Personalized Cosmetic Dentistry Can Enhance Your Smile

If you want to rejuvenate your smile in Surrey, British Columbia, please don’t look beyond our dental clinic. Our doctors and team treat everyone as family, providing unrivaled personal attention on everything we do, from routine exams to cosmetic dental care. We welcome all patients to sample our below cosmetic dental care procedures:

  • Teeth whitening: Want a bright, white smile? Professional teeth whitening is the quickest and most cost-effective procedure to transform your smile. Our in-office teeth whitening generates a satisfactory outcome in as little as one hour.
  • Porcelain veneers: Dental veneers are thin, durable shells of porcelain affixed to your front teeth to improve their appearance. Porcelain veneers correct numerous cosmetic flaws, including gummy smiles, misshapen, stained, chipped, and gapped teeth.
  • Invisalign: Crooked teeth and a misaligned bite can negatively impact your appearance and oral health. Instead of highly-conspicuous metal braces, we offer Invisalign treatment to correct your malocclusion issues with discreetness, comfort, and speed.
  • Dental crowns: Dental crowns are tooth-shaped dental caps installed to restore function and beauty in your smile. We offer porcelain dental crowns, which mimic the sheen and translucency of your enamel to create natural results.
  • Tooth-colored fillings: Do you have minor cavities detracting from your smile? We offer composite (tooth-colored) fillings to treat minor tooth damage. Unlike amalgam fillings that stick out when your smile, our composite fillings seamlessly blend with your teeth for a natural look.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cosmetic Dentistry

How would you describe cosmetic dental care?

Cosmetic dental care focuses on improving the appearance of your teeth, gums, and overall smile. It includes treatments designed to correct imperfections such as stains, gaps, chips, or misaligned teeth. Procedures can range from teeth whitening and bonding to veneers, crowns, and clear aligners. The aim is to create a natural-looking, attractive smile while maintaining proper dental function. Cosmetic dentistry blends artistry with dental science to provide beautiful and long-lasting results.

What benefits can cosmetic dentistry provide?

Cosmetic dental treatments offer more than just aesthetic improvements. They can enhance your self-confidence, making you feel more comfortable smiling and interacting socially. Many procedures, such as crowns, bonding, and veneers, restore tooth function and protect against further damage. Cosmetic treatments are customized to your needs, giving you a personalized approach that balances appearance with oral health. With proper care, these treatments can provide durable results that improve the look and performance of your teeth.

What types of cosmetic procedures are available?

There are a variety of options to address specific concerns:

  • Teeth Whitening: Removes stains and brightens teeth for a youthful, radiant appearance.
  • Porcelain Veneers: Thin shells that cover the front surface of teeth to correct chips, gaps, or discoloration.
  • Dental Bonding: Tooth-colored resin used to repair minor imperfections, such as cracks or small gaps.
  • Crowns and Bridges: Restorations that protect damaged teeth or replace missing teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics.
  • Invisalign: Clear aligners designed to straighten teeth discreetly for adults and teens.
  • Smile Makeovers: Comprehensive treatment plans combining multiple procedures to achieve a desired smile transformation.

Are cosmetic dental procedures uncomfortable?

Most cosmetic treatments are minimally invasive and well-tolerated. Local anesthesia is often used during procedures such as bonding, veneer placement, or crowns to keep you comfortable. Post-procedure discomfort is usually mild and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Swelling or sensitivity, if it occurs, is typically short-lived and resolves within a few days.

How long can I expect cosmetic dental results to last?

The longevity of cosmetic treatments depends on the procedure, materials, and oral care habits. Teeth whitening may last several months to a few years, while veneers, crowns, and bridges can remain functional for 10–15 years or longer with proper care. Bonding may require maintenance every 3–10 years. Orthodontic treatments like clear aligners create permanent changes, but retainers are needed to maintain alignment. Daily brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups help maximize the lifespan of your cosmetic restorations.

What should I expect during a consultation?

The dentist will assess your oral health and discuss your smile goals during your consultation. They will review available treatment options, recommend a personalized plan, and explain the expected outcomes. The consultation also discusses costs, potential insurance coverage, and financing options. This is your opportunity to ask questions and ensure the chosen plan aligns with your expectations.

Will insurance cover cosmetic treatments?

 Many cosmetic procedures are considered elective and may not be fully covered by dental insurance. However, treatments that also restore tooth function—like crowns or bridges—may receive partial coverage. Coverage varies between providers, so it’s important to review your policy and speak with the dental office about payment options. Some practices offer financing plans to make cosmetic care more accessible.

Who is a good candidate for cosmetic dentistry?

Ideal candidates generally have good oral health and have specific aesthetic concerns they wish to address. Cosmetic dentistry can benefit individuals with discoloration, minor misalignments, chipped or cracked teeth, or gaps. During a consultation, your dentist will evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine which treatments will help you achieve a healthy, confident smile.
