Step by step
What's Involved in Hiring a Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dental treatment starts with a consultation to discuss what you want to change about your smile, followed by a tailored treatment plan and the procedures themselves.
Initial consultation and assessment
You meet the dentist to discuss what you dislike about your smile and what results you are hoping for. The dentist examines your teeth, gums, and bite, often taking photographs and X-rays. Many practices offer a free or low-cost initial consultation for cosmetic work.
Treatment plan and digital preview
The dentist creates a personalised treatment plan with options, timescales, and costs. For veneers and smile makeovers, digital smile design software can show you a preview of your expected results before committing. This is your chance to ask questions and understand exactly what is involved.
Preparatory work
Before cosmetic treatment begins, any underlying dental health issues must be addressed first — fillings, gum treatment, or hygiene appointments. For veneers, teeth are prepared by removing a thin layer of enamel. For implants, bone grafting may be needed months before the implant surgery.
Treatment appointments
The cosmetic work itself varies by procedure. Whitening can be done in a single session. Composite bonding takes 30-60 minutes per tooth. Veneers require two visits — one for preparation and impressions, one for fitting. Aligners involve regular check-ups over 6-18 months. Your dentist will explain the timeline for your specific treatment.
Aftercare and maintenance
The dentist provides aftercare instructions specific to your treatment. Veneers and bonding need careful maintenance to avoid staining and damage. Whitening results fade over time and may need topping up. Implants require good oral hygiene to prevent peri-implantitis. Regular check-ups are essential to maintain your results long-term.
