Cosmetic dentistry professional in Joondalup provides consumers with a no-nonsense guide to cosmetic dental procedures.
Perth, WA, 25 January 2016 - Cosmetic dentistry is a term that is misunderstood by many. It consists of a combination of any or many procedures that make one’s smile look better. Though it sounds superficial by nature, cosmetic dentistry is dependent upon the structural integrity of the jaw, teeth and gums. Consequently, it is often necessary to perform structural work before performing cosmetic procedures.

Dr Roy Sarmidi is a dentist at Candlewood Dental Centre in Joondalup. He and his staff are very experienced in providing cosmetic dentistry to a growing number of people in the Joondalup and Perth areas.

According to Dr Sarmidi: “We have obtained great results for numerous cosmetic dentistry patients, but it has to be done correctly and with full consideration of the structural elements underneath. That way, your results are better and longer lasting. That is why we take such great care to fully examine anyone who wants a cosmetic procedure, perform all of the work that needs to be done and ensure that the work is performed correctly.”

Elements of a Smile Makeover

One of the more popular options in cosmetic dentistry is the “smile makeover.” In a smile makeover, every facet of the patient’s dental health and appearance are taken into consideration. The dentist works with the patient to assess the patient’s goals and then comes up with a treatment plan to achieve those goals.

When assessing a patient for a smile makeover, the teeth are treated as an integrated segment of the body. To that end, many factors are considered, such as hair colour, skin tone, lips, gums and the full appearance of the teeth: width, length, shape, display and colour.

In the initial consultation, the patient is asked to isolate the areas they would like to see improved or the areas they don’t like. Then, the patient is asked what they want their teeth to look like. After a full examination to assess dental health, the dentist can create a treatment plan.

According to Dr Sarmidi: “It sounds like a lot of work for the patient, but we go out of our way to make sure the process is as easy on the patient as possible. We have so much experience in cosmetic dentistry that we can streamline the process considerably. Though we are creating a comprehensive treatment plan, to the patient it seems more like a friendly discussion over tea.”

Techniques and Procedures for Smile Makeover

A smile makeover will consist of one or more of the following techniques: replacement of silver or amalgam fillings with fillings that match your natural tooth colour, teeth whitening, Invisalign invisible braces, crowns, orthodontics, porcelain veneers, dental implants, dentures, partial bridges, oral maxillofacial surgery or gummy smile reduction.

Dr Sarmidi concludes: “Nothing makes someone feel as good about themselves as a smile makeover. We see it every day.”
