Choosing the Right Cosmetic Treatment
The best treatment depends on what you would like to change. Whitening is a good fit if your teeth are healthy but stained or dull. Bonding is a quick way to fix a small chip or gap. Veneers can address several concerns at once, such as shape, colour and spacing. Gum contouring can help if your smile looks gummy or the gum line is uneven. Many patients combine treatments, and your dentist will help you plan the order that works best.

- Adults with stained, discoloured or dull teeth.
- Patients with chipped, uneven or slightly gapped teeth.

Healthy Teeth First

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most affordable cosmetic dental treatment?
Dental bonding is generally the most affordable cosmetic option for small chips and gaps, and professional whitening is another cost-effective way to brighten your smile. Your dentist can compare costs for your situation.
Is cosmetic dentistry covered by insurance?
Cosmetic treatments are often not covered, though some plans cover part of a procedure when it also has a restorative purpose. We can give you a written estimate and check what your plan may cover.
How do I know which cosmetic treatment is right for me?
Book a consultation. Your dentist will review your teeth and your goals and explain which options suit you, including how long each is expected to last.
Can I combine cosmetic treatments?
Yes. For example, many patients whiten their teeth before bonding or veneers so the colour can be matched. Your dentist will recommend the best order.
Are cosmetic treatments safe for my teeth?
When done by a dentist and suited to your teeth, these treatments are considered safe. Your dentist will check your oral health first and explain any risks, such as temporary sensitivity.
Do you offer free teeth whitening?
A free whitening kit is currently available with adult check-ups and cleanings. Ask our front desk for the details of the offer.
