What it costs.
Cosmetic treatment is priced once your dentist has planned it. You get a written quote for each step before anything starts.
Health funds and claiming.
Health funds usually pay little or nothing towards whitening. Some extras policies pay a rebate on veneers or crowns under major dental, often after a waiting period.

Request a callbackIs a cosmetic dentist a different kind of dentist?
No. In Australia, cosmetic dentistry isn’t a separate registration. Whitening, veneers and smile makeovers are done by general dentists, including ours, and any dentist can describe what they do as cosmetic dentistry.
Does Medicare cover veneers or whitening?
No. Medicare doesn’t cover cosmetic dental treatment, and the Child Dental Benefits Schedule excludes it. Some extras policies pay a rebate on veneers under major dental.
Where should I start?
With a check-up. Decay or gum problems need treating before cosmetic work, and your dentist can then tell you which options suit your teeth.
Whitening or veneers?
Whitening lightens your natural teeth and doesn’t change their shape. Veneers cover the front of a tooth and need some enamel removed, which can’t be undone. Many people try whitening first.
How long do the results last?
Whitening fades over months to years, depending on diet and habits. Veneers can chip or wear and most need replacing at some point. Your dentist will tell you what to expect for your teeth.
How much does cosmetic dentistry cost?
It depends on the treatment and how many teeth. Whitening is priced per course, veneers per tooth, and a smile makeover stage by stage. You get a written quote for each step before anything starts.
Can I see what my teeth will look like?
Your dentist will talk you through what’s realistic. We don’t use apps that predict how you’ll look, because results vary from person to person.
