Seeing Jarvis patients at our Port Dover office
Every dental service for Jarvis patientsA plan for the whole smile
A makeover works best when every step fits together.
A smile makeover addresses several concerns at once, such as colour, shape, alignment, gaps and missing teeth, using a combination of treatments. Because each step affects the next, planning is essential. A consultation maps out what you want, what your mouth needs and the order in which treatments make sense.
The consultation for a Jarvis patient happens at our Port Dover office. Expect a thorough look at your teeth, gums and bite, and an honest discussion of goals, timelines and costs.
Define your goals
Your vision is the starting point.
Describing your ideal smile
Think about what you like and dislike about your smile. Is it the colour, the shape of certain teeth, gaps, crowding or missing teeth? Bring photos of smiles you admire and older photos of your own smile. Being specific helps the dentist understand your expectations and suggest a realistic plan.
Practical considerations
Consider your timeline, budget and how many appointments you can manage. Some makeovers take a few visits, while others span many months. Knowing these practical factors helps the dentist suggest an approach that fits your life and can be phased if needed.
Assess your mouth
A beautiful smile needs a healthy foundation.
Health comes first
The dentist checks for decay, gum disease, cracked teeth and failing restorations. These need to be addressed before cosmetic work begins, or the results may not last. X-rays, photos and impressions or scans are often used to document your starting point and plan treatment accurately.
Bite and facial balance
The dentist looks at how your teeth meet, signs of grinding and how your smile relates to your lips and face. A plan that improves appearance but strains the bite may cause problems later. Considering function alongside aesthetics helps create results that look good and work well.
Build the plan
The order of treatment matters.
Combining treatments
A makeover might include whitening, aligners, bonding, veneers, crowns, implants or gum contouring. The sequence is important: alignment often comes before veneers, and whitening before tooth-coloured restorations are matched. The dentist will explain each step, why it is included and what alternatives exist.
Previewing the outcome
Photos, models or digital previews may help you visualize the proposed changes. A trial version may sometimes be possible. These tools help align expectations before permanent work begins. Ask questions and share feedback, since adjustments are easier during planning than after treatment.
Deciding
A clear plan makes the decision easier.
Reviewing costs and phases
Ask for a written summary of the recommended treatments, the expected number of visits and estimated costs. If the full plan is more than you want to undertake at once, ask how it could be phased. Some steps can be done now and others later without compromising the result.
Taking time to decide
You do not need to commit at the consultation. Take time to review the plan, ask follow-up questions or seek a second opinion. A makeover is a significant investment, and feeling confident in the plan is more important than starting quickly.

Smile makeover questions
Have a question about your situation? Our team can help you plan a visit.
How long does a smile makeover take?
It depends on the treatments involved. Simple makeovers may take a few visits, while those involving orthodontics or implants can take many months.
Can it be done in stages?
Often, yes. Many plans can be phased to spread out time and cost. The dentist will suggest which steps should come first.
Will I see what it will look like first?
Photos, models or digital previews may be available to help you visualize the result. Ask the dentist what preview options are possible for your plan.
Do I need healthy teeth first?
