Dentistry You Choose, Not Dentistry You Need
Most dentistry fixes problems. Cosmetic dentistry fulfils wishes — the chip that's caught your eye in photos for years, the staining that coffee built, the crooked front tooth you've trained yourself to smile around. There's nothing frivolous about it: patients consistently tell us that fixing the thing they were self-conscious about changed how often they smile, and that changes a lot.
Your Cosmetic Toolkit
Teeth whitening. The highest-impact-per-dollar treatment in dentistry — professional-strength brightening with custom trays and dentist supervision.
Dental bonding. Sculpted tooth-coloured resin repairs chips, small gaps and worn edges — often in a single visit, often without anesthetic.
Porcelain veneers. Thin, hand-crafted porcelain facings that transform colour, shape and alignment at once — the tool of choice for significant front-tooth transformations.
Dental crowns. When a tooth needs strength and beauty, a modern ceramic crown delivers both.
Invisalign. Sometimes the most conservative cosmetic fix is simply moving the teeth you already have into better positions — no drilling at all.
Smile makeovers. The comprehensive version: multiple treatments sequenced into one designed result.
Our Design Philosophy: Natural First
The best cosmetic dentistry is invisible — people notice you look great, not what changed. We design against your facial features, skin tone, lip line and personality, and for bigger cases you'll preview the result with mock-ups before committing. We're equally direct about restraint: if whitening plus one bonded corner gets you 90% of the result for 20% of the cost, that's what we'll recommend. The smile gallery shows the kind of understated, believable results we aim for.
Start With a Conversation
Bring your questions, your Pinterest screenshots, or just the sentence "I hate this one tooth." A smile consultation covers what's possible, what it costs at each level, and what we'd do in your position. No pressure — this is elective dentistry, and it should feel that way. Request a smile consultation or call (613) 491-3300.
Cosmetic Dentistry — Frequently Asked Questions
Where should I start if I don't like my smile?
With a smile consultation — a relaxed conversation about what bothers you, followed by an exam and a menu of options at different price points. Sometimes the answer is a $300 bonding fix, not a $10,000 makeover; you deserve to know the full range before deciding.
Is cosmetic dentistry covered by insurance?
Purely cosmetic treatment usually isn't, but plenty of 'cosmetic' dentistry has a functional component — a broken tooth restored with a crown, or worn edges rebuilt — which often is covered. We'll structure your estimate honestly and submit pre-authorizations so you know before you commit.
How do I know the results will look natural?
Design and preview. For significant changes we use photos, models and mock-ups so you can see and approve the plan before any tooth is touched. Our standard is a smile that looks like you on your best day — not a row of piano keys.
Does cosmetic treatment damage teeth?
Done properly, no. We favour the most conservative option that achieves your goal — whitening before veneers, bonding before crowns — precisely to preserve as much natural enamel as possible.
