From veneers to teeth whitening, our cutting-edge dental technologies provide innovative ways to transform and elevate your smile.
Mona Vale Dental and Implant Centre, the Northern Beaches' award-winning cosmetic dental clinic, strives to rejuvenate smiles. With a variety of treatments available, it’s best to consider all the options cosmetic dentistry offers. Consider this your ultimate guide to cosmetic dentistry!
Cosmetic dentistry refers to any dental work that alters the original shape, size, colour, or positioning of the teeth, gums, and mouth. These changes aim to improve the look and feel of the mouth. This is one of the most popular areas of dentistry as it gives people the confidence to express themselves through smiles.
Cosmetic dentistry can correct many concerns, including missing or crooked teeth, discoloured or stained teeth, and white spots. It can also help with misshapen, damaged, or decayed teeth and teeth that break or chip easily. Lastly, cosmetic dentistry can amend teeth that appear smaller than what you might prefer.
Choosing cosmetic dental treatment can greatly enhance your self-image. Here are some benefits:

Like with a custom-made suit, smile makeovers are meticulous and designed with your needs and goals in mind at all times. The process begins with:
Delivered in less time, and with a ‘lighter’ touch than traditional smile makeover treatments, Lite Dentistry provides stunning, high-impact results. Compared to a full smile makeover, Lite Dentistry is relatively more affordable and minimally invasive.
We straighten your teeth and fix any small issues, like minor overcrowding or gaps. We do this using Invisalign® clear aligners, which move the teeth quickly, comfortably, and safely into their new positions.
Changes to the shape, size, and colour of your teeth are done through treatments like composite veneers, teeth whitening, or gum contouring. We can lighten your teeth by up to eight shades in just over an hour using the Philips Zoom teeth whitening system.
At Mona Vale Dental, we offer cosmetic dental procedures to address various aesthetic concerns. Our team of experienced cosmetic dentists in Northern Beaches uses the latest techniques and technologies to ensure you achieve the smile of your dreams.
Braces can be considered cosmetic dentistry. Straightening teeth with braces serves a practical function (correcting a bite), but it also improves aesthetics. Unlike braces, Invisalign® can be removed during the treatment phase, making them a more flexible option.
Dr Alistair Graham and Dr Chase Gatland are experienced cosmetic dentists in Australia who provide Invisalign® at our Sydney practice. They can also refer you to a specialist orthodontist if more extensive treatment is required.
Dental costs can be a hurdle for many, and we understand they can cause concern for some of you. At Mona Vale Dental, we strive to provide affordable smile makeovers with flexible payment plans, helping reduce financial stress.
The type of treatment affects the cost. For example, it’s between $3,000 and $7,000 per tooth for a dental implant procedure. There are many factors, like materials used, that also affect cost. At Mona Vale Dental, our payment plans are flexible, meaning full upfront payments are not required.
Private medical insurance might cover part of dental treatments. This depends on the level of coverage and other factors. We can provide the health insurance item number for the treatment you have in mind, so you can ask your provider if you’re covered.
Generally, dental care in Australia isn’t covered by Medicare. But feel free to contact us about health fund rebates and HICAPS, which allow you to only pay for the gap in costs (also known as “no gap”).
At Mona Vale Dental, patients can pay for cosmetic dental treatment with our interest-free and flexible dental payment plans. This lets you have their procedures straight away, without full upfront fees. Setting up a plan with us involves:

Some risks are involved in minimally invasive procedures, but these are rare in the hands of qualified and experienced dentists. Your dentist will talk you through potential side effects, so you can make an informed decision about whether you’d like to proceed with elective treatment.
Mild cases can be managed with traditional scaling or root planing, or masked with a more innovative non-surgical procedure that places special veneers over the gums. In some other cases, minor cosmetic dental surgery on the gums can help. Reach out to a cosmetic dentist at our practice to discuss the best treatment option for you.
Very! This is one of the main reasons people seek cosmetic dentistry. Depending on the procedure, the issue of crowned teeth can be resolved for life. Non-surgical and surgical options are broad. These include aligners and Invisalign®, orthodontics, cosmetic recontouring, porcelain veneers, crowns and bonding, and dental implants.
Yes, cosmetic dental implants are designed to look just like natural teeth. In fact, they feel so real that you’ll likely forget they aren’t your own. Beyond improving the appearance of your smile, implants are an excellent and permanent solution for replacing damaged or missing teeth, seamlessly blending with your natural teeth for a flawless, lasting result.
Veneers are porcelain or composite facings that are bonded over the front of teeth to improve their shape, colour, size, and orientation. These porcelain “masks” have similar strength and resilience to enamel and can last for more than 10 years if maintained correctly. Veneers can also help hide discolouration and repair gaps.
The healing time for cosmetic dentistry procedures depends on the specific treatment. Most treatments, like teeth whitening or bonding, require little to no recovery time. More intensive approaches, such as dental implants, may need a few months for complete healing.
