FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
Cosmetic dentistry includes treatments designed to change aspects of your smile such as tooth colour, shape, proportions or visible surface appearance. At Varsity Smiles, options may include professional teeth whitening, veneers and other cosmetic treatments depending on your goals and oral health.The best starting point is a consultation so we can understand what you would like to change and explain which options may be appropriate.
You do not need to know before you book. Two people with similar concerns may have very different treatment options depending on their teeth, gums, bite and desired outcome.During your consultation, we can assess your smile, discuss what is bothering you and explain the advantages, limitations and costs of the relevant options.
Yes, cosmetic treatment can be planned around a subtle and natural-looking result rather than dramatically changing your smile.Factors such as tooth colour, shape, proportions and the appearance of neighbouring teeth are considered when discussing treatment. Your preferences are an important part of the planning process, and we encourage you to explain the type of result you are hoping for.
This depends on the treatment. Professional whitening is non-invasive, although some people experience temporary tooth sensitivity. Treatments such as veneers involve more dental work and your dentist will explain what is involved before proceeding.If you are nervous about treatment or have sensitive teeth, let us know during your consultation so this can be considered when discussing your options.
There is no single lifespan for cosmetic dental treatment.Whitening results can gradually fade over time, particularly with frequent coffee, tea, red wine or smoking. Restorations such as veneers also require ongoing care and may eventually need maintenance or replacement.Your dentist can explain the expected maintenance of any treatment you are considering before you decide to proceed.
Not all discolouration responds to whitening in the same way.Professional teeth whitening can be effective for many types of staining, but the cause of the discolouration, existing fillings or crowns and the condition of the tooth can affect the result. If whitening is unlikely to address your particular concern, we can discuss other suitable options.
No. Whitening products lighten natural tooth structure but do not change the colour of existing fillings, crowns or veneers.If you have visible restorations, this is worth considering before whitening because they may no longer match the surrounding teeth afterwards. Your dentist can help plan the order of treatment where this is relevant.
Book a cosmetic consultation.You can tell us what you like about your smile, what you would like to change and whether you already have a particular treatment in mind. We can then assess your teeth, explain the relevant options and help you understand the treatment, costs and maintenance involved before you make a decision.
