What’s involved

Four ways to change how your teeth look

Whitening

The least invasive option, and often enough on its own. Works on natural tooth staining — it won’t change the colour of existing fillings, crowns or veneers.

Bonding

Tooth-coloured composite shaped directly onto the tooth to close a small gap, repair a chip or reshape an edge. Usually done in one visit, and reversible in a way veneers are not.

Veneers

Thin custom facings bonded to the front of the teeth, for shape and colour changes that bonding can’t achieve. This involves permanently altering the tooth surface.

Crowns

Where a tooth is heavily filled, cracked or worn, a crown restores its strength as well as its appearance.

Worth knowing: these are often combined, and the right answer is frequently the simplest one. Whitening and a little bonding solves a great many cases that people arrive assuming will need veneers.
Is it right for you?

Who cosmetic treatment suits

It may be worth discussing if…

  • You’re happy with your dental health but not how your teeth look
  • You have chips, small gaps or uneven edges that bother you
  • Staining hasn’t responded to ordinary brushing
  • An old filling or crown no longer matches the teeth around it

It may not be the right fit if…

  • There’s untreated decay or gum disease — that comes first
  • Your main concern is alignment, where Invisalign may suit better
  • You grind or clench heavily, which can shorten the life of veneers
  • You’re looking for a guaranteed specific result — nobody can promise that
Suitability can only be confirmed after an examination. Dr. Han will tell you if something simpler would serve you better, or if a specialist referral makes more sense.
The process

What happens, step by step

01

Consultation

You tell Dr. Han what bothers you. She examines your teeth and gums, and says honestly what is achievable and what isn’t. Veneer consultations are complimentary and carry no obligation.

02

Planning and records

Photographs and a digital scan where needed, so you can see the proposed change before anything is done to your teeth. You receive an estimate at this stage.

03

Treatment

Whitening and bonding are often completed in one visit. Veneers and crowns usually take two — one to prepare and take records, one to fit.

04

Review and aftercare

We check how everything has settled and go through how to look after it. Whitening fades and needs topping up; veneers and crowns eventually need replacing.

Timeframes vary with what you’re having done and how many teeth are involved. Dr. Han will give you a realistic schedule at the consultation rather than a number now.

Cost

What you can expect to pay

Cosmetic treatment is priced by case, because the work involved differs so much between one chipped tooth and a full set of veneers. You will have the figure before anything begins.

Included in a veneer case

  • The complimentary consultation
  • Photographs and digital scanning for planning
  • The veneers themselves and their fitting
  • A review appointment afterwards

Not included, where required

  • Treatment of decay or gum disease beforehand
  • A night guard, if grinding needs protecting against
  • Replacement of existing crowns or fillings not part of the plan
  • Any procedure not expressly listed as included
On insurance: most plans treat purely cosmetic work as ineligible, though treatment that also restores a damaged tooth may be partly covered. We’ll tell you which category your treatment falls into before you decide. Coverage decisions are made by your insurer, not by us.
Planning

Seeing it before you commit to it

Our iTero scanner takes a digital impression without putty, and lets Dr. Han show you the proposed shape and position on screen. It means the conversation happens over a picture rather than a description.

  • No uncomfortable impression material
  • You see the plan before treatment starts
  • Records kept for comparison later

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost?
It depends entirely on what you’re having done and how many teeth are involved. Whitening is the least expensive option; veneers on several teeth are a significant investment. You’ll have the exact figure after your consultation, before you commit to anything.
Is the consultation free?
Veneer consultations are complimentary. For other cosmetic treatment, call us and we’ll tell you what applies before you book.
Will it hurt?
Whitening and bonding usually need no freezing at all. Veneer and crown preparation is done under local anaesthetic. Some people find their teeth temporarily sensitive after whitening, which settles. Tell us if you’re anxious — oral sedation is available for patients it suits.
How long do veneers last?
Well-made veneers commonly last many years, but they are not permanent and will eventually need replacing. Grinding, biting hard objects and gum changes all affect how long they last. Anyone promising a lifetime result is overstating it.
Will whitening work on my crowns or fillings?
No. Whitening changes natural tooth colour only. If you whiten, existing crowns, veneers and tooth-coloured fillings stay the shade they were, and may then look darker by comparison. Dr. Han will factor that into the plan.
Do I need to fix other things first?
Usually yes. Decay and gum disease are treated before cosmetic work, because cosmetic treatment placed over an unhealthy foundation doesn’t last.
Can you show me what it will look like?
We can show you the planned shape and position using digital scanning and photographs. That’s a plan rather than a guarantee — the final result depends on your teeth, your gums and how they respond.
