Cosmetic dentistry in Bacchus Marsh, starting with the one thing you'd change.
For one person it's a brighter shade before a wedding. For another it's a chipped front tooth, a gap they've learned to hide, or gums that show more than they'd like. This page is a map of the cosmetic options at our Gisborne Road clinic, so you can see roughly where you'd start before you decide anything.
The moment before you make the call
Most people arrive with a feeling, not a treatment name.
Nobody wakes up wanting "porcelain veneers." They wake up tired of covering their mouth in photos, or noticing one tooth every time they pass a mirror. If a few of these feel familiar, there is usually a specific option that speaks to it.
Your smile shows more gum than you'd like when you laugh — see Laser Gum Lift & Contouring.
One cracked, heavily filled or discoloured tooth draws the eye — see Crowns & Bridges.
You'd like your teeth a shade or two lighter before an event — see Teeth Whitening. Read more about the TouchWhite laser whitening appointment.
Your gums look dark or uneven in close-up photos — see Laser Gum Depigmentation.
You'd like to see a different smile before changing anything permanent — see Snap-On Smile.
Chips, gaps or wear have made your smile feel smaller than it should — see Porcelain & Composite Veneers. You can also read about Composite bonding.
This is where most people actually start.
You don't need to arrive knowing whether you want veneers, whitening or something else. A Smile Makeover Consultation is an unhurried conversation: we examine your teeth and gums, listen to what you'd change, and explain which options on this page apply to you. Our clinic also uses Digital Smile Design, a planning tool that helps you picture proposed changes before treatment starts.
Some people leave with a plan for a single tooth. Others leave with a plan for very little at all. Either result is a good one, because the point is clarity, not a sale.
Book a Smile Makeover Consultation — or call and ask a question first.
Six treatments. One conversation to find yours.
Each of these has its own page covering what it involves, who it tends to suit and what it can't do. Here's the short version.
Porcelain & Composite Veneers
A thin custom shell bonded to the front of a tooth to change its shape, shade or surface. Composite is shaped in the chair in one visit; porcelain is made by a laboratory and fitted at a second visit.
No laser · permanent change — Read about veneers →Crowns & Bridges
A crown covers and protects a weakened tooth; a bridge holds a replacement tooth between crowns on the teeth beside a gap. Our clinic lists CEREC among its equipment, which can make some ceramic crowns in a single visit.
No laser · restorative + cosmetic — Read about crowns & bridges →Fotona TouchWhite™ Whitening
An in-chair whitening appointment in which a laser supports the whitening gel. Take-home trays are the slower option. We check what is causing the staining first, because some discolouration does not respond to whitening.
Fotona laser · no permanent change — Read about teeth whitening →Laser Gum Lift & Depigmentation
Two different concerns treated with a dental laser. A gum lift reshapes the gumline when a smile shows more gum than tooth. Depigmentation lightens dark or uneven patches of gum. Both are procedures with risks and healing time, which your dentist explains first.
Fotona laser · invasive procedure — Read about gum lift & contouring → Read about gum depigmentation →Dental Implants
An implant replaces the root of a missing tooth as well as the visible crown, whether for one tooth, several or a full arch. It is a surgical treatment, and planning starts with a close look at the bone and gum.
No laser · surgical procedure — Read about dental implants →Snap-On Smile
A custom, removable appliance that clips over your own teeth to cover staining, gaps or chips while you wear it. There is no drilling, and it does not treat the teeth underneath.
No laser · fully reversible — Read about Snap-On Smile →Results, suitability and the number of appointments vary between individuals. All cosmetic procedures carry risks, and some, such as preparing teeth for veneers, cannot be reversed. We examine your teeth and gums and explain what is realistic before anything is booked. Before any surgical or invasive procedure, you may wish to seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
Not sure where you'd fit?
These are the questions we usually ask first at a consultation. Answering them roughly for yourself can point you toward the right page, though nothing replaces an examination in the chair.
Is it the shape of your teeth, or the colour?
Shape usually points to veneers, crowns or bridges, or Snap-On Smile. Colour alone usually points to teeth whitening.
Is it one tooth, or the whole smile?
One damaged or missing tooth is usually a crown or bridge. A whole-smile concern is best explored at a Smile Makeover Consultation first.
Is it really the teeth, or the gums?
Too much gum showing points to a laser gum lift. Dark or uneven gum tone points to laser gum depigmentation.
Do you want to try it first, or commit straight away?
Snap-On Smile is removable if you'd like to try a look first. Porcelain veneers, crowns and bridges are long-term changes.
What the first visit looks like.
Whichever option you're leaning toward, most visits at our Bacchus Marsh clinic start the same unhurried way.
01 · A conversation, not a pitch.
We ask what you'd change and why now. You don't need to know any treatment names.
02 · A proper look.
A clinical examination, with x-rays or 3D imaging where needed, so any recommendation is based on your own teeth and gums.
03 · Options, explained plainly.
We explain which treatments apply, including the ones we'd suggest you skip, and the risks of each.
04 · A written estimate.
If you'd like to go ahead, you'll see an itemised cost and your payment options in writing before you decide.
Understand the options before you decide.
Know the numbers before you decide anything.
Cosmetic treatment can be a real expense, so we explain the costs in plain English first. At Magical Smiles Bacchus Marsh you can claim eligible amounts through HICAPS and use payment plans through Afterpay, Zip, Humm or the National Dental Plan, subject to each provider's approval and terms.
As a guide, these are the indicative starting prices in our estimator as at September 2026: composite bonding from $250 per tooth, TouchWhite laser whitening from $650, composite veneers from $695 per tooth, porcelain veneers and crowns from $1,700 per tooth, and Snap-On Smile from $2,000 per arch. Your own cost is confirmed in a written quote after your examination.

About the estimator: it gives an indicative figure only, based on typical per-treatment pricing — it is not a quote. Every treatment is priced individually once we've examined your teeth and gums (and any x-rays needed), and you'll always see the exact cost in writing before agreeing to treatment. Repayment figures are illustrative, calculated using Humm/NDP's own plan-fee formula for the term selected, so Humm's fees are already included; finance is subject to Humm's own eligibility criteria and approval, and may not be granted.
