DENTO-FACIAL AESTHETICS NEWCASTLE
Facial rejuvenation and cosmetic dentistry meet one another
DENTISTRY THEN AND NOW
At Honeysuckle Dental in Newcastle, Dr Nixon is a member of AADFA (Australasian Academy of Dento-Facial Aesthetics). The AADFA was founded in 2009, and its goal is to advance the art and science of aesthetic and facial rejuvenation dentistry to benefit both the dental practitioner and patient.
Dentistry used to be only about getting your teeth fixed, as fillings, crowns, root canal therapy, dentures and braces are what dentists were mostly known for. Then cosmetic dentistry came along, and introduced teeth whitening and veneers into the mix of popular dental treatments to improve the appearance of smiles, with veneers offering a way to conceal chips and cracks as well as stained teeth.
In modern times, dental implants have also become a great alternative to replacing teeth that provide the support that traditional dental bridges and dentures didn’t. The world of dentistry continued to expand, each decade bringing with it something that improved the patient experience and helped keep teeth healthy for longer.
Dento-facial aesthetics and the future of smile makeovers
Cosmetic dentistry also reached a point where the results can be long-lasting, provided you take care of your oral health. Smile makeovers became the treatment to get when you wanted to completely restore the appearance and function of your teeth.
However for most dentists who offer smile makeovers, they can only improve the aesthetics of your teeth. Which, when you think about it, isn’t your whole smile.
- Enhance the appearance of your mouth & face by correcting irregularities
- Relax certain muscles in your face that cause wrinkles in order to achieve a rejuvenated appearance & enhance your natural look
- Correct a smile that is sufficiently gummy through the use of laser dentistry

Look Younger & Refreshed
Whether you’re looking to revitalise your lips, soften wrinkles or treat a gummy smile, the team at Honeysuckle Dental can help you by providing aesthetic treatments such as wrinkle treatments and lip enhancement treatments:
- Wrinkle treatments at Honeysuckle Dental
As we get older and the bone in our faces starts to atrophy, our skin starts to sag. This causes deep lines, grooves and folds to form, especially around the mouth. The appearance of wrinkles can dramatically age your smile and your overall appearance.
By using a combination of dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle injections, we can rejuvenate the appearance of your face and enhance your smile. Results from wrinkle treatments usually appear 3 to 5 days after treatment and can last as long as 4 months. Anti-wrinkle injections have been used over for 20 years and are considered a safe and effective cosmetic treatment.

Anti-wrinkle injections
Wrinkles caused by overactive muscles form on the top of your face, typically from your hairline to below your eyes. With an injectable muscle relaxant, these lines and wrinkles can be treated.
Dermal fillers
Wrinkles and fine lines caused by loss of collagen are mostly found on the bottom of your face—from below your eyes to beneath your chin. Dermal fillers plump areas of the face which have lost natural collagen deposits.
Lip enhancement/fillers
Our lips, which are one of the more prominent aesthetic features of our face, begin to lose volume and become less defined as we age. Dermal fillers are a great non-surgical option for changing the shape, size and volume of your lips.
Benefits of dermal fillers
Dermal fillers can help to create a refreshed and rejuvenated frame for your smile by adding volume to your lips. Dermal fillers can be used to:
- Refine your chin & nose.
- Reshape & lift lips.
- Lift brows & smooth wrinkles.
Why go to a dentist for lip fillers and not a cosmetic clinic?
To achieve the best aesthetics results for your smile, the team at Honeysuckle Dental look at your whole smile—not just your teeth. Being trained in dento-facial aesthetics Dr Nixon is equipped to understand the relation between your teeth, gums, jaws and lips, and how they affect the overall complete aesthetics of your smile.
