Cosmetic Dentistry
Dr Eric Kropinak has more than 18 years of experience transforming smiles and is pleased to offer modern cosmetic dentistry in Garran, ACT.
Our goal with cosmetic dentistry is to help you love your smile and enjoy the benefits of all that modern dentistry has to offer.
Issues That Cosmetic Dentistry Can Address
Today’s cosmetic dentistry can address almost any smile flaw, including:
- Gummy smiles
- Broken or misshapen teeth
- Discoloured or stained teeth
- Unusual spacing
- Midline discrepancies
- Slightly crooked teeth
Whether you’re looking to hide a single tooth flaw or transform your smile, we have options that meet most price points and your personal goals.
Professional Teeth Whitening
Kits and whitening systems purchased in shops or online may not be safe for your teeth and gums or give you the results you were hoping for. With professional teeth whitening in Garran, your dentist ensures our systems are safe for your specific oral health profile, and you can expect predictable results under the direction of your team.
Typically, we start you with a professional teeth clean to enhance your results.
Currently, we use Philips Zoom! WhiteSpeed in-chair teeth whitening system, the No. 1 patient requested whitening brand* (*in the USA). Please note that not all teeth whitening systems are the same.
Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are thin but durable tooth shells cemented to the forward-facing parts of teeth. These shells can conceal most dental flaws, including:
- Gummy smiles
- Slightly crooked teeth
- Worn or short teeth
- Midline issues
- Unusually shaped teeth
- Small gaps between teeth
With veneers, you can expect a symmetrical smile and a predictable result.
Cosmetic Fillings
Cosmetic fillings, also called tooth-coloured fillings, are made of composite resin shaded to blend in with your tooth’s natural colour. Your dentist can also use composite to conceal tooth flaws like cracks and discolouration in a method called bonding.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns can hide tooth flaws while restoring the bite force to an at-risk tooth. This makes dental crowns both cosmetic and restorative.
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cover custom-made to fit over a prepared tooth.
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is a restoration tooth or teeth situated between dental crowns. Your dentist uses the crowns to cap healthy teeth, allowing the restorations to complete your smile.
Dental Implants
Dental implants in Garran restore your tooth and its valuable root, promoting jawbone health and a renewed bite force.
Cosmetic Dentistry Candidacy and Upkeep
You first come to our dental clinic to learn whether cosmetic dentistry suits you. Next, we want to learn about your smile goals, so we can recommend the treatments that best help you achieve them. This is also a great time to ask questions and share your concerns with the dentist.
After cosmetic dentistry treatment, we provide tips and aftercare instructions to help you maintain your new look. One of the essential guidelines is regularly visiting your cosmetic dentist in Garran for checkups and teeth cleans.
Regular dental care promotes a lasting result by lowering your risks for complications like gum disease. And regular teeth cleanings may keep a treated smile whiter for longer!

For individuals with discoloured, misshapen, or misaligned but otherwise healthy teeth, dental veneers offer a non-invasive path to a better-looking smile.
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells (typically of porcelain) that are bonded to the fronts of teeth in order to improve their appearance. As veneers are only a cosmetic solution, it’s vital that issues like tooth decay or gum disease be addressed beforehand. While veneers are a long-term solution, they are, in fact, not permanent.
How Long Do Veneers Last?
With proper care, veneers can be expected to last, on average, between 10 and 15 years. This care includes:
- Good oral hygiene (brushing daily with a non-abrasive toothpaste, flossing regularly)
- Regular dental exams
- Not biting or chewing on hard objects
- Avoiding excessive teeth grinding or clenching
Of course, as each person’s dental profile and oral hygiene habits are unique, consult with a qualified dental professional for a reasonable estimate of longevity.
Also, there are risks associated with a surgical or invasive procedure. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
Dental Veneers in Garran, ACT
If you’re in the Garran and Canberra area and would like more information about dental veneers, dentist Dr Eric Kropinak and the team at Telopea Park Dental are available for a consultation.
Thanks to the non-porous materials used for porcelain veneers, they are highly resistant to stains that can result from the pigments in food, drinks, or tobacco. As a result, assuming proper care, veneers tend to remain stain-free and maintain their original colour.
However, it's worth noting that the bonding material used to attach the veneers to natural teeth can become discoloured over time, especially with exposure to staining agents like coffee, red wine, or tobacco.
How to Keep Veneers Stain-Free
To help the bonding material used in dental veneers keep its natural colour, it is recommended that patients:
- Avoid excessive consumption of the aforementioned staining agents, as well as others, like beets and red berries.
- Commit to an oral hygiene routine that includes brushing at least twice daily with a non-abrasive toothpaste and flossing regularly.
- Schedule regular dental exams to maximise the lifespan of dental veneers.
Please note that any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.

How Cosmetic Dentistry Can Improve Your Oral Health
A dentist's job is to help patients maintain oral health by ensuring the form and function of their teeth, gums, and jawbones. There's an aesthetic element to this, though that's more of a positive side effect. Good oral health tends to coincide with a nice smile.
There is, of course, an entire branch of dentistry more focused on these cosmetic aspects, referred to, appropriately, as "cosmetic dentistry." However, despite its name, cosmetic dentistry plays an important role in oral health.
