If you are a professional or have an active social life, you likely meet new people every day. Many people like to make a great first impression. Since first impressions matter, some people feel more at ease socially when they are happy with the appearance of their smile.
It’s normal for teeth to change over time, as ageing and everyday wear can affect their appearance.

At Lumino Smiles, we prioritise dental health and provide personalised care to help enhance your smile.
How do I get started with cosmetic dentistry?
We will start with a smile consult to discuss your goals and what you would like to change about how your smile looks. This is your chance to share how you feel about the way your teeth and gums look with Dr Amir, so he can go over options that will give you the results you are looking for.
With smile design, we can create a personalised treatment plan aimed at enhancing your smile.
What is digital smile design?
You have looked at your smile in the mirror your entire life, so it might be tough to imagine what your future smile will look like.
Dr Amir provides patients with the opportunity to review a digital video demonstrating their before and after smiles, allowing for any final changes to colour, shape or design. Once the smile design is approved, we will proceed with treatment and final restorations.
Smile design is a planning process that helps us tailor treatment options to support your individual aesthetic goals.
Will my teeth look fake?
Modern cosmetic dentistry looks more natural than ever. We use tooth-coloured materials that are designed to blend with natural enamel, helping restorations look discreet and natural.
While there are no guarantees when designing a smile, you can count on Dr Amir to listen to every need and concern you have and to create a treatment plan designed to support your oral health and aesthetic preferences
Ultimately, it is your choice. At Lumino Smiles, we put our patients in charge of their smiles. We see ourselves as educators and partners, providing information and options so you can choose the care that best suits your needs.
What are my cosmetic dentistry treatment options?
Teeth whitening – Developing stained teeth because of ageing is inevitable. If you drink coffee, tea or red wine or use tobacco, stains can develop more quickly, leaving your smile with a yellow or dingy hue.
At Lumino Smiles, teeth whitening (or bleaching) is a commonly requested cosmetic treatment. Professional whitening treatments prescribed by a dentist use regulated concentrations of bleaching agents and are provided under supervision for safety. Our customised trays are designed to keep the whitening gel on the tooth surfaces and away from the gums, helping to reduce the risk of irritation or sensitivity.
Tooth-coloured restorations – Metal-based restorations often make teeth look darker or uneven in colour. Replacing them with tooth-coloured, metal-free restorations can brighten your smile.
At our Pascoe Vale dental clinic, we use durable, tooth-coloured fillings and ceramic restorations such as crowns, inlays and onlays.
Porcelain veneers – One of the most versatile treatments available, porcelain veneers can address a number of common aesthetic concerns such as:
- Minor misalignment
- Uneven spacing
- Wear or damage
- Non-uniform appearance
If you admire celebrity smiles, chances are that you are admiring porcelain veneers. Veneers are thin, shell-like restorations that cover the front of your teeth to make teeth look uniform.
You can have a single veneer or multiple veneers, depending on your needs.
Cosmetic orthodontics – At Lumino Smiles, we offer patients convenient orthodontic options to straighten teeth. Both Invisalign and Six Month Smiles are convenient and discreet ways for adult patients to opt for orthodontics without the traditional dark brackets and wires.
