Implants
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that fuse with your jawbone to support single crowns, large bridges, and dentures. They offer a more natural look and feel than conventional replacements. They also promote healthy chewing and help maintain the shape of your face and jaw.
Implant dentistry is a multidisciplinary approach to restoring missing or failing teeth. The treatment plan may involve a doctor who specialises in conditions of the mouth, jaw, and facial bones (oral and maxillofacial surgeon), a dentist who treats the gums and supporting structures of teeth (periodontist) or a dental technician who designs and fabricates artificial teeth (prosthodontist). The treatment is performed under local anesthesia so you will be comfortable during the procedure. Some chronic conditions can slow the healing process and impact your ability to receive implants.
Crowns
Crowns can help you regain the function and beauty of your teeth. They can treat damaged, broken, or decayed teeth that cannot be used with a filling. Crowns can also be used to replace missing teeth.
Dental crowns are a porcelain ‘cap’ that completely covers your tooth. They are bonded to your natural tooth, improving its appearance, strength, and function. They can also be used to repair cracked or chipped teeth damaged by trauma, grinding & more. For more information about the full mouth rehabilitation Adelaide, click here.
Unlike dentures, crowns are permanent fixtures and can only be removed by a dentist. Our team uses the CEREC® system, which allows your crowns or ceramic fillings to be completed in one visit, meaning fewer injections and less time in the chair!
Bridges
If you have gaps or missing teeth, it can affect the function and aesthetics of your smile. Bridge dentistry is a great solution to replace these areas of your mouth with secure prostheses that mimic the look and functionality of the natural teeth they are replacing.
Traditional bridges use a crown on either side of the gap with an artificial tooth (pontic) in between. This type of bridge is best suited for mouth areas with adjacent healthy teeth on both sides of the gap.
A cantilever bridge is a simpler version of this and is used for areas of the mouth with only healthy teeth on one side of the gap. Both of these types are permanent and non-removable.
Veneers
Veneers are a standard cosmetic dentistry solution to conceal and fix cracked, chipped, discoloured or gapped teeth. They are thin porcelain shells that can be bonded to the surface of your teeth. They are highly effective in hiding imperfections and achieving a beautiful smile.
Traditionally, dental veneers require drilling or cutting the tooth to allow them to be attached. This can cause some sensitivity and discomfort. At Adelaide Cosmetic Dentistry, we offer durable veneers in a range of aesthetics with no or minimal preparation of the existing tooth.

This means less sensitivity, no pain and faster recovery times. It also provides the opportunity to achieve a perfect smile without undergoing a more extensive treatment like dental implants. Both composite and porcelain veneers are available and are both long-term cosmetic dentistry solutions, with the longevity of their appearance dependent on the level of oral hygiene the patient maintains.
Dentures
Dentures are removable prosthetics with artificial teeth and flanges that can replace an entire upper or lower set of teeth. They help improve smile aesthetics and function and prevent the facial muscles from sagging where teeth have been missing for long periods.
Conventional complete dentures can take up to 7 months to create as they need to be moulded to fit your mouth and smile perfectly. They are acrylic and can be customised with colours to suit your complexion.
