What may be included?
Depending on the assessment, the plan may involve professional cleaning, whitening, composite bonding, orthodontic alignment, gum treatment, veneers, crowns or replacement of missing teeth. A requested appearance does not mean every listed procedure is necessary or appropriate.
Planning your smile
The dentist first checks oral health and identifies functional or disease-related needs. Aesthetic preferences, tooth display, bite and material choices are then discussed. Digital previews or mock-ups can support communication but do not guarantee an identical final result.
Risks and alternatives
Risks depend on the selected procedures and may include sensitivity, gum irritation, removal of tooth tissue, fracture, wear, colour mismatch and the need for future repair or replacement. Alternatives may include monitoring, whitening, bonding or orthodontics instead of more invasive restorations.
Aftercare
Maintenance depends on the treatments used. Daily oral hygiene, protective measures where indicated and regular dental checks help monitor the teeth, gums, bite and restorations. Whitening and restorative materials can age differently and may need separate maintenance.
