Understanding your options
About Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic treatment can address tooth colour, shape, small chips and some spacing concerns. Healthy teeth and gums come first: active decay or gum disease may need treatment before cosmetic work. Whitening, bonding and veneers differ in cost, maintenance and how much tooth preparation they require, so the best option depends on an examination and your goals.
Who may benefit
- People concerned about stains or discolouration
- Patients exploring changes to chipped or uneven teeth
- Anyone comparing whitening, bonding and veneers
Suitability is determined through an individual dental assessment.

Looking after your smile
Continue brushing and cleaning between teeth, and attend recommended checkups. Whitening results can fade with time and habits. Avoid using teeth to open packaging; ask about a protective appliance if you grind your teeth. Bonding and veneers can chip or wear and may eventually need repair or replacement.
Common questions
Will whitening change crowns or fillings?
Whitening lightens natural tooth structure, not crowns, veneers or fillings. Existing restorations may need to be considered when planning an even shade.
Is bonding the same as veneers?
No. Bonding uses tooth-coloured resin to reshape or repair teeth. Veneers are thin coverings attached to the front of teeth and may require irreversible tooth preparation.
Are cosmetic results permanent?
No treatment lasts forever. Longevity varies with the procedure, oral hygiene, bite and habits. Your dentist can explain expected maintenance without guaranteeing a particular result.
