Define the changes that matter
You may want a brighter colour, more even edges, smaller gaps or restoration of worn teeth. Describe what concerns you and what you want to keep. The dentist checks whether the change can be achieved conservatively and whether the gums or bite need treatment first.
Preview the direction
Photographs, digital scans and a mock-up where appropriate can help communicate shape, length and proportions. The trial guides discussion; it is not a guarantee of an exact finished appearance. We consider speech and function alongside the visible smile.
Compare the treatment paths
Whitening and bonding may address limited changes. Veneers or crowns may be useful where shape or structure needs restoration. Orthodontics may be preferable for movement of natural teeth. A full-mouth rehabilitation is a wider functional plan and is discussed separately when many teeth or the bite are affected.
