Smile makeovers and cosmetic dentistry in Cranbourne North.
A smile makeover at Aura starts with a conversation. Before any treatment is discussed, we need to understand what you actually want to change — and why. Most patients arrive with a feeling rather than a specific request. Our job is to translate that into a clinical plan that delivers a result that looks right on your face.
What’s involved
We use facially generated treatment planning — a methodology pioneered by leading restorative clinicians including Frank Spear — that designs the smile around your face, not a template. Tooth size, shape, proportion, and colour are all determined relative to your lip line, facial midline, and facial proportions. The result looks like the best version of you.
Before any cosmetic treatment is presented, we assess the full clinical picture. Active disease, unstable gum tissue, or a compromised bite must be addressed first. Cosmetics placed over an unhealthy foundation will not last — and we do not proceed until the biology is stable.
We offer smile trials — temporary composite mock-ups placed directly over your existing teeth before any preparation begins. You see it, speak with it, and decide whether it’s what you want. Nothing permanent happens until you’ve confirmed it.
Treatment depends on what’s needed: whitening, composite bonding, ceramic veneers, crowns, and sometimes Invisalign where alignment affects the final aesthetic. We use whatever combination achieves a stable, long-lasting result — not the most treatment, the right treatment.
Who it’s for
Adults wanting to improve a single tooth or transform their full smile. Patients with worn, chipped, stained, or uneven teeth. Anyone who has been told they need veneers and wants to understand what’s realistic before committing. Patients unhappy with previous cosmetic work done elsewhere.
What to expect at your visit
The cosmetic consultation is where the clinical and aesthetic plan is built together. We use the iTero Lumina scanner to map your current dentition and plan the outcome on screen. For significant changes, a smile trial follows before any preparation begins. Treatment is then staged to achieve the planned result efficiently.
Costs and payment plans
Composite bonding starts from approximately $600 per tooth. Ceramic veneer fees are confirmed at consultation based on the number of teeth and materials selected. Interest-free payment plans are available. All fees are confirmed in writing before treatment begins.
What patients usually ask before booking.
With a consultation. We need to understand what you want to change before we can tell you what’s possible, what it involves, and what it costs. The consultation includes a full assessment of your teeth, gums, and bite — because cosmetics and clinical health can’t be separated. We’ll tell you clearly what’s achievable and what isn’t.
A smile trial is a temporary composite mock-up placed directly over your existing teeth before any preparation begins. You see the proposed shape, size, and proportions in your own mouth — not on a screen. You can speak with it, smile with it, and evaluate it in your own life before anything is permanent. If something needs adjusting, we adjust it before anything is irreversible. It’s one of the most important steps in cosmetic dentistry and one most clinics skip.
Composite veneers are sculpted directly onto the tooth in a single appointment. They’re reversible, require minimal preparation, and start from approximately $600 per tooth. Ceramic veneers are fabricated in a lab from Emax porcelain and bonded permanently — more durable, more translucent, and longer-lasting, but they require some tooth preparation and cost more. We’ll recommend what’s appropriate for your situation and budget at the consultation.
Yes. Active gum disease, decay, or an unstable bite must be addressed before cosmetic treatment begins. Veneers placed on inflamed gums or over untreated decay will not last. We assess the full clinical picture first — and if something needs attention before we proceed aesthetically, we’ll explain exactly what it is and why it matters before we ask you to commit to anything.
Composite bonding can be completed in one to two appointments. A full ceramic veneer case with smile trials and preparation typically takes two to three months from consultation to final fitting. Cases involving Invisalign as part of the overall result take longer. We map the full timeline at the planning stage so you know what to expect before anything starts.
Yes. Interest-free payment plans are available. All costs are confirmed in writing before treatment begins. We process health fund claims on the spot via HICAPS where applicable.
