Overview

About cosmetic dentistry

People consider cosmetic treatment for many reasons, such as discolouration, chipped or worn teeth, gaps, or uneven tooth shape. Some concerns can be addressed with simple, conservative treatments; others may need a more involved plan.

Options that may be discussed include professional whitening, tooth-coloured bonding, veneers or crowns, and orthodontic alignment. Not every option is suitable for every patient, and your dentist will explain the benefits, limitations and maintenance involved in each.

Healthy teeth and gums come first. If any underlying dental issues are found, these are usually addressed before cosmetic treatment begins.
