Teeth Whitening
Ask your dental practitioner about teeth whitening at your next checkup and clean!
Brighten up your smile with in-office whitening (Opalescence Boost) and/or take-home whitening (Opalescence PF). We use safe evidence-based and low-sensitivity teeth whitening materials to make sure you receive the best and most comfortable treatment to keep your teeth and gums healthy and beautiful.
- Opalescence PF: This is a custom-made whitening kit that requires impressions of your teeth and trays made by your dentist. You can wear the trays with the whitening gel for 60 minutes to overnight, depending on your sensitivity and lifestyle.
- Opalescence Boost: This is an in-office whitening treatment that is performed by your dentist in about 2 hours. The whitening gel is activated by a special light and contains potassium nitrate and fluoride to reduce sensitivity and strengthen your enamel.
Opalescence teeth whitening products are safe, effective, and backed by scientific research. They contain ingredients that protect your enamel, prevent dehydration, and enhance the whitening effect.
If you are interested in Opalescence teeth whitening, you should consult with your dentist who can recommend the best option for you. You can also learn more about Opalescence teeth whitening by visiting their website
Fillings and crowns do not whiten, and some whitening treatments are not suitable for people with gum disease or tooth decay.
Dysport
Dysport ( Botulinum toxin) for TMJD (Temporomandibular Joint Disorders)
- TMJD can turn your jaw joint into a grumpy old troll. It causes pain, stiffness, and sometimes even locking of the jaw. Not fun, right? Well, enter Dysport—the friendly neighborhood muscle relaxant.
- Dysport injections into the jaw muscles can calm them down. Think of it as a spa day for those overworked jaw muscles. They loosen up, take a deep breath, and say, “Ahh, that’s better!” Pain relief achieved!
Dysport for Wrinkles
- Dysport is like a wrinkle whisperer. Those pesky lines—crow’s feet, forehead furrows, and the infamous “elevens” between the brows—meet their match.
- How? Dysport temporarily paralyzes the muscles responsible for those wrinkles. Voilà! Smooth skin without the drama
Dysport for the Gummy Smile
- You know that smile where your gums steal the show? It’s cute, but sometimes we want more teeth, less gums. Dysport to the rescue!
- By injecting Dysport into the upper lip muscles, we tone them down. Result? Your smile reveals more teeth, less gum. Picture-perfect!
Braces
Braces are devices used in orthodontics to align and straighten teeth and help position them to improve your bite and smile. They consist of small brackets that are attached to your teeth and wires that connect them. The wires apply gentle pressure to your teeth, gradually moving them into the desired position. Braces are usually worn for one to three years depending on the severity.
Orthodontics aim to improve dental health for optimised oral hygiene and better tongue posture for airway efficiency. They are used to correct underbites, as well as malocclusions, TMJ dirsorders, overbites, open bites, gaps, deep bites, cross bites, crooked teeth, and more. Braces can be cosmetic, functional or both.
Dental braces may be used in conjunction with other orthodontic appliances to help widen the palate or jaws and to otherwise assist in shaping the teeth and jaws.

Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are a type of orthodontic device that can help you straighten your teeth without metal braces. They are made of transparent plastic and fit snugly over your teeth, making them less noticeable than traditional braces. Clear aligners work by applying gentle pressure to your teeth, gradually moving them into the desired position. You will need to wear a series of aligners, each one slightly different from the previous one, to achieve your ideal smile.
There are different brands of clear aligners available in Australia, such as SureSmile, Invisalign, Spark, Race, Reveal and Clear Correct. Each brand has its own features, benefits, costs, and treatment time. Here at Dental Garden our preferred clear aligner system is SureSmile by Dentsply Sirona, a well trusted German dental manufacturing company. We love SureSmile because the treatment plan is designed by a specialist orthodontist, and is then customised by the dentist and technician until we have designed your ideal smile goals.
We use 3D digital scanning, photography and CBCT (3D digital radiography) to correlate your teeth, gums, face and bone to aid in safety and predicatbility of results.
If you are interested in clear aligners, you should consult with a qualified dentist or orthodontist who can assess your teeth and recommend the best treatment for you. You can also learn more about SureSmile clear aligners by visiting their website
Veneers and Bonding
Dental veneers are thin covers of porcelain or resin that are fixed to the front of your teeth. They can help improve the appearance of your teeth by hiding chips, cracks, stains, and other visual flaws. Veneers are one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry procedures.
Depending on the patient’s objectives, there are numerous types of veneers available. The most common types are:
Porcelain veneers: These are custom-made shells that are created in a dental laboratory and then bonded to your teeth. They are durable, realistic, and resistant to stains, but they require more tooth preparation and may be more expensive than other types2.
Composite resin veneers: These are applied directly to your teeth in layers and then shaped and polished by your dentist. They are cheaper, faster, and less invasive than porcelain veneers, but they may not last as long or look as natural.
No-prep veneers: These are thin porcelain or resin shells that require little or no tooth reduction. They are less painful and quicker to apply than traditional veneers, but they may not be suitable for everyone or for every tooth problem.
If you are interested in getting dental veneers, you should consult with a qualified dentist who can assess your teeth and recommend the best option for you.
