After a dental examination, we will review and discuss your diagnosis and treatment options with you, ensuring you are fully equipped to make the best possible decision for your smile. Before the day of your surgery, we will brief you on how to prepare for it the special day and what to expect during the appointment.
Our dedicated cosmetic dental surgeons Adelaide are here to take care of you every step of the way until you achieve the smile you have hoped for.
Personalised Cosmetic Dentistry and Smile Makeovers
A smile enhancement at Lidums Dental is a carefully planned journey, designed to bring out the best in your natural features. By combining specialist cosmetic treatments such as veneers or crowns to mask imperfections, professional whitening for brightness and “instant orthodontic” techniques to quickly straighten and reshape teeth, we can create a balanced, confident smile without years of traditional braces. Every plan is tailored to your facial shape, gum line, tooth alignment and lip position so the result looks natural, not “done”.
Our Instant Orthodontic solutions are ideal when you are seeking faster outcomes with high quality results. Using modern resin, acrylic and ceramic materials, we can close gaps, correct crooked edges and rebuild worn teeth, and in more complex cases combine this with advanced options such as All On 4 “Teeth in a Day” treatment. Many patients tell us they not only love their new smile, but also feel a real lift in self confidence and are more comfortable showing their teeth in photos and everyday life.

Cosmetic Dentistry at Lidums Dental: What Issues Can It Improve?
Cosmetic dentistry at Lidums Dental is designed to enhance both the look and function of your teeth. By combining advanced options such as instant orthodontics, veneers, crowns, whitening and implant solutions, we can address a wide range of concerns in a coordinated, carefully planned way.
Cosmetic dentistry may help if you are concerned about:
- Tooth discolouration or staining
- Chipped, cracked or worn teeth
- Uneven, short or irregularly shaped teeth
- Gaps or crowding where you would like straighter looking teeth without years of braces
- Old crowns or fillings that no longer match your natural teeth
- Missing teeth or a bite that affects chewing and facial support
- A gummy smile or uneven gum line
- Teeth that work well but do not look the way you would like
- Feeling self conscious about smiling in photos or during everyday conversations
With our comprehensive approach, noticeable aesthetic and functional improvements can often be achieved more quickly than with traditional orthodontics alone. In many cases we create a Trial Smile first, so you can preview the proposed shape and length of your teeth before treatment is finalised. This lets us fine tune the design together and helps ensure your new smile feels natural, confident and uniquely yours.

Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
What cosmetic dentistry services does Lidums Dental offer?
At Lidums Dental, our cosmetic dentistry services include porcelain veneers, smile makeovers, teeth whitening, the Dental Face Lift, and full dental transformations. Every treatment plan is personalised by Dr Arnis Lidums, a Board Qualified Prosthodontist with over 40 years of experience, ensuring your results are both beautiful and built to last.
How is a prosthodontist different from a general dentist for cosmetic work?
A prosthodontist is a dental specialist with advanced postgraduate training in the aesthetics, function, and restoration of teeth. Unlike a general dentist offering cosmetic treatments as a side service, Dr Lidums has dedicated his entire career to this field. This level of expertise means complex cases, such as full smile makeovers or the Dental Face Lift are planned and executed with a higher degree of precision and predictability.
How do I know which cosmetic treatment is right for me?
The best starting point is a consultation with Dr Lidums, who will assess your teeth, gums, bite, and facial aesthetics together. For example, minor staining may be resolved with professional whitening, while chips, gaps, or uneven teeth often respond better to veneers or a full smile makeover. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach, your treatment is designed around your goals, your anatomy, and your budget.
How long do cosmetic dental results last?
Longevity depends on the treatment. Professional teeth whitening typically lasts 1–2 years with good maintenance. Porcelain veneers, when crafted and placed correctly, can last 10–15+ years. Smile makeovers and dental transformations involve restorations designed for durability over the long term. Dr Lidums’s specialist training means your results are planned not just for looks, but for lasting function.
Does private health insurance cover cosmetic dentistry, and does Lidums Dental offer payment plans?
Most cosmetic procedures are not covered by health funds as they are considered elective. However, some components, such as crowns used in a smile makeover, may attract a partial rebate depending on your fund and level of cover. Lidums Dental accepts Bupa, HCF, Medibank, nib, and more. We also offer flexible payment plan options so cost doesn’t have to be a barrier to the smile you want.
I've had dental anxiety in the past, can I still have cosmetic work done comfortably?
Absolutely. Lidums Dental offers sleep dentistry (IV sedation), allowing anxious patients to undergo cosmetic procedures in a completely relaxed, comfortable state. Many of our patients who previously avoided the dentist have completed full smile transformations using this option. Our team is experienced in caring for anxious patients and will always take the time to make you feel at ease before any treatment begins.
