A consultation turns a vague wish into a clear set of options.
Many people know they would like their smile to look different but are unsure what is possible. A cosmetic consultation is a chance to describe what bothers you, whether colour, shape, gaps or alignment, and hear which treatments might help. It is a planning conversation, not a commitment, and you can take time to decide.
Peacock Point residents and seasonal visitors can book a cosmetic consultation at our Port Dover office. Bring your questions and any photos that show the look you are aiming for, and the dentist can explain what appears achievable for your teeth.
Your goals
Start by being specific about what you notice.
Describe what you would like to change
Point out the teeth or features that concern you in the mirror. Perhaps one tooth is darker, the edges are uneven, there is a gap or the smile looks narrow. Photos of smiles you like can help, though they serve as a guide rather than a blueprint. Being specific allows the dentist to focus the discussion on realistic approaches.
Share what matters most
Consider your priorities, such as how natural the result should look, how much tooth structure you are willing to alter, the number of visits you can manage and how long you want the result to last. If you have a deadline such as a family celebration, mention it, since timing can affect which treatments are practical.
Assessment
Healthy foundations come before cosmetic changes.
Check oral health first
The dentist examines your teeth and gums for decay, gum disease, wear and bite issues. These need to be addressed before or alongside cosmetic work, because problems underneath can affect the result and its longevity. The dentist will explain if any concerns should be treated first and how that may change the timeline.
Record the starting point
Photos, X-rays or digital scans may be taken to document your current smile. These records help with planning and allow you to compare options visually. Ask how they will be used and whether a preview or mock-up is possible for the treatments being considered, so you can picture the outcome before deciding.
Options
Compare the choices side by side.
Understand each suggested approach
Depending on your goals, the dentist may discuss whitening, bonding, reshaping, veneers, crowns, clear aligners or replacing missing teeth. Ask how each would address your concern, how many visits it involves and whether it is reversible. Some options are conservative, while others require removing tooth structure that cannot be restored later.
Ask about maintenance and limits
Every cosmetic treatment has limitations and upkeep. Whitening does not change the colour of fillings or crowns. Bonding can chip or stain. Veneers may eventually need replacement. Ask about these realities so expectations are clear. A thoughtful consultation should leave you understanding both the benefits and the commitments of each approach.
Deciding
Make your decision without pressure.
Take time to consider
There is no need to choose on the spot. Take home any information provided and think about your options. Write down further questions as they come up. If you are comparing advice from another dentist, a second consultation can help you weigh both perspectives before choosing a direction that suits you.
Plan the sequence of care
If you decide to proceed, the dentist will outline the order of treatment, which may begin with cleanings or repairs before cosmetic work. Confirm the schedule, especially if you are only at Peacock Point for part of the year, so appointments can be planned without leaving treatment half-finished between seasons.

Cosmetic consultation questions
Have a question about your situation? Our team can help you plan a visit.
Do I have to commit to treatment at the consultation?
No. The consultation is for discussion and assessment. You can take time to consider the options, ask follow-up questions and decide whether and when to proceed. There is no expectation to book treatment on the same day.
Will I see what my new smile could look like?
Depending on the treatment, photos, digital planning or a trial mock-up may be possible. Ask the dentist what preview methods are available for the options being discussed. Remember that previews are guides, not guarantees.
What if I have cavities or gum problems?
Those usually need to be addressed before cosmetic work. Healthy teeth and gums help results last. The dentist will explain which issues should be treated first and how they affect the timing of cosmetic care.
Can I combine different treatments?
Yes, many smiles benefit from a combination, such as whitening followed by bonding. The dentist can discuss the best order, since some treatments affect how others are matched or applied.
How should I prepare for the consultation?
Think about what you would like to change and why. Bring photos, your medical history and any records of previous dental work. Write down your questions so you leave with the information you need.
