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.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Are electric toothbrushes better than manual toothbrushes?

    There is no actual evidence to support the debate that one is better than the other. Both types of toothbrushes are effective at cleaning teeth if you are brushing with the correct technique and for the proper duration. An electric toothbrush can make brushing easier and may help if you tend to brush your teeth too hard.

  • How can I transform my smile?

    We provide a wide range of cosmetic and restorative dentistry treatments that can help transform your smile. These treatments include porcelain crowns, veneers, dental implants, and teeth whitening. We recommend patients schedule in for a dental consultation where we can find suitable treatments for you.

  • What treatments can I choose from for a smile makeover?

    There are several different cosmetic dentistry procedures to discuss with your dentist and choose from for your smile makeover, such as:


    • Teeth whitening 
    • Dental crowns 
    • Dental bridges 
    • Porcelain veneers 
    • Orthodontic treatments such as braces, Invisalign, palatal 
    • Dental implants 
    • Fillings 

  • How long will all the dental work last me?

    The dental work done during a smile makeover has no set expiry date. Each of the different procedures are designed to last a specific amount of time so, for example, you may have to go for teeth whitening after 9 months or replace your veneers after 4 or 5 years. The cosmetic procedures done during your smile makeover can last you a long time provided you maintain your oral hygiene.
