Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry deals with the aesthetics (cosmetic appeal) of the teeth, gums and supporting structures. The main aim is to enhance the smile, leaving you with a healthier and more confident appearance. The best thing about cosmetic dentistry is that it can help you improve your self-esteem, giving you the confidence to interact with others.
At Alpha Dental, our cosmetic dentists provide the best procedures in cosmetic dentistry in Perth. We provide personalised consultation to discuss your cosmetic needs and present you with a range of cosmetic dental treatments that can benefit you in various ways.
Cosmetic dental surgery is not just about improving the appearance of your teeth but also your overall oral health. For example, if you have missing teeth, there is an increased risk of developing gum disease, which can lead to other health problems such as heart disease and diabetes.

Teeth Whitening
We offer fast and effective teeth whitening options suited to your lifestyle. Using a neutral pH formula like Pola Office, we can achieve professional teeth whitening while protecting your teeth and gums. Our teeth whitening services are one of the best ways to whiten teeth. Our cosmetic teeth whitening include two types of dental whitening procedures (mentioned below) that are safe, effective and yield professional results like no other.
In-chair Teeth Whitening
Pola Office’s unique formula dissolves and releases active whitening ingredients that immediately go to work, breaking down and releasing peroxide ions without UV light therapy. Achieve whiter teeth in just 30 minutes of treatment time.
Pola Office+ is 33% faster than other dentist-used whitening products available in the market and has been hailed as the world’s quickest and safest teeth whitening product, with noticeable results in under 30 minutes. It has been designed for sensitive dental nerves and nerve endings using Pola Desensitising Technology (PDT). Combined with a neutral pH, Pola Office+ reduces the likelihood of gum irritation and long-term gum damage, making it a safer option for those suffering from tooth sensitivity.
Take-home Teeth Whitening Kits
Pola Day is an easy-to-use take-home tooth whitening kit that utilises a safe and neutral pH formulation that whitens your teeth in as little as 30 minutes a day. The formula also contains added fluoride to help remineralise your teeth and protect the enamel against sensitivity. Available in various strengths, with higher concentrations able to deliver faster, whiter results in a shorter period.
Pola Night teeth whitening solution is convenient, safe and goes to work while you’re asleep. With fluoride for remineralisation and desensitising technology (PDT), you can enjoy whiter teeth faster without fearing gum irritation, burning, pain or long-term nerve damage. Pola Night has various strengths, with higher concentrations of the active ingredient achieving a whiter result in a shorter period.
Dental Veneers
Cover all tooth imperfections, including broken, worn, chipped, discoloured or stained, with one of the most effective smile-enhancement options, i.e., dental veneers or teeth veneers. Alpha Dental offers two types of custom-made veneers, namely porcelain veneers and composite veneers, tailored to your needs to enjoy a healthier, whiter smile at a fraction of the cost compared to alternative treatments.
Porcelain Veneers involve a 2-step process, with the first appointment involving an impression of your teeth taken. This impression is then sent to the dental lab, where your new permanent veneers will be made. Veneers can change the colour, shape, size and length of your teeth and are made to match your existing teeth. On your second visit, your new porcelain veneers will be bonded into place.
Composite Veneers are an affordable option that only requires a single appointment to achieve noticeable results. They are made to match the colour and shape of your existing teeth and are cured into place using a bright light.
Dental Crowns
A dental crown or a tooth crown, also known as ‘caps’, is a cosmetic dental solution that covers the entire tooth above the gum, protecting and prolonging the life of the tooth. Crowns are usually made from ceramic or porcelain and can remedy several oral health issues.
How do you know when you need a crown?
- Reinforcing a cracked tooth with a porcelain crown or ceramic crown will reduce further damage by redirecting the biting force away from the crack.
- Replacing older fillings that have begun to leak or crack.
- Covering dental implants.
- Dental crown procedure also helps restore large holes by covering the tooth entirely, improving the structure and protecting the tooth in the long term, minimising the chance of the tooth breaking.
- Back tooth or front tooth crown can prevent additional damage or trauma from grinding or clenching.
- Can be used in place of a dental veneer to cover the entire tooth and strengthen the structure.
Dental Implants
Dental implants or teeth implants are one of the most effective and reliable cosmetic dental solutions to replace missing teeth permanently. Unlike dentures, which can be removed anytime, a titanium screw is placed on your jawbone, where it can heal over 3 to 6 months in a process known as osseointegration.
A permanent artificial tooth that has been made to match your existing teeth will be placed on top of the screw once it has completely healed, giving you back the natural look and feel of your smile. Our dental implant procedure in Perth is one of the best and promises to provide you with the smile you always wanted! Our implant dentist in Perth is highly-skilled and provides tooth implant procedures so expertly that you won’t recognise the difference between real and fake teeth.
When do you need a dental implant?
Dental implants can be for anyone who is missing one or more teeth due to injury, tooth decay, disease, or replacement of dentures. Ignoring a missing tooth for an extended period causes jawbone loss, eventually altering the shape of your face.

Tooth-coloured Fillings
If you’re worried about ugly dark silver fillings, that’s a thing of the past. At Alpha Dental, we maintain your natural smile by using mercury-free white fillings that blend in with your natural tooth colour. White tooth filling appears cleaner, lasts longer and helps reinforce your teeth against cracks. Before using the teeth-filling material, the affected area will be thoroughly numbed to prevent discomfort, pain or sensitivity so that you can rest assured you won’t feel a thing. The tooth will then be cleaned before the tooth-coloured fillings are applied and shaped into place. The process is relatively quick and painless, completed in under 30 minutes, so you can return to your day in no time.
Clear Aligners
Get a confident smile with straight teeth; no bulky braces are needed. Clear aligners, also called clear braces, are a cosmetic dental option for adults to achieve a perfect smile without metal braces. We get it; braces can be uncomfortable, but rest easy; clear aligners work better at straightening teeth than traditional braces. These invisible braces improve your dental alignment comfortably and effectively. Unlike metal braces that are uncomfortable and noticeable, clear aligners let you smile freely without worrying about showing off your braces to everyone. Say goodbye to metal braces and hello to a confident, natural smile.
Our clear aligners are made from non-irritating materials and are almost invisible. It means no embarrassing metal braces which can take away from your smile. Unlike traditional metal braces requiring constant adjusting, aligners are changed as your teeth gradually move into a healthier position.
Clear aligners are more than just cosmetic.
Having straighter, naturally aligned teeth can do wonders for your appearance and self-esteem, but it can also improve your dental health. Attempting to brush and floss overcrowded teeth can be difficult, especially in hard-to-reach places. Using dental aligners to straighten teeth can improve oral care and hygiene, resulting in better gum health and a decreased risk of gum diseases.
