Cosmetic Dentist in Nundah, QLD
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on the appearance of teeth and restorations while considering overall oral health and function. At Nundah General & Emergency Dental, Dr Legin provides cosmetic dental assessments and treatment planning based on each patient's clinical needs and circumstances.
We believe that any cosmetic journey should start with a solid foundation. All cosmetic treatment options are discussed following a comprehensive examination to ensure oral health considerations are addressed before aesthetic procedures are undertaken, because a beautiful smile should also be a healthy one.
A Considered Approach to Cosmetic Dental Care
Choosing cosmetic dental treatment is a personal decision, and it's not something to rush. Dr Legin takes time to discuss your concerns, explain available options and outline relevant considerations such as treatment scope, limitations and alternatives.
Cosmetic procedures are only recommended where they are clinically appropriate and oral health is stable. Treatment planning is based on individual factors including tooth structure, gum health and bite relationships. We're here to help you make choices that work for you, not to push treatments you don't need.
Cosmetic Dental Services at Nundah General & Emergency Dental
Cosmetic dental options available at our Nundah dental surgery may include:
Porcelain Crowns and Veneers
Custom restorations used to improve the appearance and structure of teeth affected by damage, wear or discolouration. Veneers are thin restorations bonded to the front surface of teeth, while crowns cover the entire tooth.
Composite Veneers and Bonding
Composite resin may be used to address minor cosmetic concerns such as chips, gaps or discolouration. This approach generally involves minimal tooth preparation and is completed directly on the tooth surface.
Professional Teeth Whitening
Take-home whitening systems may be offered following an assessment. Custom trays and whitening gel are provided with instructions for use. Whitening outcomes vary depending on individual response to treatment.
Dental Implants
Dental implants may be considered for replacing missing teeth where clinically appropriate. Implants involve a surgically placed component and a custom dental restoration to replace one or multiple missing teeth.
Full Mouth Reconstruction
In cases involving complex dental concerns, a comprehensive treatment plan may be developed that combines multiple procedures. This approach considers oral function, restoration requirements and overall dental stability.
Frequently Asked Questions
Cosmetic dentistry may be right for you if you're unhappy with the appearance of your smile and would like to explore options for improvement. Perhaps you're concerned about discoloured, chipped, misaligned or missing teeth, or you simply feel your smile doesn't reflect how you want to present yourself. If any aspect of your smile affects your confidence or causes you to hold back in social or professional situations, cosmetic dentistry could offer solutions worth considering.
At Nundah General & Emergency Dental, all cosmetic dental treatments begin with a consultation—a chance to sit down, talk things through and explore what's possible. This is an opportunity to discuss your concerns, goals and expectations with Dr Legin in a relaxed, no-pressure environment. During this appointment, options are discussed in detail and you're encouraged to ask questions to support informed decision-making. There's no such thing as a silly question when it comes to your smile.
The consultation also allows Dr Legin to assess your oral health, as certain conditions may need to be addressed before cosmetic work can proceed. Fees, treatment stages and alternatives are explained during your consultation, so you know exactly what to expect. We accept all major health funds and can discuss payment arrangements where relevant.
Ultimately, the decision is entirely yours. Cosmetic dentistry is about enhancing your smile in a way that feels right for you—not meeting anyone else's standards. If you're curious about what might be possible, booking a consultation is a simple first step with no obligation to proceed.
Technology and Treatment Planning
Modern dental equipment is used to assist with assessment, planning and delivery of care. The use of contemporary technology supports diagnostic accuracy and procedural planning where appropriate, helping us develop treatment plans that are both realistic and tailored to your situation.
