Cosmetic Dentistry
A beautiful smile is gorgeous to behold, but did you know it may also be one of your most significant assets? A new study finds that three-quarters of people surveyed base their first impressions on a person's smile. In addition, more than six in ten find those who smile to be more trustworthy, confident, and approachable.
This can impact not only success in your personal life but also your professional prosperity. In this age of social media and digital photography, researchers conclude that 'your smile has more of an effect on what others perceive about you than you think.'
At GoldCity Dental Centre, we agree that healthy teeth and a vibrant smile are worthwhile endeavours, and we welcome those interested in cosmetic dentistry to enhance and improve their appearance. Dr Girish and his team have the expertise and the technical know-how to provide a range of cosmetic dental procedures to address minor teeth flaws up to a full smile makeover.
We Are an Affordable Charter Towers Cosmetic Dentist
One common misconception we often hear at GoldCity Dental Centre is that all cosmetic dentistry is expensive. Those patients are pleasantly surprised to learn that many of our approaches will fit neatly into any budget. For example, both teeth whitening and dental bonding are simple procedures that can make a dramatic difference in your appearance.
Our team is committed to your smile satisfaction, so we customise our approach for each individual. For example, if you're just getting acquainted with cosmetic dentistry, we can offer the least-invasive treatments so you can sample the outcome. And for patients with ambitious smile goals, we can assemble a personalised plan to combine treatments to provide the best results. We achieve this through digital smile design and complete smile makeovers.
Try Your New Smile with Digital Smile Design
Have you ever wanted to sample a new smile before committing to permanent alterations? Digital Smile Design makes this dream a reality! Our cosmetic dentists use photographs, digital impressions, x-rays and colour-matching software to produce a "practise" smile. This allows our patients to preview outcomes before we order or create your final restorations.

Our Menu of Cosmetic Dental Procedures
Professional Teeth Whitening
We offer the most prominent professional teeth whitening available today. You may choose from chairside teeth whitening in our dental practice with a take-home follow-up kit. We use light-accelerated Zoom! Whitening for our in-house option that can remove years of stains in about one hour. You can continue brightening your teeth at home with custom, take-home teeth bleaching kits. We create whitening trays in our in-house MiniSTAR machine. Your trays will keep the whitening gel on your teeth and away from your gums.
Dental Bonding
Another way to correct surface flaws and tooth stains is to conceal them, and cosmetic bonding is an affordable and convenient option. We use bonding to reshape existing tooth structures using the same composite material that resolves dental cavities. So dentists can fix the tooth with this durable resin material if you have narrow gaps or unsightly chips.
Porcelain and Composite Veneers
Teeth veneers work similarly to cosmetic bonding but with more lasting results. These restorations are thin, natural-looking ceramic sliver-like pieces that add length, improve the shape and brighten the colour of teeth. Patients with significant staining or short-looking teeth because of a lifetime of teeth grinding often benefit most from veneers.
We create veneers in-house using computer-aided design and manufacture (CAD/CAM) and a ceramic mill like a 3-D printer. Composite veneers are a direct restoration, meaning our dentists use a flowable material to add to the existing tooth. Composite is a blend of BPA-free plastic and glass particles that look seamless once applied. We use a special light to harden the composite, making it durable and long-lasting.
Other tooth-coloured restorations such as fillings, crowns, bridges, inlays and onlays can also play a part in our cosmetic treatment, especially when we use them to eliminate metallic components like amalgam fillings, which can darken your smile.
Clear Aligner Therapy
While dental bonding and veneers can solve minor tooth alignment issues, we may also recommend orthodontic treatments like clear aligners for more complicated smile challenges. For example, a crooked smile is both unattractive and unhealthy as overlapping teeth are harder to clean and maintain, leading to decay in hard-to-reach places. But with clear aligners, we can offer you a convenient and comfortable smile-straightening regime that may take a year or less to complete in some instances.
Our team can mix and match these services to create a plan that respects your smile goals, budget, and preferences. Your new smile may be more within reach than you thought.
We Offer Cosmetic Dentistry Consultations
Even if you are considering improving your smile with cosmetic dentistry, we invite you to contact GoldCity Dental Centre. We will begin by learning your smile goals, and then one of our highly skilled dentists will discuss each option with you, answering questions until you're completely ready to proceed.
We aim to provide cosmetic dental services that best fit your unique needs. In addition, we aim to supply the necessary details so you can make an informed choice for your smile's future health and beauty.
