Cosmetic dentistry refers to dental treatments that focus on improving the appearance of your teeth and smile.
Patients may consider cosmetic dentistry for a range of reasons, including concerns about tooth colour, shape, size, spacing, alignment, or general wear over time. Depending on your individual goals, treatment may involve a single procedure or a combination of treatments.
At Sherwood Dental, Dr Ricky Shao takes the time to understand what you would like to improve and discuss the treatment options that may be suitable for your needs.

Porcelain veneers are custom-made restorations placed over the front surface of teeth. They may be recommended to address concerns such as chipped, worn, uneven, or discoloured teeth.

Professional teeth whitening may help reduce the appearance of staining and discolouration, resulting in a brighter-looking smile.

Dental bonding is a conservative treatment that may be suitable for repairing small chips, improving tooth shape, or addressing minor gaps.

A smile makeover involves combining multiple cosmetic dental treatments as part of a personalised treatment plan. Depending on your goals, treatment may include options such as veneers, teeth whitening, bonding, or orthodontic treatment.
