A consultation helps match your goals with realistic options.
Cosmetic dentistry covers changes to colour, shape, alignment and the overall look of your smile. Because many options are elective and some are not reversible, it helps to understand what each one involves before committing. A consultation is a chance to explain what bothers you, see what is possible and learn about the maintenance each choice requires.
If you live in Wilsonville and have been thinking about improving your smile, you can book a cosmetic consultation at our Port Dover office. Come prepared to describe the changes you would like and any timing considerations, such as an upcoming event, so the dentist can discuss sensible options.
Your goals
Start by naming what you would like to change.
Describe what you notice
Think about what draws your attention when you smile in the mirror or photos. It might be discolouration, uneven edges, gaps, a chipped tooth or older fillings that look dark. Being specific helps the dentist focus on the concerns that matter to you rather than recommending changes you do not want.
Share photos and preferences
Some people bring pictures of smiles they like or older photos of their own teeth. These can help show preferences for shape and brightness. Mention whether you prefer subtle improvements or a more noticeable change, and whether you want to avoid treatments that remove tooth structure.
Health check
Cosmetic work needs a healthy foundation.
Ensuring teeth and gums are healthy
Before any cosmetic treatment, the dentist checks for decay, gum disease and other conditions that should be addressed first. Healthy gums frame the teeth and affect how results look. In some cases, treating an underlying problem changes the cosmetic plan or improves appearance on its own.
Considering bite and habits
Your bite and habits such as grinding, nail biting or chewing on pens can affect how long restorations last. The dentist may examine tooth wear and jaw function. Understanding these factors helps choose materials and treatments that are more likely to stay intact under the forces your teeth experience.
Comparing options
Options range from minimal to more involved.
Conservative approaches
Whitening, polishing, minor reshaping and composite bonding are often the least invasive ways to improve appearance. They may be suitable for mild discolouration, small chips or slight unevenness. Your dentist will explain how long results may last and what upkeep is involved, such as touch-ups over time.
More extensive treatments
Veneers, crowns, orthodontic treatment or implants may address more significant concerns. These often involve more appointments, a larger commitment and, in some cases, permanent changes to tooth structure. Ask about the number of visits, durability and what would happen if a restoration needed to be replaced in future.
Making a decision
Take the information home and decide at your own pace.
Reviewing the proposed plan
After the consultation, you may receive a summary of suggested treatments and the order in which they might be done. Some plans start with whitening before matching restorations to the new shade. Ask the dentist to explain why each step is recommended and whether any could be skipped or postponed.
Taking time before you commit
There is usually no need to decide on the spot. Consider the time, maintenance and long-term implications of each option. If you have questions later, call the office. A second conversation can be worthwhile when choosing between treatments that differ in how permanent they are.

Cosmetic consultation questions
Have a question about your situation? Our team can help you plan a visit.
Do I need to know which treatment I want?
No. Many people come in with a concern rather than a specific treatment in mind. The dentist will explain suitable options after examining your teeth and listening to your goals.
Will the dentist push for extensive treatment?
The aim is to explain options so you can choose. You can ask about the most conservative approach and whether smaller changes might meet your goals. Decisions remain yours.
Can cosmetic treatment be combined?
Yes, plans sometimes combine whitening, bonding or other treatments. The order matters, since restorations are usually matched to the colour of surrounding teeth. Your dentist will explain a logical sequence.
How long do cosmetic results last?
It varies by treatment, your habits and oral care. Whitening may fade, and bonding or veneers can eventually need repair or replacement. Ask about expected maintenance for each option discussed.
Is a consultation the same as a checkup?
A cosmetic consultation focuses on appearance goals but still considers oral health. If you are overdue for an exam, the dentist may recommend one so any problems are addressed before cosmetic work.
