneers, in-chair whitening, and tooth-coloured fillings can all be done same day. Porcelain veneers take two appointments over approximately two weeks. Invisalign takes several months depending on the case. A full smile makeover combining multiple treatments is typically scheduled over four to six weeks.

Modern cosmetic dentistry is designed to be conservative. Composite veneers are largely additive and minimally invasive. Porcelain veneers require a small amount of enamel preparation. Whitening uses peroxide-based gels which can cause temporary sensitivity but don't damage enamel when applied correctly. The clinical assessment at your free consultation is where we check your teeth and gums are healthy enough for cosmetic treatment.

Yes — many patients do. A common smile makeover sequence is whitening first to set the shade, then veneers on the upper front teeth so the porcelain matches the now-brighter natural teeth, then a polish at the final review. Sequencing matters — veneers don't change colour once made, so whitening has to happen first.

Results last for years when you look after them, but nothing dental is truly permanent. Porcelain veneers can last 10–20 years with diligent care. Composite veneers typically last 4–8 years. Whitening can be topped up at home to maintain shade. Crowns can last decades. Home care and regular check-ups make the biggest difference to longevity.

Most cosmetic dentistry treatments are not painful. Composite veneers and in-chair whitening are done without anaesthetic. Porcelain veneer preparation is done under local anaesthetic so the appointment is comfortable. Some patients experience mild tooth sensitivity after whitening or veneer preparation, which usually settles within a few days.

General dentistry covers the care that keeps teeth healthy — check-ups, cleans, fillings, gum disease treatment, extractions, root canals, emergency dentistry. Cosmetic dentistry covers treatments that improve how teeth look — veneers, whitening, Invisalign, smile makeovers, cosmetic crowns. Most patients use both.

The free 15-minute consultation is built for this. Bring photos of smiles you like (or don't like), tell us what bothers you when you look in the mirror, and we'll walk you through which combination of treatments could give you the result you want. No obligation — many patients come for the consultation, go away to think, and book weeks or months later.

We're at 5/105 St Georges Terrace, on Level 5, in the heart of Perth's CBD. Easy to reach from anywhere in central Perth or surrounding suburbs, with a designated drop-off zone on William Street and wheelchair-friendly access throughout.
