Dr Li customises cosmetic treatment plans based on your individual needs.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Thinking about changing the way your smile looks? Dr Li and his team offer personalised cosmetic dentistry to help you get there. At St Anthony Dental, every cosmetic treatment starts with a tailored plan, because every patient's needs are unique.

Dr Li can also expedite certain cosmetic dental procedures, such as porcelain crowns and veneers, thanks to our in-house dental lab, which allows him to offer same-day treatment in some cases.

Cosmetic Dentistry at St Anthony Dental

Whether you’re looking to brighten your smile with professional teeth whitening, or you have more complex concerns like bite alignment, Dr Li is well-equipped to help you achieve your goals. Here are a few of the procedures he might recommend for your personalised treatment plan:

Porcelain veneers — Porcelain veneers cover the entire front surface of your tooth. This helps improve the colour, shape, or alignment of your smile.
Porcelain crowns —A crown is designed to cover the entire tooth. Where required, porcelain crowns simultaneously provides strength for biting and chewing, and also enhances the aesthetics of your smile.
Professional teeth whitening — We offer both in-chair and custom take-home teeth whitening in Five Dock for your convenience.
Composite veneers — Like porcelain veneers, composite veneers cover the entire front surface of your tooth. The difference is a tooth-coloured resin material is used instead of porcelain.
Composite bonding — A tooth-coloured resin material is applied directly to the tooth, on the precise spot that needs treatment. Composite bonding is suitable for minor flaws such as small chips, gaps, or subtle colour changes.
Clear aligners — We can use custom plastic aligners to gently straighten teeth without the hassle of wearing braces.

What Problems Can Cosmetic Dentistry Fix?

When you improve the aesthetics of your teeth, it also means you’ll enjoy non-cosmetic benefits, like better chewing function and easier home care. Here are some of the smile concerns that cosmetic dentistry in Five Dock can fix.

Tooth Durability

Correcting tooth alignment with clear aligners can improve the long-term durability of your teeth.

Tooth Discolouration

Professional teeth whitening can eliminate stains and discolouration.

Smile Symmetry

Changing the size and shape of your teeth with veneers can improve the symmetry of your smile.

Crooked Teeth

We use clear aligners to straighten teeth, so you don’t have to wear braces.

Broken Teeth

We can repair chipped or broken teeth with veneers or crowns.

Missing Teeth

Dental implants can replace one or multiple missing teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Professional teeth whitening is generally considered safe when carried out under the guidance of a dental professional. Dr Li assesses your oral health before recommending any whitening treatment, as this helps reduce the risk of complications.

Preparing for Professional Teeth Whitening in Five Dock

Before starting treatment, we check for issues like tooth decay, gum disease or exposed roots, since whitening products may not suit teeth with these underlying concerns. We also review your dental history and discuss your expectations, so we can recommend an approach that suits your individual circumstances.

Professional Teeth Whitening vs Over-the-Counter Products

Professional whitening differs from over-the-counter products, as our treatments are tailored to each patient and monitored throughout the process. This oversight allows Dr Li to adjust the treatment if needed and address any concerns quickly.

It's worth noting that whitening results vary among individuals and depend on factors such as the original tooth colour and the cause of staining. Whitening also doesn't work on dental restorations like crowns or veneers, so these may need separate consideration.

If you're considering teeth whitening, a consultation with our team is the best place to start. Dr Li can talk you through what to expect, address any questions and help determine whether whitening suits your needs.

How Can I Get Started?

The best way to learn more about the possibilities for your smile is to book an evaluation with Dr Li. He will use the time to understand your needs and smile goals while he gathers information about your smile.

You will leave your evaluation with a clear understanding of your treatment needs and options. We’ll also share timelines for finishing your new smile, as well as estimates of costs.

You can request a visit to St Anthony Dental online or talk with a team member on (02) 9055 5441 to schedule.
