Cosmetic Dentist in Sydney
A brilliant smile can be a real confidence booster. Whether you want to brighten what you have, reshape it or rebuild it, the team at CDC Dental can help you explore your options without recommending treatment you don’t need.
Your Smile, Planned by Dr Tony Goswell (Dentist)
Every cosmetic treatment plan we create is guided by Dr Goswell, a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons, with more than four decades of experience.
Our dentist’s approach is straightforward: no unnecessary treatment and no upselling. He’ll talk you through the options that may help you achieve the changes you’re looking for. With Digital Smile Design, you can also preview a proposed smile before deciding whether to proceed.
Cosmetic Services Built Around Your Goals
Most people don’t need every treatment on this page. Dr Goswell will recommend an option, or combination of options, based on your teeth, your budget and what you’d like to change.
Teeth Whitening
Zoom! Whitening offers an in-chair option, while take-home kits allow you to whiten in your own time. We’ll check your teeth first to determine whether whitening is appropriate for you.
Who this suits: Patients with healthy teeth who would like to brighten their smile.
Composite and Porcelain Veneers
Veneers can change the colour, shape and appearance of teeth affected by chips, stains, minor misalignment or gaps. Composite veneers are applied directly to the teeth and can often be completed in one visit. Porcelain veneers are created in a laboratory and offer a natural-looking, stain-resistant finish.
Who this suits: People looking to change the colour, shape or spacing of their front teeth where whitening or orthodontic treatment alone may not address their concerns.
Dental Crowns
A crown covers a damaged or weakened tooth to protect the remaining structure and restore its shape and function.
Who this suits: Patients with a heavily filled, cracked or weakened tooth who need a restoration designed to protect what remains of the natural tooth.
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by using neighbouring teeth for support. It can help restore the appearance of the smile and make biting and chewing easier.
Who this suits: Patients with one or more missing teeth who are looking for a fixed replacement option and may not want, or may not be suitable for, an implant.
Dental Implants
A dental implant is a titanium fixture placed in the jawbone to replace a missing tooth root. A crown, bridge or denture can then be attached to restore the appearance and function of the missing tooth or teeth.
Who this suits: Patients replacing one or more missing teeth who are considering a fixed, long-term option. We’ll assess your suitability at your consultation.
Smile Makeovers
A smile makeover combines several treatments into one coordinated plan. Depending on your needs, this might include whitening, veneers, crowns, bonding or Invisalign® clear aligners.
Who this suits: Patients considering changes to several aspects of their smile who would prefer one coordinated treatment plan.
Orthodontic Options
Orthodontic treatment can help improve tooth alignment and spacing. Depending on your needs, options may include Invisalign® clear aligners or other orthodontic approaches recommended after an assessment.
Who this suits: Adults and teens who would like straighter teeth and want to explore which orthodontic option may be appropriate for them.
Recontouring and Bonding
For smaller changes, recontouring and bonding may be used to alter a tooth’s shape or surface or repair minor imperfections.
Who this suits: Patients with minor chips, uneven edges or slightly mismatched teeth who are looking for a subtle, conservative change.
Digital Smile Design
Digital Smile Design provides a visual preview of a proposed smile before treatment begins. Using digital technology, we can create a mock-up based on your current smile and proposed treatment, allowing you to consider details such as tooth shape, length and shade.
Who this suits: Patients who would like to preview and discuss proposed cosmetic changes before deciding whether to proceed.
Digital Smile Design: Preview Your Proposed Smile
When you’re considering investing in your smile, it can be difficult to picture how different changes might look. Digital Smile Design provides a visual preview of a proposed smile before treatment begins.
Using digital technology, we can create a mock-up based on your current smile and proposed treatment. You can consider details such as tooth shape, length and shade and discuss them with Dr Goswell.
Instead of trying to imagine what “a little longer” or “a shade lighter” might mean, you’ll have something visual to discuss and refine. The preview is a planning tool rather than a guarantee of the final treatment outcome, and there’s no obligation to proceed.
What Happens at Your Consultation
Dr Goswell will talk with you about your goals and examine your teeth and gums to assess your oral health. From there, he’ll explain the options that may suit you, including simpler and more conservative approaches where appropriate.
You can ask questions, consider your options and decide in your own time. There’s no pressure to commit on the spot.
Your Smile at Work and Beyond
Your smile is part of how you present yourself every day, from client meetings and presentations to interviews, networking events and time with friends and family.
