Cosmetic Dentistry
If discolouration, chips, wear, gaps or uneven teeth are affecting your confidence, our cosmetic dentist can explain the available treatment options.
Cosmetic care may include:
- Professional teeth whitening
- Porcelain or composite veneers
- Dental crowns
- Tooth-coloured bonding
- Clear aligners (Invisalign and Angel Aligner)
- Restorative smile treatments
Every cosmetic plan begins with an assessment of your teeth, gums and bite. We focus on natural-looking results that complement your features while supporting comfortable function and long-term oral health.
Professional Teeth Whitening
Coffee, tea, wine, tobacco and ageing can gradually affect tooth colour. Professionally supervised teeth whitening can reduce many common stains and lighten suitable natural teeth.
Before recommending whitening, we assess your oral health and discuss any sensitivity. Existing crowns, fillings, veneers and implant restorations do not whiten, so their position and shade must be considered during treatment planning
Veneers and Dental Crowns
Veneers cover the visible front surface of selected teeth and may improve minor chips, uneven shapes, worn edges, small gaps or persistent discolouration.
Dental crowns cover the entire visible tooth and provide greater structural support. They may be recommended for teeth that are extensively filled, cracked, weakened or treated with root canal therapy.
The appropriate option depends on the condition of the tooth, the amount of healthy structure remaining and what you want to achieve.
Clear Aligners
This treatment uses a sequence of removable clear aligners to gradually move teeth. Treatment may be suitable for selected cases involving crowding, spaces, rotations and certain bite concerns. We offer Invisalign and Angel Aligner treatments.
Your teeth, gums, roots and bite must be assessed before clear aligner treatment begins. Clear aligner treatments also require consistent aligner wear, professional monitoring and retainers after active treatment.
Dental Implants
Dental implants can replace one or more missing teeth by supporting a crown, bridge or denture. Treatment is planned around your gum health, available jawbone, medical history and proposed restoration.
Patients with extensive tooth loss may also be assessed for fixed full-arch solutions, including treatment concepts commonly known as all-on-X dental implants (or All-on-4 dental implants).
Implant treatment generally occurs in stages and requires ongoing professional maintenance. We will explain the available alternatives and only recommend surgery when it is suitable for your circumstances.
Zirconia and Ceramic Dental Implants
Alongside conventional titanium implants, Dental Care Group assesses suitable patients for zirconia dental implants. Also known as ceramic dental implants, zirconia provides an ivory-coloured, metal-free implant option.
Restorative Dentistry
Decay, trauma, infection and everyday wear can affect the appearance and function of your teeth. Our restorative treatments are designed to repair damage, rebuild weakened teeth and replace missing teeth where appropriate.
Depending on your needs, treatment may involve a filling, ceramic inlay or onlay, crown, bridge, root canal procedure or implant restoration. Materials are selected to provide a comfortable, functional and natural-looking result.
Holistic and Biological Dentistry
At Dental Care Group, we understand that oral health does not exist in isolation. Medical conditions, medications, sleep, lifestyle and personal sensitivities can all influence the health of your mouth.
A holistic dentist will consider these factors alongside the condition of your teeth, gums and bite. Patients searching for a biological dentist can also discuss biocompatibility, restorative materials and metal-free options with our team.
Holistic and biological care may include:
- Preventive and minimally invasive dentistry
- Personalised material selection
- Mercury-free restorations
- Safe amalgam removal
- Zirconia implant assessments
- Saliva and oral environment evaluation
- Sleep and airway-related dental assessment
- Collaboration with medical and allied health practitioners
Dental Care Group is a mercury-free practice. We provide amalgam removal using protective measures based on the SMART protocol when replacing an existing filling is clinically appropriate.

Incredible team and placePosted on Aaron Black22/01/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I saw Dr Charlie Kong and his hygienist-Ms Desiree (Desi) Bolado for check-up and cleaning. Both of them were great. I found that Charlie is an exceptional dentist, very professional, skilled, Knowledgeable, meticulous and caring. Charlie actually showed me the X-rays and took time to explain his diagnoses and treatment options clearly and answered all my questions patiently, making me feel like a partner in my own dental care. I trusted him completely. He only recommended the work that is absolutely necessary. His recommendations are definitely in my best long-term interest. Desiree, the dental hygienist, was steady-handed and had a truly gentle touch and constantly checked if I'm comfortable. She had an incredible eye for details and spotted some areas I was missing. Her cleaning was incredibly thorough but still gentle, in removing every bit of plaque and tartar. She also gave me some helpful flossing advice and showed me the techniques I never knew before. I left their office not only with a healthier mouth but also with more knowledge and less anxiety about my next visit. The front desk staff was very friendly and efficient and I felt so comfortable and welcomed. The entire clinic is spotless and well-organized.
