Cosmetic Dentistry

Many people want to improve how their teeth look and function. Cosmetic dentistry is part of general dental care that helps enhance the look of your smile with treatments that align, whiten, or improve the shape of your teeth.

Common procedures include:

  • Porcelain veneers
  • White fillings
  • Teeth whitening
  • Orthodontics and clear braces
  • Dental implants

These treatments use specialised techniques and equipment and are performed by skilled dental professionals. Our practice is proud to offer high-quality dental care, helping many patients achieve great results.

If you'd like to learn more about what cosmetic dentistry can do, your Coorparoo dentist can provide detailed information in a friendly and welcoming environment. We are here to support you and explain how treatments work and what to expect during the process.

Routine Dentistry

Routine dental appointments are essential to maintain good oral health and a happy smile. A standard dental check-up is carried out by an experienced, qualified dentist in Coorparoo and is the best way to spot any problems with your mouth before they become serious.

A family dentist in Coorparoo is ideal for those with children because the child may be more reassured seeing the same dentist as their parents. Both adults and children require routine dental appointments on a regular basis because preventative dentistry with a qualified health practitioner is the key to keeping your mouth healthy.

Routine dental appointments are usually carried out every six months, but the number of times you need to attend these appointments varies from patient to patient.

Some patients may require more frequent visits, while others may need to come into the practice less often – your dentist in Coorparoo will advise you on how often you need to visit.

If you've been searching for your Coorparoo Family Dental Practice look no further, Brisbane Laser Dentist are happy to welcome you and your family.

Dr Rui Gao
Dr Rui Gao
Dentist

BDSc
University of Queensland

Rui (Ree) has wanted to be a dentist for as long as she remembers. In 2006 she graduated as a dentist at the University of Queensland. With over 10 years of experience, Rui is a caring, dedicated and compassionate dentist. She doesn't believe anything is complicated; there is always a simple solution.

Rui enjoys all aspects of dentistry, particularly restorative and cosmetic dentistry. With the knowledge that poor oral health can affect a person's general health, preventative dentistry is an integral part of her practice; we all know the old saying 'prevention is better than cure'.

Rui has recently completed a 2 year orthodontic course to gain more understanding in teeth movements. Having 2 young children, she wanted more knowledge in identifying malocclusions (incorrect bites/positions) and when it is appropriate for early interceptive treatments. Rui's goal for the future is furthering her education on children's dentistry, airway health and cosmetic dentistry. She is currently working on obtaining her LA&HA Masters in Laser Dentistry.

When she is not a dentist, Rui is running around after her young primary school children. Being a mother is definitely harder than being a dentist.

Rui speaks Mandarin and is laser accredited.

Onsite parking available. Call (07) 3397 1216 for details.
