Cosmetic Treatments
Dental Injectable Treatments
What is cosmetic dental treatment?
Cosmetic or aesthetic dental treatment encompasses any procedure designed to improve the appearance of the teeth, gums or smile. At Dental Lounge, this includes a combination of cosmetic teeth treatments, such as orthodontics, whitening, veneers and gum contouring that elevate the overall result.
We can use these treatments to:
- Soften smile lines or facial creases
- Relax the masseter muscle to reduce jaw tension or create facial slimming
- Improve lip support following cosmetic treatment for teeth
- Correct the appearance of a gummy smile in conjunction with our gum contouring treatment
The benefits
Cosmetic dental treatments go beyond aesthetic enhancements by providing functional relief for common dental concerns. Here’s how our treatments can help:
Reduce jaw tension and headaches
Overactive jaw muscles (masseters) can lead to teeth grinding, TMJ discomfort and tension headaches. These treatments can help relax these muscles, reducing strain and preventing long-term damage to your teeth and jaw.
Improve overall facial harmony
Your smile is a key part of your facial aesthetics. By addressing concerns like deep smile lines, a gummy smile or loss of volume post-orthodontic work, dental cosmetic treatments create a more youthful, natural-looking appearance that complements your features.
Gummy Smile Treatment
Masseter Treatment
At our practices, all treatments are performed by our sought-after dentists who are specially trained in medical facial anatomy. If you would like to fix a gummy smile, the careful and precise use of our cosmetic treatments can deliver instant results.
Need to know:
The treatment aims to relax hyperactive muscles in the upper lip, which will help to cover your gums when you smile, so that it’s your beautiful teeth, rather than your gums, that people will notice.
Duration: This treatment can be completed in approximately 15 minutes.
Masseter Treatment
Could you be grinding your teeth in your sleep? The careful placement of this aesthetic dental treatment into the large chewing muscles (TMJ) can help relieve headaches and jaw aches associated with grinding and clenching.
Need to know:
This simple and quick treatment can greatly improve your wellbeing if you clench or grind your teeth. We’ll guide you through the process and determine exactly where you will benefit from the most.
Duration: This treatment can be completed in approximately 15 minutes.
During your initial consultation, we’ll work closely with you to understand your needs, whether it’s correcting a gummy smile or alleviating pain associated with clenching your jaw.
Our depth of knowledge of facial medical anatomy means we can quickly identify the muscles that would benefit most from dental cosmetic treatments in Sydney.
Your dentist will guide you through the process to ensure your appointment is as comfortable as possible. In as little as 15 minutes, the result will be a highly natural, yet elevated aesthetic.
After an injectable treatment, you may notice some swelling or redness afterwards. However, rest assured this is nothing serious and most patients find they can return to work on the day of their treatment.
Note: Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.

Discover a thoughtful approach to cosmetic dental treatments
At Dental Lounge, your safety, comfort and confidence are our highest priorities. That’s why every dental treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation to ensure you’re not only a good candidate for treatment but also that you feel fully informed, supported and in control every step of the way.
We take the time to understand both your mental and physical wellbeing, your aesthetic goals, as well as any medical history or concerns that might influence your treatment plan.

- Any previous treatments you’ve had and how your body has responded
- Facial symmetry, skin type, dental history and muscle activity
- How this treatment can complement other aesthetic dental treatments such as Invisalign or gum contouring
- All possible side effects (including short-term swelling or bruising), rare complications and realistic longevity of results
Our goal is never to rush you into a decision. We provide honest advice, clear explanations and a calm, welcoming environment so you can decide what’s best for your body and your smile. It’s all part of our approach to cosmetic treatment for teeth and facial aesthetics — where your wellbeing comes first.

The Knowledge
A dental implant is a titanium post surgically positioned into the jawbone beneath your gum line. The final result is an artificial tooth that looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth.
If you’d like to improve the overall colour, shape, and positioning of your smile, veneers could be the perfect solution.

FAQs
Most patients describe our dental aesthetic treatments as feeling like a small pinch or mild pressure. At Dental Lounge, we use a gentle approach and advanced techniques to ensure your experience is as comfortable as possible and that discomfort is minimal and short-lived.
Pain is subjective, but most patients report only minor discomfort that’s far less than they expect. Because these treatments are quick and precisely placed, any sensation felt is brief. For more sensitive patients or those receiving other aesthetic dental treatments, numbing agents may be applied beforehand to ensure maximum comfort.
The effects of dental cosmetic treatments typically last between three and six months, depending on the treatment area and your individual response.
Side effects can include any of the following:
- Slight redness
- Swelling
- Tenderness at the treatment site
Typically, these effects subside within 24–48 hours. These temporary effects are a normal part of the process and do not impact the overall results of your cosmetic teeth treatment. Rest assured, our team will inform you about any and all side effects related to your treatment plan during your initial consultation.
The depth of treatment depends on the intended purpose. Treatments for facial aesthetics, such as those used in teeth cosmetic treatment plans, are typically placed just below the skin or into the targeted muscle group, like the masseter.
Our team uses a tailored approach to ensure safety, precision and results that blend seamlessly with the rest of your cosmetic dental treatments — all of which will be discussed with you during consultation.
