Using modern techniques 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 Totally Smiles Geelong, 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 Totally Smiles Geelong

Our experienced dental team provides a wide range of cosmetic treatments, allowing patients to choose solutions that suit their smile goals. Central Geelong has a relatively young-adult profile those aged 20–34 make up around 25.7% of the immediate CBD population, above the national figure of roughly 20.5%* this reflects central Geelong specifically, not the practice’s wider service area an age group among whom cosmetic treatment is a common area of interest. 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 and most effective ways to refresh your smile. Everyday habits such as drinking coffee, tea, red wine and consuming coloured foods can gradually stain teeth over time.

Professional whitening treatments can help brighten your smile safely and effectively while being tailored to your individual needs.

Dr Patrick Puckett and Dr Erin Callahan both have a clinical interest in cosmetic dentistry and teeth whitening, helping patients work towards brighter, more confident smiles.

Porcelain Veneers

Veneers are thin, custom made restorations that are 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 Patrick Puckett and Dr Erin Callahan both provide veneer treatment as part of their cosmetic dentistry services.

Smile Makeovers

Sometimes achieving your ideal smile involves combining several cosmetic treatments into a personalised treatment plan.

A smile makeover may include:

• Professional whitening
• Veneers
• Crowns
• Invisalign®
• SmileFast orthodontics
• Dental implants
• Bite rehabilitation

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.

Straighten Your Smile with Clear Aligners

Crooked or crowded teeth can affect both confidence and oral health. Modern orthodontic treatment offers discreet options that fit comfortably into everyday life.

At Totally Smiles Geelong, orthodontic options include:

• Invisalign® clear aligners
• Inman Aligners
• SmileFast orthodontics

These treatments can gradually reposition teeth without the appearance of traditional braces, which many adults find appealing. Central Geelong skews towards adults, with a smaller share of children (aged 0–14 ≈ 12.9%) than the national average of around 18.2%* so discreet, adult friendly clear aligner options are often a good fit for local patients who didn’t have orthodontic treatment earlier in life.

Dr Simon McPherson has a particular interest in Invisalign and SmileFast orthodontics, while Dr Erin Callahan is a certified Inman Aligner provider, offering personalised treatment for suitable patients seeking straighter smiles.

Replacing Missing Teeth with Dental Implants

Missing teeth can affect more than your appearance they can also impact your ability to eat, speak and maintain healthy jaw function.

Dental implants provide a long term solution by replacing missing teeth with restorations designed to look, feel and function like natural teeth.

At Totally Smiles Geelong, implant dentistry is an area of advanced expertise.

Dr Patrick Puckett has undertaken extensive postgraduate education in implant dentistry and has been providing implant treatment for many years. Dr Simon McPherson also has extensive experience in implant dentistry and cosmetic rehabilitation.

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.

In reality, 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 Totally Smiles Geelong’s commitment to evidence-based, patient-centred care.
