Cosmetic Dentistry for Women

A Woman’s Perspective and Understanding

Home >> Cosmetic Dentistry for Women

Aesthetic changes can never be ‘one-size-fits-all’, and in reality the standards of beauty can vary greatly between a male and female perspective.

A smile journey is a partnership of trust between a patient and a practitioner.

Dr Yvonne King | Aesthetic Dentist BDSc, MSc (Aesthetic Dentistry) So many women come to my practice and express dismay at the same concern: that the dentists they have spoken to don’t listen for their needs, or simply don’t understand them.

Whether we like it or not, our appearance plays an especially relevant role in our lives. As a professional woman whose majority of patients are female, I can certainly empathise with the social pressures we contend with. More and more often I am meeting women who feel as though they are not really being listened to, or simply can’t communicate their true needs to their general or cosmetic dentist.

Aesthetic changes can never be ‘one-size-fits-all’, and in reality the standards of beauty can vary greatly between a male and female perspective. Men and women perceive, feel and see things differently, and we certainly communicate differently! You know the whole ‘Venus and Mars’ thing… A smile journey is a partnership of trust between a patient and a practitioner.

No two women I see are ever the same; and nor are two smiles. Before I discuss your aesthetic or treatment options, the first thing I do is get to know you from the ground up: your passions, interests, wellbeing, aspirations for the future, and stories from your past.

But most importantly, understand why you seek change. What is the drive, what is your goal, and how can it be achieved? When a woman feels more comfortable opening up and sharing these very personal feelings, it’s no coincidence that it makes it easier to recognise her needs.

A beautiful, feminine smile that now truly reflects her age and personality

Evaluating our physical appearance is something deeply personal. When we consider changing something about ourselves, even something as simple as a new hairstyle, the fear of not being completely understood and therefore satisfied can be a real hurdle.

It can be even more overwhelming when we open ourselves to another person (like a dentist) to guide us through those changes. As an aesthetic dentist, forming a relationship of confidence with patients is paramount in order to understand, respect and relate to their unique desires and expectations.

Only then can we design a path to your new smile. Do we seek rejuvenation or re-invention? Is it subtle or dramatic? Life-changing or life-affirming? As an aesthetic dentist, my duty is to ensure you feel in control of your appearance.

When we are sensitive to the diverse and unique needs of every woman, we can achieve incredible outcomes and create a smile that harmonises with both her appearance and personality. If you would like to discuss the possibilities for your dental and facial aesthetics, I invite you to arrange a time with me, and perhaps together we can discover a new perspective about your smile’s potential.

CLDC is the first dental practice I have been to where I genuinely feel cared for. The whole team are amazing. The guys at reception are so friendly and especially Tony and Chloe have made me feel so relaxed and at ease. Deb needs a special mention as she gave me the confidence to go ahead with such a huge procedure. She explained everything and it didn't matter how long I took or how many questions I had. She even called and texted me before and after my surgery to make sure I was ok!I had all of my upper teeth removed and replaced by implants. Dr Houman Larijani was amazing. He is clearly extremely experienced and talented in his field and I would recommend him to everyone that needs implants. He is so patient and gentle. He always explained everything carefully. Nothing was rushed and I loved that he saw me on day one, performed the surgery, and saw me at every appointment. That personal consistency made a big difference.I am so thrilled with the outcome that it is actually life changing. My teeth look and feel amazing.Thank you so much to everyone at CLDC!read more

I was absolutely enamored at the result I achieved with my Invisalign treatment, so very happy that I can finally smile, no longer being self-conscious about my misaligned teeth. Dr King’s attention to detail is second to none. Thank you so much for everything. xx :-)

These guys are simply the best dentists I have ever used. Having just landed from a long haul flight with a bit of a dental crisis, they had me come straight in and gave me a 10/10 experience - expert dental work, outstanding customer care and great local tips on what to see and do as well. I can’t fault them and would recommend them in a heartbeat

I have never written a more deserving review. I went to Dr Yvonne King after a lengthy search for a reputable dentist in Melbourne. I wanted to get ill fitting composite veneers (applied at a different dentist) fixed. Dr. King didn't just fix the veneers, she removed them and restored my natural teeth to something I can barely recognise as my own they are so beautiful. To have a dentist give me advice on all my options including restoration of my natural teeth, not just more expensive veneers is rare & priceless & I'm extremely grateful. The team at the clinic are all as lovely as each other, welcoming, professional and so kind as I cried from happiness in their reception area! I have high standards & don't give reviews easily - there aren't enough stars to give for my experience with CLDC. Thank you Dr. Yvonne King & Team!read more

I had my 1st consultation with Dr Yvonne back in 2019 for porcelain veneers. Unfortunately i wasn't ready to go ahead with it due to my life circumstances at that particular time but I knew that when I was to decide,I would only go back to CLDC. I got my determination back this year and I certainly only regret not doing it earlier! It was such a smooth journey to my brand new teeth that gave me not only a brand new smile,but a brand new life with a highly improved self-esteem,confidence.I can smile now without holding back.So many people around me notice my amazing new smile and they all tell me how natural they look and how well they match my face. The entire team at CLDC is amazing, from the front desk, to Deb who always goes above and beyond to organise your new smile journey, to ofcourse dr Yvonne,all the dentists(special thanks to dr Tran and dr Daniel), ,hygienists,assistants.Such a friendly environment and I always look forward to my appointments.I highly recommend CLDC to everyone and I am so lucky having the most amazing smile now! Thank you!read more

I was faced with a dental emergency over the weekend. I cannot speak highly enough of Dr King, Deb and staff. They truly went out of their way to help. The service at CLDC is always excellent, but I did not expect such prompt, efficient service with a smile out of normal hours. Thank you so much.

I've been going to CLDC for over 10 years now. Yvonne is an absolute superstar when it comes to cosmetic dentistry and only employs the best. My current dentist, Daniel, is a very talented and passionate dentist who knows what he's doing and does it extremely well. Also, the rest of the team including Tony are super professional and take care of their clients very well. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

They were the only clinic around me who offered help with my specific issue. Called them in the morning and Chloe was able to get me in, get my X-rays, and get my treatment without me having to run around everywhere. Not saying they can do this as it’s subject to availability but the helpfulness of her, the staff when I was there and the dentists were absolutely impeccable. Never have I been given such amazing service and help from a clinic. Really appreciate what they did for me!

Most friendly and nicest staff. I feel so welcomed and comfortable and recovering nicely after my gum graft a few days ago. They were the only dentist that I went to that didn’t straight away say I need orthodontic treatment and gave me other options as well hence why I went with the gum graft. I travel from the other side of town for a reason. You guys are the best. Can’t wait to see my final results when I fully heal. Thank you

Two and a half years ago Dr King and staff gave me a smile. Now when I bump into friends, I give them a great big grin and they know just how happy and more confident I am. Your generosity and kindness will never be forgotten.Thank you so much Yvonne and girls for making my life a happier one :)
