Odin House Dental Surgery is located at 3/8 Odin Rd, Innaloo WA 6018. While we are not located in Westminster, we welcome and regularly treat patients from Westminster and the surrounding areas.

Odin House Dental Surgery provides porcelain veneers, ZOOM teeth whitening, composite bonding, dental crowns, and Invisalign for patients from Westminster and across the Perth metropolitan area.

Dr Johannes Yap (Registered Dental Practitioner, DEN0001580350) assesses each patient’s teeth, gum health, and cosmetic concerns to recommend the right treatment approach. If you would like to discuss your options, call us at (08) 9468 7182 to arrange a consultation.

What Cosmetic Concern Are You Looking to Address?

The right treatment depends on what is bothering you. Here is a guide to help you understand which options may be relevant to your situation:

Matching your concern to the treatments that can address it
If You Are Concerned About	Options Worth Discussing
Stained or discoloured teeth	ZOOM teeth whitening, porcelain veneers
Chipped, cracked, or worn teeth	Composite bonding, porcelain veneers, dental crowns
Gaps between teeth	Composite bonding, porcelain veneers, Invisalign
Uneven tooth shape or size	Porcelain veneers, composite bonding
Old dark fillings showing	Tooth-coloured fillings, porcelain inlays or onlays
Crooked or crowded teeth	Invisalign clear aligners
Multiple concerns at once	Smile makeover (combination of treatments planned together)

Not sure where to start? That is completely normal. During a consultation, Dr Johannes Yap assesses your teeth and discusses what is achievable based on your individual situation. There is no obligation to proceed.

Porcelain Veneers

Veneers are thin shells of porcelain bonded to the front surface of your teeth. They are one of the more versatile cosmetic options because they can address several concerns at once, including colour, shape, size, and minor alignment issues.

Veneers may be worth considering if you have concerns about:

Discolouration that has not responded to whitening
Chipped, cracked, or worn front teeth
Gaps between teeth
Uneven tooth shape or size
Minor alignment issues you would rather not use braces for

The process typically involves two appointments. At the first visit, your teeth are prepared and impressions are taken. Temporary veneers are placed while your custom porcelain veneers are fabricated by a dental laboratory. At the second visit, the permanent veneers are bonded in place and adjusted for fit and bite.

Important: Veneer placement involves irreversible removal of a thin layer of tooth enamel. Once placed, those teeth will always need some form of restoration. Dr Yap discusses this thoroughly during your consultation at Odin House Dental so you can make an informed decision.

ZOOM Teeth Whitening

Professional whitening uses a hydrogen peroxide-based agent to reduce surface staining and discolouration. Odin House Dental uses the Philips ZOOM system, which is applied in-chair and activated with a special light. The appointment takes approximately 45 minutes.

Whitening may be suitable if you have concerns about:

Staining from coffee, tea, red wine, or food
Discolouration from natural ageing
Uneven tooth colour

Results vary between individuals depending on the type and severity of staining. Whitening will not change the colour of existing crowns, veneers, or fillings, so if you are planning other cosmetic work, Dr Yap coordinates the order of treatment at your consultation. Some temporary tooth sensitivity during or after treatment is possible.

Composite Bonding

Composite bonding uses tooth-coloured resin material applied directly to the surface of your teeth and shaped by hand. It is a less invasive alternative to veneers and is often completed in a single visit with little to no enamel removal.

Bonding may be suitable if you have:

A chipped or cracked tooth you want repaired
Small gaps between teeth
Minor reshaping needs (uneven edges, slightly short teeth)
A single discoloured tooth that does not match the rest

Composite bonding is generally less expensive than porcelain veneers, though it is not as durable. Bonding typically lasts 5 to 7 years before it may need to be repaired or replaced, compared to 10 to 15 years for porcelain. At Odin House Dental, Dr Yap often recommends bonding as a starting point for patients who want an improvement without committing to an irreversible procedure.

Comparing Your Cosmetic Treatment Options

Each cosmetic treatment involves different trade-offs. This table provides a general comparison to help you understand the key differences.

How common cosmetic dental treatments compare across key factors
Treatment	What It Treats	Visits	Typical Longevity	Reversible?
Porcelain veneers	Colour, shape, size, minor alignment, gaps	2	10 to 15 years	No (enamel removal required)
Composite bonding	Chips, small gaps, minor reshaping, single-tooth colour	1	5 to 7 years	Mostly (minimal enamel removal)
ZOOM whitening	Surface staining, discolouration	1 (in-chair) or take-home	Varies (maintenance dependent)	Yes (no structural changes)
Dental crowns	Damaged, weakened, or heavily worn teeth	2	10 to 15+ years	No (tooth preparation required)
Porcelain inlays/onlays	Medium to large cavities, cracked cusps	2	10 to 15 years	No (tooth preparation required)
Invisalign	Crooked, crowded, or gapped teeth	Multiple (over 6 to 18 months)	Long-term with retainer use	Non-invasive (no tooth preparation)

The right option depends on your specific concern, budget, and how much time you have. During your consultation at Odin House Dental, Dr Yap discusses these factors so you can make a decision that suits your situation.

Dental Crowns and Bridges

A dental crown covers and protects a damaged tooth, restoring its shape, strength, and appearance. A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to the teeth on either side of the gap.

A crown may be suitable if you have:

A cracked or broken tooth that needs protection
A tooth weakened by a large filling or root canal treatment
A tooth that is severely worn down
A tooth that needs cosmetic improvement in shape or colour

Crowns and bridges at Odin House Dental are fabricated from porcelain and colour-matched to your surrounding teeth. The process typically involves two appointments: one for preparation and impressions, and one for fitting the final restoration.

Invisalign Clear Aligners

For patients whose cosmetic concern is crooked, crowded, or gapped teeth, Invisalign uses a series of custom-made clear aligners to gradually reposition your teeth. The aligners are removable and much less visible than traditional braces.

Invisalign may be suitable if you have:

Crooked or crowded teeth
Gaps between teeth
Mild to moderate bite issues
Teeth that have shifted after previous orthodontic treatment

In some cases, straightening teeth first with Invisalign allows for a more conservative approach to veneers or other cosmetic work. Dr Yap can advise whether Invisalign should come before or after other cosmetic treatment during your consultation at Odin House Dental.

Cosmetic Dental Treatment Costs for Westminster Patients

Costs vary depending on the procedure, the number of teeth involved, and the complexity of your case. Here is a general guide to what you can expect in Australia:

Indicative cost ranges for cosmetic dental procedures
Treatment	Indicative Cost Range	What Affects the Price
Porcelain veneers	$1,200 to $2,500 per tooth	Number of teeth, complexity of preparation, material used
Composite bonding	$250 to $800 per tooth	Size and location of the repair, number of teeth
ZOOM teeth whitening	$350 to $800 (in-chair)	Take-home kits also available at lower cost
Dental crowns	$1,500 to $2,500 per crown	Location of tooth, material, whether a buildup is needed
Porcelain inlays/onlays	$1,000 to $2,000 per tooth	Size of the restoration, tooth location
Invisalign	$4,500 to $9,000	Complexity and duration of treatment
Smile makeover	Varies widely	Depends on the combination of treatments included in your plan

These are indicative ranges. A detailed written quote covering all stages and costs is provided at your consultation before you commit to proceeding.

Itemised quote upfront: A written breakdown of every stage is provided at consultation, with no hidden costs.
Preferred provider rates: Odin House Dental Surgery is a preferred provider for Bupa, Medibank, HBF, HIF, NIB, and CBHS. That means lower out-of-pocket costs for many cosmetic procedures compared to non-network clinics. We can check your fund on the spot during your consultation so you know exactly what is covered.
Flexible payment plans: Treatment costs can be spread over time to make the investment more manageable.
Staged treatment: Where clinically appropriate, treatment can be staged over multiple visits or across financial years to manage costs and make better use of your annual insurance limits.

Cosmetic Dental Treatment Risks

The key risks for common cosmetic dental treatments include:

Veneers: Placement involves irreversible removal of tooth enamel. Once veneers are placed, those teeth will always need some form of restoration. Veneers can chip, crack, or debond, and will need replacement eventually.
Whitening: Temporary tooth sensitivity during or after treatment is common. Results vary depending on the type and severity of staining. Whitening does not change the colour of existing crowns, veneers, or fillings.
Composite bonding: Bonding material can chip, stain, or wear down faster than natural enamel. Repairs or replacement are needed over time.
Crowns: Tooth preparation is irreversible. There is a small risk of nerve irritation, sensitivity, or the need for root canal treatment if the nerve is affected during preparation.
Invisalign: Treatment requires wearing aligners for approximately 22 hours per day. Non-compliance affects results. Root resorption (shortening of tooth roots) is a possible risk with any orthodontic treatment.

Dr Yap discusses these risks and any considerations specific to your situation during your consultation at Odin House Dental. Not all patients are suitable candidates for every procedure, and you are encouraged to ask questions and take the time you need.

Outcomes vary between individuals and depend on factors including oral health, the specific procedure, and adherence to aftercare instructions.

Tooth-Coloured Fillings, Inlays, and Onlays

Tooth-Coloured Fillings

Modern composite fillings are matched to the shade of your natural teeth, making them far less visible than the dark amalgam (silver) fillings many people still have. If you have old amalgam fillings that you would like replaced, tooth-coloured composite is the standard material used for new fillings at Odin House Dental.

Porcelain Inlays and Onlays

When a tooth has too much damage for a standard filling but does not need a full crown, an inlay or onlay is the middle ground. An inlay sits within the biting surface of the tooth, while an onlay extends over one or more of the cusps (the raised points on the tooth). They are stronger and longer-lasting than composite fillings for larger restorations, and they blend in with your natural tooth colour.

Smile Makeovers

For patients who want to address multiple concerns at once, a smile makeover combines several cosmetic procedures into one coordinated treatment plan. Rather than treating each issue separately, Dr Johannes Yap plans the overall result before any treatment begins.

A smile makeover is not a single procedure. It is a plan built around your individual concerns, budget, and timeline. This may involve a combination of veneers, whitening, bonding, crowns, or Invisalign, depending on what is needed. Some patients address everything at once; others prefer to stage treatment over several months.
