Cosmetic Dentistry in Mona Vale, NSW

At BMB Dental Clinic, we understand that many patients are interested in improving the appearance of their smile. Cosmetic dental treatments may be considered to address concerns, such as tooth colour, shape or alignment.

We offer a range of cosmetic dentistry options. Your cosmetic dentist in Mona Vale will assess your oral health and discuss suitable treatment options based on your individual needs and goals.

*All dental procedures carry risks and benefits. Results may vary between individuals and are not guaranteed. A full assessment is required to determine suitability for any treatment. Your dentist will explain the expected outcomes, potential risks and associated costs before proceeding.

What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry refers to a combination of dental procedures meant to restore the aesthetics of a patient’s smile. The procedures we recommend for your smile improvements will depend on your specific needs and goals. It's possible that it may be as simple as adding a couple of dental veneers or crowns to your teeth.

However, you may also require extensive dental work to achieve your smile goals. If that's the case, our skilled dentist, Dr Babak Moharrami, may perform a combination of procedures, such as Invisalign® treatment, tooth-coloured fillings, dental implants and teeth whitening.

Organising Your Treatment Plan

Dr Moharrami will thoroughly examine your teeth and gums before recommending appropriate cosmetic treatments. Then he will work closely with you to organise a treatment plan that meets your needs and achieves your smile goals.

The patient’s treatment plan is a vital part of cosmetic dentistry, and it helps us create personalised results. Therefore, we will take time during each step with the aim to keep patients informed and comfortable. 

For example, if a patient has dental fillings on their front teeth that need replacement but would also like to have whiter teeth, a possible path forward may be to whiten the teeth first and then replace the fillings. This way, we can match the colour of the fillings with the already whitened teeth. Since teeth whitening treatments don’t alter the colour of dental fillings, the results would be unpredictable if we tried to whiten the teeth after replacing the fillings.

What Cosmetic Dentistry Treatments Do You Offer?

In our Mona Vale dental practice, we often use the following procedures to make smile improvements for our patients: 

  • Philips Zoom!® teeth whitening
  • Porcelain and composite dental veneers
  • Dental implants, including mini-implants
  • Dentures
  • Dental crowns and bridges
  • Invisalign® and ClearCorrect® clear aligners
  • Traditional metal and ceramic braces
  • Tooth-coloured fillings

Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry in Northern Beaches and Mona Vale focuses on improving the appearance of your teeth while supporting overall oral health. Treatment suitability and outcomes vary depending on individual needs, however the following benefits may be achieved when clinically appropriate.
Tooth Protection
Some cosmetic treatments such as bonding or veneers can cover areas of worn or damaged enamel. This may help protect the underlying tooth structure from further wear or sensitivity.
Improved Bite Balance
Where tooth shape or length is adjusted, cosmetic treatment may assist in creating more even contact between teeth. This can support bite function and may reduce uneven pressure on certain teeth.
Support for Long-Term Maintenance
Smoother and more uniform tooth surfaces created during some cosmetic procedures may make teeth easier to clean. This can support daily oral hygiene and ongoing dental care when combined with regular check-ups.

Frequently Asked Questions

At BMB Dental Clinic, we offer safe and effective professional teeth whitening treatments to patients. Our experienced dentist oversees all bleaching treatments, whether you’re undergoing chairside or home bleaching. 

While bleaching can cause tooth sensitivity for some patients, professional bleaching services from our Mona Vale dental practice should not damage your teeth in any way. Even home bleaching kits provided by our clinic should not damage your teeth when used appropriately and as instructed. 

However, the bleach should not be used on your gums, so be careful to avoid letting it run onto your sensitive gum tissue.

Why Do My Teeth Hurt After Bleaching?

People who have a history of sensitive teeth may experience a bit of pain when their teeth are exposed to cold after bleaching. Again, this is due to tooth sensitivity. 

When you whiten your teeth, the bleaching process can open the orifice of the dentin tubules, which is the opposite of what occurs when you use toothpaste for sensitive teeth. The open orifices make your teeth sensitive to cold. 

Safe Bleaching in Mona Vale

The safest way to whiten your teeth is under the supervision of a dentist. If you're looking to achieve a brighter smile, we encourage you to contact our BMB Dental Clinic to schedule a consultation with Dr. Babak Moharrami, a trusted dentist in Mona Vale. He will oversee your teeth whitening process to ensure the best and safest results.

Both techniques have their own advantages and disadvantages, so it really depends on your preference. At BMB Dental Clinic, we offer both chairside bleaching and home bleaching kits, and we encourage our patients to choose the method that’s best for them. 

Home Bleaching vs Chairside

Chairside bleaching generally offers faster and more dramatic results, but you do have to be in the dental clinic for us to perform this service. Additionally, the whitening gel used in chairside bleaching is often more potent, which may cause some patients to have tooth sensitivity. 

Home bleaching whitening gel is less potent, meaning less tooth sensitivity in some cases. And you can repeat whitening treatments as necessary at leisure to achieve the desired shade. There’s no need to see a dentist or wait in your dentist’s clinic for results. 

With either method, patients can create a brighter smile with little effort or expense, making teeth whitening a great option for making smile improvements. 

What about Patients with Sensitive Teeth?

Patients with sensitive teeth can still whiten their teeth. However, we recommend using sensitive-reducing toothpaste for a while first to lower your tooth sensitivity as much as you can. We also recommend home bleaching in those cases since the concentration is less potent.

Teeth Whitening in Mona Vale

We take pride in helping patients achieve brighter smiles through our professional teeth whitening services in Mona Vale. Whether you prefer a chairside treatment or an at-home option, contact our experienced team for assistance in choosing the best approach to meet your needs.

Cosmetic Dentistry Technology

laser dentistry in mona vale

Laser Dentistry

Dentists can use laser dentistry to perform a range of dental procedures, including cosmetic treatments. Laser dentistry is also popular for treating gum disease. Dentists must undergo advanced training to perform laser dentistry, and when performed properly, it's safe and can be very effective.

With laser treatments, patients may enjoy a shorter healing time and less bleeding than would occur with a scalpel or other traditional dental tools. The dental laser may also help patients feel more comfortable and relaxed during the procedure since there is no noise involved, as there would be with a drill, for example.
