Hi, I'm Dr. Matt, Principal Dentist at Accent Dentists, and Founding Member of the NZ Cosmetic Academy of Dentistry. Yes, we offer our patients a range of restorative, general and cosmetic dentistry solutions, either for general restorative dental care, or for a cosmetically improved smile that some of our patients want - from crowns (including 1 day crowns), porcelain veneers, dental implants, ACC work, to smile makeovers and much more. Check out some of our recent case studies below. You can also check out our over 280+ Google Reviews from delighted clients.
"Every new patient I see will sit down with me for a one-hour appointment, so I can get to know them, and what's important to them, and they can get to know me. I won't tell you what to do - I'll give you options, and you choose what's best for you."
Restorative, General & Cosmetic Dentistry
Sharla - Gumline & Veneers
It was a real pleasure to work on Sharla's teeth, my Practice Manager at the time, she was absolutely delighted with her new veneers. Sharla also had gum recontouring done to give her the perfect smile she wanted, and you can see how happy she looks.
Ed - Gaps In Teeth & Lengthening Teeth
Ed had a family member tell him he should do something about his teeth and then he decided this might be a good idea to look into. Upon reflection he didn’t like how short, grey and ‘gappy’ they were. We talked him through some options and then settled on a staged approach for him. We first did some soft tissue recontouring, then whitening and then some zirconia crowns (which are strong enough to resist the wear forces which had resulted from his grinding).
The beauty of this staged approach is that at each stage things improved significantly and he was able to really consider how much he wanted to continue to improve things before committing to that next step. We are absolutely delighted with Ed's end result and couldn’t be more thrilled for him.
Shalom - Changing Shape, Fixing Gumline
Shalom initially came to see us because she didn’t like the shape and wear on her two front teeth. On close examination, we also found that she had quite dark short teeth with a large amount of gum showing when she smiled. After discussing her options together we elected to first reposition the height of her gum line with our soft tissue laser which is a surprisingly easy and painless procedure. This meant she showed more tooth when she smiled and much less gum. Then we whitened things which worked really well too. Finally, we veneered her two front teeth replacing the old stained fillings with ceramics and which allowed us to rebuild the teeth to their original overall length and straighten them up. Shalom also had soft tissue gum reconcontouring.
Jo - Replacing Old Composites, New Veneers
Jo had some composite work done on her front teeth many years ago, but while still unhappy with them, had also been advised not to do any work on them or they would shatter. She was also missing some lateral teeth.
Concerned with her options, she still wanted a natural look, and without uising implants or orthodontics. Jo was delighted with her new dental veneers, and you can see why! She's a great example of someone who has had previous dental work and who wanted her old dental veneers replaced for an improved aesthetic (without uising implants or orthodontics).
"Matt and Karen are simply amazing! I did a Google search for Dentists specializing in veneers close to me and came across some really wonderful reviews for Accent Dentists. I was nervous about replacing veneers which were well over 20yrs old. Matt was so patient and kind, walking me through each and every step of the process, proving a personal touch that really made a difference. The end-to-end process and experience, including temp veneers, was super easy and painless. I love my new smile. I’m no longer as nervous about going to the Dentist (including hygiene appointments!) thanks to this wonderful team who demonstrated every step of the way that they genuinely care, including Lucy on Reception. Thank you Accent Dentists for making me smile again." - Jo.
Joy - Smile Makeover
"Matt has my highest recommendation if you are thinking of cosmetic dentistry. His craftsmanship is outstanding, and his care, kindness, support and warmth. I no longer feel afraid. Thank you Matt." - Joy S.
Joy had a combination of dental veneers and crowns. Find out more about Joy's journey here.
Andrea - Fixing Broken Teeth
Andrea didn't like her chipped teeth resulting from an accident. We whitened them & made two natural-looking dental crowns.
"I've lived with chipped, cracked, capped, crooked, discoloured front teeth for 30 years. I never imagined myself with a straight, white, toothy smile. When my temporary caps fell off I never expected such an amazing 'fix'. I couldn't be happier with the result and couldn't recommend Dr. Matt and the team more highly." - Andrea
Tina - Closing Front Teeth Gap
"I used to have a genuine fear of dentists but not anymore! Matt, Paris and Lucy are the best...incredibly professional and made me feel at ease straight away. I will be forever grateful to them for my new smile." - Tina C In this case, rather than dental veneers, the preferred option Tina chose to close her front teeth gap were bonded composite new front teeth.
Ross - Ground Down Front Teeth
"Dr. Matt is the best dentist ever!!! For over a decade he has taken exceptional care of my teeth. I have complete confidence in his expertise...He is especially talented in state-of-the-art cosmetic techniques." - Ross N.
Ross had been seeing us in the practice for around ten years before he finally chipped enough of his front teeth to be motivated to do something about it. I had been aware that I could do something cosmetic for him throughout that time but it hadn't been a priority for Ross so it wasn't my place to tell him to do anything about it. When he decided to address it we recontoured his gum with our laser to give him more tooth length before placing two all ceramic crowns on his central front teeth and two ceramic veneers on his laterals. We were delighted with the result and Ross's wife Julie even rang me later to thank me and say that she wished he had done it years ago.
Fatima - Dental Veneers & Crowns
"Their service is absolutely amazing.They provide the best treatment (also painless) and show a great understanding of a client's needs. Matt is very personable and highly professional." - Fatima W
Fatima had a combination of dental veneers and crowns.
Geoff - Fixing Crooked Front Teeth
"Matt and his team have produced the discreet result I was after...worked seamlessly together and their communication is faultless - I have no hesitation in recommending Matt and the team at Accent" - Geoff L.
Geoff had new dental veeners on his front teeth only.
Solomon - Fixing Teeth Gap & Chipped Tooth
“Dr. Matt was very genuine; he didn’t force but understood what I wanted and needed...he is a specialist in cosmetic dental! I recommend that you go to Accent…5 stars from me.” - Solomon. Solomon had new dental veneers on his front teeth.
Sonia - Full Mouth Restoration
Sonia was unhappy with the look of her front teeth, especially with how chipped and worn they were. She also didn't like the colour. Underlying the cosmetic look of her teeth was an underlying problem caused by loss of support and height in her back teeth. This placed excessive force on her front teeth which are simply not designed to carry these sort of loads, with consequent wear and significant chipping. Sonia received a full mouth of crowns, and six veneers on her bottom front teeth.
"Thank you Matt and the team for giving me back my smile and the ability to speak with confidence once again."
Patient Root Filled Tooth Gave Way - 1 Implant Needed
This patient had a root filled tooth that had worked successfully for a number of years. Sadly one day it finally gave way and fractured vertically up through the root of the tooth which is an unsalvageable situation, so the tooth needed to come out.
The implant was placed and finally restored and it looks and feels fantastic. You can see our patient loves it, and we're stoked with the result!
Patient Tooth Damaged by Accident - Single Implant (ACC Case)
This patient came and saw us having already seen another dentist about a solution for her damaged front tooth that had come about as a result of an accident. Having been recommended a dental bridge as an initial solution, she wanted a second opinion. We recommended a dental implant for her over the bridge for two reasons. Firstly, if she had gone with the bridge option, she would have lost tooth supported bone at the top of her mouth, and that would give her a visual appearance of a gap/concavity on her gum line (which would show up when she smiled). This was clearly not a preferred aesthetic option. Secondly, choosing a dental bridge would in her case have resulted in some unnecessary trauma to her adjacent teeth.
We agreed on a plan to replace her front tooth using a dental implant solution, and wrote a detailed plan to ACC to get prior approval for the work, which resulted in ACC making a significant contribution to the cost of her implant. In most cases ACC will fund a large part of the cost of an implant.
The results speak for themselves!
Please note we are ACC registered and have been since Matt first took over the practice some 20 years ago. ACC may be able to help towards your treatment costs if you have a dental injury caused by an accident, a sporting injury, or as a result of dental treatment.
Patient Tooth Knocked Out
Our patient knocked their front tooth loose and it was never able to settle or firm back in place. After repeated attempts to stablilise, we elected to go with the most permanent solution, one implant (an implant supported crown), and we're all delighted with the result!
Penny
A simple, elegant and cost-effective solution for Penny was one crown and small cantilever bridge. “Getting my teeth done has been like a dream come true for me. I am extremely happy. The final result is amazing!" - Penny
Julie
Julie wanted to fill in two gaps that she had been born with. She was fed up with a loose and tired denture that she hated because it moved, and got food stuck under it all the time. Once her 2 dental implants were placed where she was missing her two teeth, what was a relatively simple case transformed her appearance, confidence and got rid of the hated denture.
Sonia
Sonia was unhappy with the look of her front teeth, especially with how chipped and worn they were. She also didn't like the colour. Underlying the cosmetic look of her teeth was an underlying problem caused by loss of support and height in her back teeth. This placed excessive force on her front teeth which are simply not designed to carry these sort of loads, with consequent wear and significant chipping.

Jo
We needed to open Jo’s bite to strengthen and prevent her from breaking any more of her back teeth, which up until then had been a significant problem. Opening her bite allowed us to create space in which we could do the cosmetic work she desired at the front of her mouth. Jo wanted a very natural aesthetic. Overall we gave her a full mouth reconstruction, including 13 dental crowns, 12 porcelain teeth veneers and 1 bridge. Minor laser was used to improve gum symmetry. Because of the signifant amount of dental work required, we worked collaboratively to plan a staged approach incorporating long-term temporaries. This ensured Jo was comfortable with the new bite height of her back teeth throughout the process.
Jo wanted a very natural aesthetic. We gave her a full mouth reconstruction and minor laser was also used. "I have only praise for Dr. Matt and his team. They worked miracles…” - Jo

Freya - Replacing Teeth Caps
Freya was encouraged to get her front teeth veneered by another dentist and she decided to check us out to do them instead. The large existing plastic filling teeth caps on her teeth had discolored with time, as they are prone to do, and that discoloration was what bothered Freya enough to want to do something about them. We discussed changing them over to veneers to achieve a longer lasting solution and the veneers also had the added advantage of being able to subtly straighten things and make the teeth less prominent in Freyas smile. This case went extremely well as you can see and everyone was delighted with the result, so much so that Freya has now encouraged her partner to come and see us too! - "I am absolutely delighted with the veneers on my two front teeth...Matt's calm presence, clear communication and his ability to be incredibly gentle resulting in a completely pain free procedure made me feel completely at ease." - Freya T
Diane - Smile Makeover & Whitening
“I can’t recommend Matt & his team highly enough. They are very warm and welcoming and very professional. Matt talked me through the process of the work being done and I couldn’t be happier with the result.”
Diane had 6 veeners completed after she did take home whitening.
Peter - New Natural Aesthetic
Peter had previous dental veners, but was unhappy with the aesthetic. We took a lot of time and care crafting temporary veneers the exact shape and size he liked before committing to the final permanent ones so as to meet Peter's natural aesthetic. Peter is a very good example of replacing veneers, where the look and feel is subtle but matching their exact desired aesthetic. He's also a good example of where we worked fastidiously with him in crafting termporaries prior to the final result, to ensure he got exactly what he wanted. We're pleased to say he's delighted with the result!
Leon - Chipped Front Teeth
Leon came to us because he was repeatedly chipping his front teeth and didn’t like the look of them. Initially we decided together to rebuild his teeth in composite filling material, but this wasn't strong enoughto stand up to the forces Leon was putting them through. So we changed direction and restored them with new zirconia crowns. He hasn’t looked back! Leon's testimonial is available on video.
Caroline - Lengthening Teeth, New Smile
Caroline wanted a natural look. We have recreated her beautiful new smile using a combination of dental veneers and crowns. You can see how delighted she is with her new smile.
Peter - Fixing Chipped Front Teeth
Peter had damaged and chipped his front teeth, the result of ongoing wear and tear, and a previous accident. We were able to give him the natural look and feel he wanted using a combination of veneers and crowns. The tricky technical part of this was that Peter had a previous metal post in one of his front teeth, due to a previously root filled tooth which we had to work around. This had caused a "grey" colour (caused from the previous metal post) to affect the appearance of his front tooth that we needed to mitigate as part of his cosmetic solution.
Jo - Full Smile Restoration Makeover
Jo wanted a very natural aesthetic. We gave her a full mouth reconstruction including 12 veneers and 13 dental crowns, and minor laser was also used. "I have only praise for Dr. Matt and his team. They worked miracles…”
Nina - Smile Aesthetic Minor Changes
Nina had a beautiful smile, and wanted to touch up a couple of minor imperfections. Her solution involved contouring the edges of 3 teeth, along with 1 new veneer on her front, and one dental crown at the front also. We're pleased she's delighted with her results!

This placed excessive force on her front teeth which are simply not designed to carry these sort of loads, with consequent wear and significant chipping.
