Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry covers treatments that change the appearance of your teeth. It starts with a conversation about what you would like, what is realistic and whether any option is suitable for you.
What this treatment covers
Cosmetic treatments may include options such as tooth-coloured bonding, veneers, whitening or reshaping. Not every option suits every mouth, and your dentist will be open about what they think is appropriate.
Before discussing appearance, your dentist will usually check that your teeth and gums are healthy, because underlying problems are generally addressed first.
A cosmetic consultation is a chance to explore options without any obligation. You can take time to think, ask for written information and come back with questions.
What you may discuss with your dentist
- What you would like to change, and why it matters to you
- Which options may be suitable, and which may not
- How long results may typically last and what upkeep could involve
- Possible risks, limitations and alternatives — including doing nothing
- Costs, timescales and how many visits might be needed

Cosmetic Dentistry: common questions
No. The consultation is for understanding your options. You can take as much time as you need to decide.
That depends on your teeth, gums and goals. Your dentist will explain what may be realistic and what may not be suitable.
Your dentist can explain each step and what upkeep might involve, so you can decide with a clear picture.
