Caring for Turkey Point patients at our Port Dover office
See every dental service for Turkey PointTalk before you choose
A good consultation turns a vague wish into a clear set of choices.
You might be bothered by colour, a chipped edge, uneven teeth or an old filling that shows when you laugh. A cosmetic consultation is a chance to describe what you would like to change and hear which approaches might achieve it, along with the commitment, maintenance and limits that come with each one.
Turkey Point residents and seasonal visitors can book a consultation at our Port Dover office. There is no obligation to proceed with treatment, and the conversation can include timing around your plans for the year.
Explaining your goals
The clearer your goals, the more useful the discussion.
Describing what bothers you
Think about what you notice when you look in the mirror or at photos. Is it the shade, the shape of particular teeth, spacing or the way your gums show when you smile? Try to describe specific concerns rather than a general sense of wanting a better smile. That helps the dentist focus on options that address what matters to you.
Bringing examples and photos
Pictures of smiles you like can be helpful, as can older photos of your own teeth if something has changed. Keep in mind that every mouth is different and results depend on your teeth, gums and bite. The dentist will explain what is realistic for you and where expectations may need adjusting.
Assessment
Healthy foundations come before any cosmetic change.
Checking health before cosmetics
The dentist checks for decay, gum disease and other problems that should be treated first. Cosmetic work placed on unhealthy teeth or gums may not last and can hide issues. If you have not had a recent checkup, the consultation may include or recommend one so that planning starts from an accurate picture.
Evaluating bite and existing work
Your bite, any grinding habit and the condition of existing crowns or fillings all influence which cosmetic options make sense. For example, whitening does not change the colour of restorations, and veneers need a stable bite. Photos or scans may be taken to document your current smile and support the discussion.
Comparing options
Each option comes with its own trade-offs.
Conservative and more involved approaches
Depending on your concerns, options might include whitening, bonding, reshaping, aligners, veneers or replacing old restorations. Some are conservative and reversible, while others involve removing tooth structure. The dentist will explain how each works, how long it might last and what it means for your teeth in the long run.
Maintenance, cost and timing
Ask about upkeep, the number of visits involved and how treatment might be staged. If you spend only part of the year near Turkey Point, consider how appointments will fit around time away. Request a written estimate for any plan you are considering so you can review it without pressure.
Making a decision
There is no rush to commit after a consultation.
Taking time to think
It is reasonable to go home, think about what you heard and come back with more questions. Some people want a second opinion, which is perfectly fine. Write down anything that was unclear, such as how a material might wear or what happens if you change your mind later, and ask before booking treatment.
Starting when you are ready
When you decide to proceed, the dentist will outline the sequence of appointments and any preparation. If there is an event you want to be ready for, share the date early. Some treatments need more lead time than expected, especially if health concerns must be addressed first.

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. A consultation is for information and discussion. You can take time to think, ask more questions or seek another opinion before deciding on anything.
Will I find out how much treatment costs?
Ask for an estimate for any option you are seriously considering. Costs vary by treatment and your individual needs, so a written estimate helps you compare choices clearly.
Can I combine several cosmetic treatments?
Sometimes, and a sequence can matter. For example, whitening is often done before matching new restorations. The dentist can explain an order that makes sense for your goals.
What if I have gum disease or cavities?
Those are usually treated first. Healthy teeth and gums give cosmetic work a better foundation and help results last longer.
Is cosmetic dentistry only about appearance?
Not always. Some options also repair damage, improve function or replace worn restorations. The dentist will explain any health benefits alongside appearance changes.
