Check teeth and gums first
Decay, gum conditions, sensitivity, and existing restorations are assessed before cosmetic care.
AESTHETIC & RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY
Whitening, veneers, and aesthetic restoration
Health and function come first. We then discuss colour, shape, smile goals, and the trade-offs between whitening, bonding, veneers, and other restorative options.
BALANCED PLANNING
Appearance, function, and tooth preservation
Discuss colour and shape
Facial features, tooth position, bite, and personal priorities help define realistic goals.
Compare intervention and maintenance
Options differ in tooth preparation, suitability, longevity, repair, and replacement requirements.
Whitening response varies by the cause of discoloration. Veneers and crowns are restorations and may involve tooth preparation. A specific shade or lifespan cannot be guaranteed online.
FAQ
Common questions
Can every type of discoloration be whitened?
No. Surface staining, internal discoloration, and existing fillings or crowns respond differently.
Can whitening cause sensitivity?
Temporary sensitivity can occur and varies by person and method. We assess risk and explain after-care.
Do veneers always require tooth reduction?
The need and amount depend on position, colour, shape, and bite. A “no-prep” promise is not appropriate before assessment.
