Core Dental Group Cosmetic Dentistry – Southbank
Your smile is often the first thing people notice about you. At Core Dental Group's Southbank practice, the cosmetic dentistry services are built around helping you get there - whether that means brighter teeth, straighter edges, or a complete transformation.
Porcelain veneers
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin shells of custom-crafted ceramic bonded to the front surface of your teeth. They can correct discolouration that whitening can't resolve, chipped or worn teeth, mild crowding or gaps, and uneven tooth length or shape.
Each veneer is crafted by a skilled ceramist team to precisely match the shape, size, and translucency of your natural teeth. Two appointments are typically required. Veneers are highly durable, lasting anywhere from 10 to 25 years, and resist staining far better than natural enamel.
Worth knowing: porcelain veneers require some removal of tooth enamel, so they're considered a permanent treatment.
Composite bonding – from $250 AUD per tooth
Composite bonding is a more conservative and affordable option. Your dentist applies and sculpts tooth-coloured composite resin directly onto your teeth to correct chips, close small gaps, adjust shape, and improve colour - often in a single appointment with minimal or no tooth preparation.
Starting from $250 AUD per tooth, composite bonding is a popular choice for younger patients or anyone after a reversible cosmetic enhancement.
Composite veneers
For patients who want the effect of veneers without the cost or permanence of porcelain, composite veneers sit comfortably in the middle. Applied in a single appointment, they can improve the appearance of multiple teeth at once.
Smile makeovers
A smile makeover pulls together multiple treatments - whitening, veneers, bonding, Invisalign, crown replacement - into a single plan built around your goals. At Core Dental Group Southbank, your dentist assesses your teeth, gums, bite, and facial aesthetics to develop something that looks natural and works long-term.
The Southbank team includes Dr Shakiba Askary and Dr Sally Joseph, who specialises in treating anxious patients. The practice itself is calm and unhurried - a deliberate contrast to the busy city precinct just outside.
Dental crowns and bridges for cosmetic purposes
When teeth are significantly damaged or missing, crowns and bridges restore both function and appearance. Porcelain crowns are colour-matched to your surrounding teeth so they sit naturally within your smile.
Invisalign to complete your smile
Cosmetic treatments tend to work best when your teeth are well-aligned to begin with. Many patients combine Invisalign with bonding, whitening, or veneers for a more complete result. As an Invisalign Blue Diamond Provider, Core Dental Group Southbank can coordinate your orthodontic and cosmetic treatment within a single plan.
Flexible payment plans
Cosmetic dentistry is a real investment, and Payright interest-free payment plans make it more manageable. You can spread the cost over up to 30 months with no interest, repaid fortnightly.
The Southbank practice is a short walk from the Yarra River, the arts precinct, and the Eureka Tower. Early morning consultations are available for professionals who'd rather book before the working day starts. Call 13 13 16 to talk through timing.
