Cosmetic Dentistry
Veneers are a versatile cosmetic dental treatment that can drastically improve one's aesthetics. Many Hollywood stars and celebrities can attribute their picture-perfect smiles to veneers. With veneers, a patient can transform crooked, discolored or misshapen teeth into their dream smile. And the best part? Veneers are designed to last for many years!
The Lifespan of Veneers
In addition to being stain-resistant, veneers are also long-lasting and durable. The lifespan of dental veneers can sometimes depend on the material used. For instance, porcelain veneers tend to last longer than composite veneers. However, dental veneers generally last 15–20 years if you practice excellent oral hygiene and visit your dentist for routine exams and cleans.
Veneers in Pascoe Vale, VIC
Your dentist in Pascoe Vale recommends brushing twice daily, flossing once, and receiving regular dental exams and cleaning to maintain the health and appearance of your smile. He also advises to never use your teeth as tools, avoid chewing hard or sharp foods, and consider wearing a nightguard if you have a bruxism habit.
If you take excellent care of your smile, your veneers can last for several years without needing repairs or replacement. Lumino Smiles Dental offers high-quality veneers and veneer replacements at our dental clinic in Pascoe Vale, VIC.

If you wish you had whiter, brighter teeth, professional teeth whitening from our dental clinic in Pascoe Vale may be a viable option for you. At Lumino Smiles, we can help you eliminate years of stains from coffee, tea or red wine.
How Long Will Teeth Whitening Last?
Professional teeth whitening is an extremely popular cosmetic treatment that can help you achieve your desired smile. We design custom bleaching trays for you and use professional-strength bleaching agents in our dental clinic to ensure the best possible results for your teeth.
You can expect your teeth whitening results to last up to two or three years, depending on several different factors, including:
- Oral hygiene – If you maintain a strict oral hygiene regimen of brushing, flossing and visiting your dentist in Pascoe Vale, your teeth whitening results will likely last longer.
- Tobacco use – If you smoke or use tobacco, it can stain your teeth.
- Food and drinks that stain – Try to avoid coffee, tea and red wine, as well as foods with dyes. If you drink from a straw, you may achieve better results.

If you are interested in a brighter, younger looking smile, let us know. We offer two options to meet the cosmetic dentistry goals of our patients.
During your consultation, we will explain both our home teeth bleaching system and our in-house whitening system as well as what to expect from both procedures.
Custom Whitening Trays
The most affordable teeth bleaching option we offer at Lumino Smiles is a customised system for you to use at home. We will take impressions of your teeth and create whitening trays that fit your teeth precisely. Most whitening systems contain either hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide to lighten stains that collect on the teeth.
We will provide you with the whitening gel that will work best for you based on the level of staining and if you have sensitive teeth.
In-House Teeth Whitening
Some patients prefer instant results. If you have an important event or would like to have a whiter smile in one appointment, we can provide a whitening treatment during your appointment. The process takes approximately one hour, and you will leave with a significantly whiter smile after one visit.
Some patients like to combine the two treatments and opt for teeth bleaching in our Pascoe Vale dental clinic as well as customised bleaching trays to continue the process at home or touch up when teeth develop new stains.
It is difficult to envision how cosmetic dentistry will impact your appearance because you look at your current smile every day in the mirror. Uncertainty may keep you from proceeding with cosmetic dentistry, even if you wish to improve your smile.
We take the guesswork out of aesthetic treatments like veneers, bonding and tooth-coloured crowns by providing our patients with digital Smile Design to preview their results.
Dr Amir is a photographer and uses his artistic ability to create digital before and after videos and images so that you can see what your new smile will look like. Not only does this give you a realistic comparison between your current smile and your dream smile, it also allows for adjustments prior to placing your final restorations. Dr Kiaee also places temporary restorations during the process to ensure a precise match between your dental restorations, facial structure and the symmetry of your smile.
By taking the guesswork out of cosmetic dentistry, patients are able to make informed and confident decisions regarding the cosmetic treatments they choose.
One of the most rewarding aspects of working in dentistry is seeing the joy on our patients’ faces when they get the first glimpse of their new smiles.
