Core Dental Group cosmetic dentistry at Core Dental Bayside

Your smile is one of the first things people notice, and one of the things that most affects how confident you feel. Core Dental Group brings its cosmetic dentistry expertise to the Bayside, Bentleigh, and Brighton corridor for the first time, with Core Dental Bayside opening in June 2026 at 973 Nepean Hwy, Bentleigh VIC 3204.

Led by Dr Andres Aguirre

Cosmetic dentistry at Core Dental Bayside is led by Dr Andres Aguirre, an experienced general dentist with a strong focus on smile aesthetics and restorative work. Dr Aguirre is AHPRA-registered and an ADA member. He takes a careful approach to cosmetic treatment planning, understanding that a great smile result depends on colour, shape, proportion, and how a restoration interacts with the face as a whole.

Patients coming to Core Dental Bayside for cosmetic dentistry can expect thorough upfront consultations, clear treatment options, and written itemised quotes before any work begins. No pressure, no surprises.

Cosmetic dental services at Core Dental Bayside

Teeth whitening

Professional whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic treatments, and it's easy to see why. Zoom! in-chair whitening takes approximately 90 minutes and can lighten teeth by up to 8 shades in a single session. Custom take-home whitening kits are also available, using tailored trays and professional-grade whitening gel for gradual, comfortable lightening at home.

Whitening from $475. A dental assessment is required to confirm suitability before whitening begins.

Composite veneers and composite bonding

Composite veneers and bonding use tooth-coloured resin to correct chips, close small gaps, reshape uneven edges, and address discolouration. Treatment is completed in a single appointment with minimal tooth preparation, making it a good option for patients who want a visible improvement without committing to porcelain veneers.

Composite bonding from $250 per tooth. Results are immediate and the process is fully reversible.

Porcelain veneers

Porcelain veneers are the gold standard for significant smile transformations. Custom-crafted ultra-thin porcelain shells are bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth, creating a natural, durable result that lasts 10–25 years with proper care.

Porcelain veneer pricing at Core Dental Bayside is quoted at consultation, because the investment varies based on the number of teeth involved and the clinical complexity of each case. Treatment involves two appointments, and a complimentary consultation lets you explore your options without any obligation.

Dental crowns

When a tooth is heavily damaged, discoloured, or misshapen, a dental crown restores it to full function and appearance. Crowns are custom-designed to blend with your natural teeth in colour, shape, and translucency.

Invisalign

A straight, aligned smile is the foundation of any cosmetic result. Core Dental Group is an Invisalign Blue Diamond Provider, the highest provider tier in Australia, reflecting 750+ Invisalign treatments completed per year across the group. Invisalign is available at Core Dental Bayside from day one.

Invisalign pricing:

• Invisalign Express: from $4,400
• Invisalign Lite: from $7,800
• Invisalign Comprehensive: from $11,300

Smile makeovers

A smile makeover is a personalised combination of cosmetic treatments built around your specific goals, facial features, and timeline. Dr Aguirre works with each patient to develop a treatment plan that achieves the result they're looking for, whether that's a single procedure or a staged programme.

The Bayside difference

Core Dental Bayside addresses a real gap in the corridor stretching from Moorabbin to Brighton. For residents of Bentleigh, Brighton, Cheltenham, Moorabbin, and the surrounding Bayside suburbs, getting the quality of cosmetic care that has historically meant a trip to the Melbourne CBD is about to become a lot more convenient.

The Bayside practice features:

• 5 surgeries total (opening with 3 surgeries from June 2026)
• 8 dedicated ground-floor parking spaces – pull in and walk straight in
• Planned hours: Monday to Friday 8:00 am – 6:00 pm | Saturday 8:30 am – 1:30 pm

Veneer aftercare: protecting your investment

To prolong the lifespan of your veneers and keep your smile looking its best, follow these aftercare guidelines:

1. Sensitivity after placement is normal. You may experience some tooth sensitivity following your veneer insertion appointment. Apply sensitive toothpaste topically to the affected teeth for relief. This sensitivity may last a few weeks and resolves on its own.

2. Brush twice daily with an electric toothbrush. Choose one with a pressure sensor to prevent excessive force, which can cause gum recession over time. Gentle, consistent cleaning is what keeps the gums around your veneers healthy.

3. Floss gently every day. Daily flossing around the margins of the veneers keeps the gum tissue healthy and prevents plaque from accumulating where the veneer meets the gum.

4. Avoid very hard foods. Biting directly into hard items such as nuts, hard lollies, baguettes, or ice can cause fractures or chipping over time. Cut hard foods into smaller pieces and use your back teeth for chewing.

5. Wear a night splint (occlusal guard) every night. If you grind or clench while sleeping, this habit can cause veneer fractures or premature wear. A custom-fitted night guard protects both your veneers and your natural teeth. Ask your Core Dental clinician to organise one if you don't already have one.

6. Top up your whitening periodically. Your veneers are ceramic and won't whiten with bleaching gel. However, the natural teeth around them can stain and yellow over time. Periodic at-home or in-chair whitening keeps your natural teeth matching the colour of your veneers.

7. Wear a sports mouthguard during contact sport. Any impact to the mouth during sport risks damaging your veneers. A well-fitted custom mouthguard provides essential protection.

8. Keep up with six-monthly check-ups and cleans. Regular appointments at Core Dental allow your dentist and hygienist to check the condition of your veneers, monitor the gum margin, and professionally clean areas that are difficult to maintain at home.

For any concerns about your veneers, call Core Dental Group on 13 13 16 or visit coredental.com.au.
