Using modern digital technology and evidence based dentistry, we work with you to create natural looking results that complement your facial features and oral health.

What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of your teeth, gums and smile. While many cosmetic treatments enhance aesthetics, they can also improve function, restore damaged teeth and make it easier to maintain good oral health.

No two smiles are the same, which is why cosmetic treatment begins with a comprehensive assessment. Your dentist will discuss what you’d like to achieve, examine your oral health and recommend treatment options that suit your needs, lifestyle and budget.

At About Smiles Circular Quay, we believe cosmetic dentistry should enhance your natural smile, not create one that looks artificial. Our goal is to achieve balanced, healthy and long-lasting results.

Cosmetic Dental Treatments Available at About Smiles Circular Quay

Our experienced dental team provides a range of cosmetic treatments, allowing patients to choose options that suit their smile goals. Circular Quay sits within one of the youngest-skewing catchments in Sydney: across the SA3 Sydney Inner City area, residents in their 20s and 30s make up roughly 53% of the population far above the national pattern alongside an above average median weekly household income of about $2,222*. Among a large population of city professionals, interest in cosmetic and smile focused treatment is common. That said, whatever your age, treatment recommendations are always based on an individual assessment rather than assumptions.

Professional Teeth Whitening

Professional teeth whitening is one of the quickest ways to refresh your smile. Everyday habits such as drinking coffee, tea and red wine, and eating some coloured foods, can gradually stain teeth over time.

Professional whitening treatments can help brighten your smile while being tailored to your individual needs, and are provided as part of the practice’s cosmetic dentistry services.

Porcelain Veneers

Veneers are thin, custom made restorations bonded to the front of your teeth to improve their appearance. They may be suitable for improving:

• Discoloured teeth
• Chipped teeth
• Worn teeth
• Minor gaps
• Uneven tooth shapes
• Small imperfections

Because veneers are individually designed, they can create a natural-looking smile while maintaining harmony with your facial features. Dr Aodhan Docherty provides porcelain veneers as part of his cosmetic dentistry work; his qualifications include a Bachelor of Dentistry (Hons) and Fellowship of the Pierre Fauchard Academy.

Composite Bonding

Composite bonding uses a tooth coloured material applied directly to the tooth to repair chips, close small gaps or reshape teeth, often in a single visit. It can be a more conservative option than veneers for minor imperfections. Dr Aodhan Docherty offers composite bonding among his cosmetic treatments.

Smile Makeovers

Sometimes achieving your ideal smile involves combining several cosmetic treatments into a personalised treatment plan. A smile makeover may include professional whitening, porcelain veneers, composite bonding, clear aligners or dental implants.

Rather than focusing on one tooth, a smile makeover considers your overall facial aesthetics, oral health and long term function. Your dentist will carefully plan every stage of treatment to achieve a smile that looks natural and functions well. Dr Aodhan Docherty works with patients considering smile makeovers.

Straighten Your Smile with Clear Aligners

Crooked or crowded teeth can affect both confidence and oral health. Clear aligners offer a discreet way to reposition teeth without the appearance of traditional braces, which many adults find appealing.

This is a strongly adult-skewed catchment across the SA3 Sydney Inner City area, children aged 0–14 make up only around 7.7% of the population (well below the national figure of roughly 18.2%), with a median age of 34*. Discreet, adult friendly clear aligners are often a good fit for local patients who didn’t have orthodontic treatment earlier in life. Dr Gregory Nguyen holds a Postgraduate Diploma in Digital Orthodontics and works with patients considering clear aligner treatment for suitable cases.

Replacing Missing Teeth with Dental Implants

Missing teeth can affect more than your appearance they can also affect your ability to eat, speak and maintain healthy jaw function. Dental implants provide a long-term option for replacing missing teeth with restorations designed to look, feel and function like natural teeth.

At About Smiles Circular Quay, implant treatment is provided by Dr Aodhan Docherty, whose qualifications include a Graduate Diploma in Clinical Dentistry (Dental Implants) and Fellowship of the Pierre Fauchard Academy. Implant treatment is carefully planned to restore both function and aesthetics, helping patients smile with confidence again.

Cosmetic Dentistry Begins with Healthy Teeth

One of the biggest misconceptions about cosmetic dentistry is that it’s purely about appearance. Healthy teeth and gums provide the foundation for every successful cosmetic treatment.

Before recommending cosmetic procedures, your dentist will assess:

• Gum health
• Tooth decay
• Existing restorations
• Bite alignment
• Overall oral health

Addressing these issues first helps ensure cosmetic results are stable, comfortable and long-lasting. This preventative approach reflects About Smiles Circular Quay’s commitment to evidence based, patient centred care, supported by Oral Health Practitioner Hayley Elkins, who focuses on preventative dentistry and oral health care.
