Cosmetic dentistry — The wider set of appearance-focused options.
Dental veneers — Often part of a designed smile for front teeth.
Teeth whitening — Usually before shade-matching restorations.
Simple steps may take one visit. Combined veneers, implants or orthodontics can take weeks to months. Your dentist will outline a personal sequence.

Your treatment journey
-
You describe what is bothering you and share medical and dental history. Questions come before any treatment is planned.
-
Photographs, and often models or scans, record tooth length, colour and gum display.
-
Findings are explained in plain language. Imaging is used when the extra detail is likely to change the plan.
-
Options, likely visits, aftercare and alternatives are discussed so you can decide.
-
A trial smile may be used before irreversible drilling. Decay is treated first.
-
Definitive whitening, bonding, veneers, crowns or alignment follow the agreed sequence.
What happens during the procedure?
Records
Photographs, models or scans and a discussion of goals come first.
Preview
Mock-ups may be used so you can see proposed changes before irreversible work.
Sequence
Decay and gums are treated first. Whitening, veneers or alignment follow if agreed.
Review
Shape and bite are checked. Outcomes still depend on starting teeth and gums.
Potential advantages and things to consider
Potential advantages
Shared visual plan
You see a proposed direction before committing to laboratory porcelain when a mock-up is used.
Health is not skipped
Cosmetic sequencing still starts with disease control.
Things to consider
A trial is information, not a promise
Laboratory ceramics can differ slightly from a mock-up.
Orthodontics may be kinder
Some crowding is better aligned than covered.
Bite decides survival
Edges that look long in photos may break in an edge-to-edge bite.
What happens after treatment?
Follow the instructions provided by your dentist.
Immediately after
Care for temporaries as instructed.
First few days
Note speech and lip rest position while you try a mock-up.
Ongoing care
Night guards if you grind. Hygiene around new edges.
Follow-up
Photographs document the agreed endpoint.

- A temporary restoration that comes off
- Bleeding that does not settle as advised
What can affect treatment cost?
