  "content": "## Cosmetic Dentistry at Core Dental Bayside\n\nYour smile is one of the first things people notice - and one of the things that most affects how confident you feel. Core Dental Bayside opens in June 2026 at 973 Nepean Hwy, Bentleigh VIC 3204, bringing the Core Dental Group's cosmetic dentistry expertise to the Bayside, Bentleigh, and Brighton corridor for the first time.\n\n---\n\n## Led by Dr Andres Aguirre\n\nCosmetic dentistry at Core Dental Bayside is led by **Dr Andres Aguirre**, an experienced general dentist with a strong focus on smile aesthetics and restorative excellence. Dr Aguirre brings a meticulous approach to cosmetic treatment planning - understanding that a great smile result requires careful attention to colour, shape, proportion, and how a restoration interacts with the face as a whole.\n\nPatients 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.\n\n---\n\n## Cosmetic Dental Services at Core Dental Bayside\n\n### Teeth Whitening\n\nProfessional whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic treatments - and for good reason. 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.\n\n**Whitening from $475.** A dental assessment is required to confirm suitability before whitening begins.\n\n### Composite Veneers and Composite Bonding\n\nComposite 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 an ideal option for patients who want a visible improvement without the commitment of porcelain veneers.\n\n**Composite bonding from $250 per tooth.** Results are immediate and the process is fully reversible.\n\n### Porcelain Veneers\n\nPorcelain 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 beautifully natural, durable result that lasts 10-25 years with proper care.\n\nPorcelain veneer pricing at Core Dental Bayside is quoted at consultation, as 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.\n\n### Dental Crowns\n\nWhen a tooth is heavily damaged, discoloured, or misshapen, a dental crown restores it to full function and appearance. Crowns are custom-designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth in colour, shape, and translucency.\n\n### Invisalign\n\nA 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.\n\n### Smile Makeovers\n\nA smile makeover is a personalised combination of cosmetic treatments designed around your specific goals, facial features, and timeline. Dr Aguirre works with each patient to develop a treatment plan that achieves the result they are looking for - whether that is a single procedure or a staged programme.\n\n---\n\n## The Bayside Difference\n\nCore Dental Bayside fills a genuine gap in the corridor stretching from Moorabbin to Brighton. For residents of Bentleigh, Brighton, Cheltenham, Moorabbin, and the surrounding Bayside suburbs, accessing the quality of cosmetic care that has historically required a trip to the Melbourne CBD is about to become much more straightforward.\n\nThe Bayside practice features:\n- 5 surgeries (opening with 3 from June 2026)\n- 8 dedicated ground-floor parking spaces - pull in and walk straight in\n- Planned hours: Monday to Friday 8:00 am - 6:00 pm | Saturday 8:30 am - 1:30 pm\n\n---\n\n## Pricing at a Glance\n\n| Treatment | Guide Price |\n|---|---|\n| Teeth whitening (in-chair) | from $475 |\n| Composite bonding | from $250 per tooth |\n| Porcelain veneers | quoted at consultation |\n| Invisalign Express | from $4,400 |\n| Invisalign Lite | from $7,800 |\n| Invisalign Comprehensive | from $11,300 |\n\nAll prices are guides.

Dr Andres Aguirre leads the cosmetic dentistry offering and provides complimentary consultations for new cosmetic patients.\n\n**How much does teeth whitening cost at Core Dental Bayside?**\nProfessional in-chair whitening starts from $475. Take-home whitening kits are also available. A dental assessment is required before whitening begins to confirm suitability - this is included in the pre-treatment consultation.\n\n**Can I get porcelain veneers at Core Dental Bayside?**\nYes - porcelain veneers are available at Core Dental Bayside. Pricing is quoted at consultation because the investment varies based on the number of teeth and complexity of treatment. A complimentary consultation with Dr Aguirre will give you a clear picture of what is involved and what it will cost.\n\n**What is the difference between composite bonding and porcelain veneers?**\nComposite bonding uses tooth-coloured resin applied directly to the tooth in a single appointment - from $250 per tooth, minimal preparation, and fully reversible. Porcelain veneers involve custom laboratory-crafted shells bonded over two appointments - more durable (lasting 10-25 years), more lifelike in appearance, but a larger investment and requires some irreversible tooth preparation. Your dentist will recommend the best option based on your clinical situation and goals.\n\n**Is there parking at Core Dental Bayside?**\nYes - 8 dedicated ground-floor parking spaces are reserved exclusively for Core Dental patients. The practice is at 973 Nepean Hwy, Bentleigh, at the corner of South Road and Nepean Highway.

To prolong their lifespan and keep your smile looking its best, please follow these aftercare guidelines:\n\n1. **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.\n\n2. **Brush twice daily with an electric toothbrush.** Choose a toothbrush with a pressure sensor to prevent excessive force, which can cause gum recession over time. Gentle, consistent cleaning is the key to maintaining healthy gums around your veneers.\n\n3. **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.\n\n4. **Avoid very hard foods.** Biting directly into hard items such as nuts, hard lollies, baguettes, or ice can cause fractures or chipping to veneers over time. Cut hard foods into smaller pieces and use your back teeth for chewing.\n\n5. **Wear a night splint (occlusal guard) every night.** If you grind or clench your teeth 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 do not already have one.\n\n6. **Top up your whitening periodically.** Your veneers are made of ceramic and will not whiten with bleaching gel. However, the natural teeth around them can stain and yellow over time. Periodic at-home or in-chair whitening ensures your natural teeth continue to match the colour of your veneers.\n\n7. **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.\n\n8. **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.\n\nFor any concerns about your veneers, call Core Dental on **13 13 16** or visit coredental.com.au.",
