Transform your smile with advanced cosmetic dental treatments
Your smile is one of the first things people notice about you. If you're unhappy with the appearance of your teeth, cosmetic dentistry can help you achieve the confident, radiant smile you've always wanted. At K-Family Dental in Chatswood, we combine artistic vision with advanced dental techniques to create beautiful, natural-looking results.
Cosmetic dentistry goes beyond just improving aesthetics - it can boost your self-confidence, enhance your professional image, and even improve oral function. Whether you're looking to fix a single imperfection or desire a complete smile makeover, our experienced team offers personalized treatment plans tailored to your unique goals and budget.
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored porcelain that cover the front surface of teeth. They're an excellent solution for correcting:
Veneers can dramatically transform your smile in just two visits, providing results that look incredibly natural and can last 10-15 years with proper care.
Dental bonding uses tooth-colored composite resin to repair and enhance teeth. It's a versatile, cost-effective treatment for:
Bonding can often be completed in a single appointment and requires minimal tooth preparation.
Our professional whitening treatments can brighten your smile by several shades, removing stains caused by coffee, tea, wine, smoking, and aging. We offer both in-office whitening for immediate results and take-home kits for gradual whitening at your convenience.
A comprehensive smile makeover combines multiple cosmetic treatments to address all aesthetic concerns. Your personalized plan may include a combination of veneers, bonding, whitening, crowns, or orthodontics to create your ideal smile.
We begin with a comprehensive consultation to understand your goals and concerns. We'll examine your teeth, discuss what you'd like to change, and explain which treatments can achieve your desired results. Digital smile design technology may be used to preview potential outcomes.
Based on your goals, budget, and timeline, we'll create a personalized treatment plan. We'll explain each procedure in detail, including expected results, timeline, and costs. You'll never feel pressured - we want you to make an informed, confident decision.
Depending on your chosen treatments, this may involve tooth preparation, impressions, temporary restorations, or same-day procedures. We use modern techniques to ensure your comfort throughout the process.
Once your restorations are ready, we'll carefully place them and make any necessary adjustments to ensure perfect fit, function, and appearance. You'll leave our office with a smile you're proud to show off.
We'll provide detailed care instructions and schedule follow-up appointments to ensure your cosmetic work remains beautiful for years to come.

Regular dental visits are essential to maintain your cosmetic results:
The longevity of cosmetic treatments varies by procedure. Porcelain veneers typically last 10-15 years, composite bonding lasts 5-10 years, and professional teeth whitening can last 1-3 years depending on diet and habits. With excellent oral hygiene and regular dental visits, many patients enjoy their cosmetic results for even longer periods.
Most cosmetic procedures are minimally invasive and cause little to no discomfort. For treatments requiring tooth preparation, like veneers, we use local anesthesia to ensure you feel no pain during the procedure. Some patients experience mild sensitivity after treatment, which typically resolves within a few days. Many cosmetic treatments, such as teeth whitening and bonding, require little to no anesthesia.
Most dental insurance plans consider cosmetic procedures elective and don't provide coverage. However, if a treatment also improves function or oral health (such as crowns or bonding to repair damaged teeth), partial coverage may be available. We recommend checking with your insurance provider. At K-Family Dental, we offer various payment plans to make cosmetic dentistry affordable and accessible.
Yes! Even severely damaged or discolored teeth can be transformed with cosmetic dentistry. Porcelain veneers can cover dark stains that don't respond to whitening, and full coverage crowns can restore teeth with extensive damage. During your consultation, we'll assess your teeth and recommend the best approach to achieve your desired results.
Both veneers and bonding improve the appearance of teeth, but they differ in materials, durability, and cost. Veneers are custom-made porcelain shells that are more durable, stain-resistant, and natural-looking, lasting 10-15 years but costing more. Bonding uses composite resin applied directly to teeth, can be completed in one visit, costs less, but is more prone to staining and may last only 5-10 years. We'll help you choose the best option based on your needs and budget.
Results vary based on your starting shade and the type of staining. Most patients see improvement of 4-8 shades. Yellow or brown stains respond best to whitening, while gray stains (from medications like tetracycline) may require veneers for optimal results. In-office whitening provides immediate dramatic results, while take-home kits offer gradual whitening over 2-3 weeks. We'll assess your teeth and provide realistic expectations during your consultation.
Absolutely not! There's no age limit for cosmetic dentistry. Whether you're in your 20s or your 80s, if you're unhappy with your smile, we can help. In fact, many of our cosmetic patients are mature adults who want to look as young as they feel. As long as your teeth and gums are healthy, you're a candidate for most cosmetic procedures. A beautiful smile can take years off your appearance and boost your confidence at any age.
Choosing the right shade is a collaborative process between you and our team. We'll consider factors like your skin tone, facial features, natural tooth color, and personal preferences. We use shade guides and may take photos to help you visualize different options. The goal is to create a natural-looking result that enhances your appearance. For veneers, we can create sample restorations to preview before final placement. Most patients choose shades that are bright and white but still look natural.
