Cosmetic dentistry in Newport
Cosmetic dentistry in Newport, VIC at Newport Family Dentist covers teeth whitening, porcelain and composite veneers, dental crystals, and clear aligners from Angel Aligners and ClearCorrect. Our dentists provide treatment after an examination and a discussion of risks, costs and alternatives.
What’s involved
Cosmetic dental options
Teeth whitening changes the colour of natural teeth. Porcelain and composite veneers cover tooth surfaces and may require permanent preparation; read the risks below.
Dental crystals are decorative additions bonded to a tooth. Clear aligners from Angel Aligners and ClearCorrect use removable trays to move teeth in stages.
Crowns and tooth-coloured fillings can restore damaged teeth. Your dentist explains which treatments are appropriate after an examination.
Porcelain and composite veneers
Porcelain and composite veneers cover the fronts of teeth to change their shape, size or colour. However, porcelain veneers usually require permanent enamel removal, while composite veneers may require less preparation. Either type can need maintenance, repair or replacement. Read about veneer options, consultation and risks.
Risks of veneers
Veneers are a serious, long-term decision. Preparing teeth for porcelain veneers usually removes enamel, which cannot be undone, and veneers may need repair or replacement over time. Risks include tooth sensitivity, chipping or debonding, and gum irritation. Results vary. Your dentist will discuss the risks, alternatives and costs before you decide.
A veneer consultation includes a 3D intraoral scan, a discussion with the dentist and a 2D smile simulation. The simulation is a discussion aid, not a prediction of your result. We explain suitability, risks and alternatives. A written quote is available on request.

Frequently asked questions
What cosmetic treatments do you offer?
We offer teeth whitening in the chair or with take-home trays, porcelain veneers, composite veneers, dental crystals, and Angel Aligners or ClearCorrect clear aligners. Tooth-coloured fillings and crowns can also change how teeth look. Each treatment starts with an examination so the dentist can explain your options, risks and costs.
Are cosmetic dental treatments reversible?
Preparation for porcelain veneers usually removes enamel permanently, so that preparation cannot be reversed. Composite veneers may require less preparation, while whitening changes tooth colour without tooth reduction. Dental crystals are bonded to the surface but can still carry risks. Your dentist explains the preparation and risks for your teeth; read our veneer information.
Which cosmetic treatments remove the least tooth structure?
Whitening does not involve cutting away tooth structure. Bonded dental crystals and composite veneers may require less preparation than porcelain veneers or crowns, but suitability and risks differ. However, any tooth structure removed cannot grow back. Ask your dentist to explain the proposed preparation and alternatives, and read our veneer risks.

Choosing treatment and your dentist
How do I choose between whitening, veneers and clear aligners?
Teeth whitening changes the colour of natural teeth. In contrast, clear aligners move teeth in stages. Veneers cover tooth surfaces to change shape, size or colour and may need permanent tooth preparation. An examination helps your dentist compare suitability, risks and costs. Read the veneer risks and discuss alternatives before deciding on treatment.
