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.
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.
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.
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.
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:
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.
A smile makeover may involve combining several treatments to address different cosmetic concerns, tailored to your individual needs. Crowns can rebuild the bite, bonding can repair minor issues, and porcelain veneers will give your smile a natural and uniform appearance.
Smile makeovers do not need to be overwhelming. We can phase out treatment into multiple appointments to make your cosmetic dentistry fit neatly into your schedule.
Smile design will give you a sneak preview of your new smile before you commit.
Straightening your teeth can correct bite-related issues and overlapping teeth that are more difficult to brush and floss.
We offer orthodontic alternatives such as short-term braces and clear aligners to provide more convenient teeth-straightening options for our adult patients. Invisalign is a popular choice because it is so discreet – nearly invisible – so you do not have to announce that you have braces to the world every time you smile.
Invisalign can resolve many orthodontic issues such as irregular spacing between teeth, protruding teeth, overbite, underbite and most misalignment issues.
If you have a complex orthodontic case that is beyond the scope of treatment possible with Invisalign, Dr Amir can recommend another option to help you achieve the best results.
The best way to determine if Invisalign will work for you is to contact our Pascoe Vale dental clinic to arrange an orthodontic evaluation. This comprehensive exam allows us to provide you with a full range of options and support you in choosing the treatment that best suits your needs. Each patient is unique, and our focus is on helping you maintain good oral health and a confident smile.
For the very best results, we recommend a dental clean and polish to remove any tartar before beginning your whitening routine. This allows the whitening gel to come in direct contact with enamel rather than with tartar.
Having a dental exam and clean will also give Dr Amir an opportunity to rule out any oral health conditions, such as gum disease and decay, that could hamper your cosmetic dentistry results.
If you would like an overall brighter smile, we may recommend that you first whiten your teeth before you proceed with restorations such as dental fillings, crowns and veneers because your dental restorations will not whiten like your natural teeth.
We will discuss how to best prepare for your cosmetic dentistry treatment at your consult.
The best way to learn about your options is to contact our Pascoe Vale dental clinic to arrange a consultation with Dr Amir. He will listen to your concerns and create a treatment plan tailored to your needs, with a focus on improving oral health and supporting your smile.
We also welcome you to contact our clinic directly for specific questions about the cosmetic dentistry services we offer in the Pascoe Vale and Glenroy, VIC area.

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.
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:
We welcome your call if you want to talk to a dental team member about professional teeth whitening. You can call us on (03) 9300 1061 to arrange an appointment.
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!
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.
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.
We invite you to arrange a consultation with us today!
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.
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.
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.
