White Fillings
Repair cavities and small areas of damage with tooth-coloured material.
- Whitening before bonding or veneers: what comes first?
Considering whitening, bonding, or veneers? Whitening usually comes first when shade matching matters, but the right order depends on your exam. - Why Retainer Follow-Up Matters After Invisalign
After Invisalign, retainer follow-up helps catch fit problems, wear, or early shifting before a small issue becomes harder to fix. - When a Failed Crown or Large Filling Can Be Repaired or Replaced
Small crown or filling defects may sometimes be repaired. More extensive decay, fracture, leakage, or tooth loss often makes replacement more likely.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Cosmetic dentistry questions
Find answers about candidacy, timing, maintenance and how cosmetic options work with existing dental work.
Which cosmetic treatment might suit my smile?
That depends on what you would like to change, as well as your enamel, bite, gum health and existing dental work. An examination helps narrow the options.
Can cosmetic treatment also improve function?
Some restorative treatments can improve both appearance and function. Your dentist will explain what each option is designed to do and where its limits are.
How do I start planning a smile change?
Request a consultation and tell us what you would like to change. Photos or examples can help you describe the colour, shape or alignment you have in mind.
How long do cosmetic results last?
Longevity varies by treatment, bite, habits, oral hygiene and maintenance. Whitening may need touch-ups, while veneers, crowns and fillings eventually require monitoring or replacement.
Will fillings, crowns or implants change colour with whitening?
No. Whitening changes natural tooth structure, not the colour of existing restorations. Their shade and visibility should be considered before treatment begins.
Can several cosmetic treatments be combined?
Sometimes. A plan may sequence whitening, alignment and restorations so the final colour and proportions work together. The order depends on your oral health and goals.
Is tooth bonding an option for a small cosmetic change?
It may be. Bonding can repair selected chips, edges or spaces with tooth-coloured resin and is often more conservative than a laboratory-made restoration.
Do my teeth and gums need to be healthy before cosmetic care?
Active decay, gum inflammation and bite problems usually need to be assessed first so cosmetic treatment is planned on a stable foundation.
How can I maintain cosmetic results?
Maintenance may include careful home cleaning, regular examinations, stain control, retainers, a nightguard or occasional repair or touch-up depending on the treatment.
