A beautiful smile looks different on everyone – and getting it right takes more than technical skill. It takes genuine care, experience and an eye for detail that goes well beyond the obvious.

At Macquarie Street Dental, every treatment is carefully planned around the individual. Using advanced technology, facial analysis and meticulous attention to detail, Dr Dunn takes the time to understand your goals and explore the treatment options that may be appropriate for you.
Whatever brings you to Macquarie Street Dental, our role is to help you navigate the options available to you.
With more than 25 years of experience, Dr David Dunn has a special interest in porcelain veneers and dental implant treatment. He was an early adopter of dental implants in Australia, receiving his initial training in Sweden at the Brånemark Centre, where the foundational research into dental implants was conducted.
He has since continued to attend training and international and local lectures to stay up to date in the field, exploring new materials, protocols and technology. Dr Dunn takes a personable and friendly approach, building a strong rapport with his patients. He has a particular interest in delivering personalised results that suit the individual.
Designed for patients missing most or all of their teeth, All-on-4 uses dental implants to support a full arch of fixed teeth. It may be an alternative to dentures and can provide a stable, long-term tooth replacement solution.

Dental implants are a commonly used option for replacing one or more missing teeth. They can be used to support individual crowns, bridges or dentures and are designed to look and function like a natural tooth.
Cosmetic dentistry can involve a range of treatments, including porcelain veneers, dental crowns, Invisalign® and teeth whitening. Recommendations are tailored to you based on your oral health, concerns and treatment goals.
Porcelain veneers are custom-made ceramic restorations used to address concerns such as tooth shape, size, colour and spacing. Each veneer is handcrafted and carefully planned around you.
We know that there’s a lot to think about when considering your teeth replacement options. That’s why we’ve created this comprehensive guide. Inside you’ll find:
Cosmetic dentistry can involve a single treatment, such as porcelain veneers or teeth whitening, or a combination of procedures tailored to your specific dental needs. Common concerns addressed include discolouration, worn enamel, chips, gaps and uneven tooth alignment.
Modern Sydney cosmetic dentistry combines aesthetics with function, helping patients explore treatment options that address both appearance and long-term oral health. Treatment risks, recovery and considerations can be found here.
General dentistry focuses on maintaining oral health through treatments such as check-ups, cleans, fillings and root canal therapy. Cosmetic dentistry focuses on the appearance of the teeth and smile, addressing concerns such as colour, shape, alignment and overall aesthetics. While the two disciplines have different focuses, they often work together as part of a broader treatment plan.
Finding the right Sydney cosmetic dentist starts with research. Look for a dentist with experience in cosmetic procedures who takes the time to understand your concerns and explain your options clearly. It can also be helpful to ask about their approach to treatment planning, the materials they use, and whether laboratory work is completed locally. Seeking a second opinion is always reasonable when considering significant treatment.
Macquarie Street Dental offers a range of cosmetic dental treatments, including porcelain veneers, dental crowns, Invisalign®, teeth whitening and more. Treatment recommendations are based on the individual's oral health, concerns and treatment objectives.

Before beginning any cosmetic treatment, Dr Dunn will conduct a comprehensive assessment of your oral health. This ensures that any underlying issues (such as decay or gum disease) are addressed first, often through general dentistry services like fillings or cleans. It's important to understand that some cosmetic treatments are irreversible, so careful planning is essential. In some cases, Dr Dunn may use Digital Smile Design technology as part of the treatment planning process to support discussion and decision-making – speak to the team or ask at your consultation for more information.
