A smile makeover is not one specific procedure. It is a personalized combination of treatments designed to improve the appearance, function, and overall harmony of your smile.

Some patients come to us with one concern they would like to address. Others have several changes in mind and want help understanding how different treatment options can work together.

You may be considering cosmetic dentistry because of:

• Tooth discolouration or staining
• Chipped, cracked, or worn teeth
• Uneven tooth shape or size
• Spaces between teeth
• Crowding or misalignment
• Missing teeth
• Older dental work you would like to update
• Excessive or uneven gum display
• Changes to your smile over time

You are welcome to bring photographs or examples of smiles you like to your consultation. They can help us understand the overall look you are drawn to while still designing a result that complements your own features.

Every cosmetic treatment plan begins with a conversation.

We want to understand what you notice about your smile, what you would like to change, and what you would prefer to leave untouched.

Your consultation may include:

• A comprehensive examination
• Digital photographs and imaging
• Assessment of your teeth, gums, bite, and existing dental work
• Discussion of your cosmetic goals
• Review of possible treatment options
• Consideration of treatment timing and priorities

In many cases, there may be more than one way to achieve a similar result. We will explain those options clearly, including the benefits, limitations, and long-term considerations of each.

Our goal is not to create the same smile for every patient. It is to create a result that feels balanced, healthy, and appropriate for you.

Dental crowns can be used to restore teeth that are weakened, heavily filled, cracked, worn, or significantly damaged.

A crown covers and protects the visible portion of a tooth while restoring its shape, strength, and appearance.

When crowns are being used in a visible area of the smile, careful attention is given to colour, proportion, shape, and how the restoration blends with the surrounding teeth.

Professional teeth whitening is a simple way to refresh and brighten your smile.

At AltaVia Dental, whitening options may include professionally supervised in-office or take-home treatment depending on your goals and individual needs.

Before whitening, we will assess your teeth and gums and discuss whether whitening is appropriate for you.

It is also important to know that existing crowns, fillings, and veneers do not whiten in the same way as natural teeth. If you are considering other cosmetic treatment, we can help plan the appropriate sequence.

More About Teeth Whitening

Dental veneers are thin restorations placed over the front surface of selected teeth to change their shape, colour, proportion, or overall appearance.

Veneers may be considered for concerns such as:

• Chipped or worn teeth
• Uneven tooth shapes
• Certain spaces between teeth
• Persistent discolouration
• Differences in tooth length or proportion
• Minor cosmetic alignment concerns

Veneers are not the right solution for every smile. Depending on your goals, more conservative treatment such as whitening, bonding, or orthodontics may be appropriate.

We will help you understand the advantages and limitations of each option before deciding together what makes the most sense.
