Smile Assessment

A structured first step for veneers, bonding, whitening, or clear aligners. We use it to understand what you want changed before recommending a treatment path.

Who this is for

Start with the questions that shape the appointment.

You do not need to know the treatment you want. These questions help the team understand the problem, your goals, and the records that may be useful.

  1. 01What would you like to change about your smile?
  2. 02Are you thinking about veneers, bonding, whitening, aligners, or still unsure?
  3. 03Do you have a timeframe in mind?
  4. 04Have you had cosmetic dental treatment before?
  5. 05Are you comfortable sharing smile photos before your visit?

Clinical review

What is checked before a pathway is proposed.

Each step narrows the options. It may also show that a different treatment, staged care, or no treatment is the safer choice.

01

We screen the basics first

Gum health, enamel, bite, existing fillings, wear, and sensitivity can all affect which options are suitable.

02

We map the conservative options

Sometimes whitening, bonding, or aligners should be considered before porcelain veneers. We explain the trade-offs plainly.

03

We plan the visible result

Where appropriate, digital scans, photographs, shade discussion, and a trial smile help you review direction before irreversible treatment.

04

You leave with a written next step

You receive options, indicative fees, and timing. Your final quote depends on clinical assessment.

Not an online diagnosis

This page cannot determine suitability.

It helps prepare the right appointment. It does not replace examination, imaging where indicated, or a written treatment plan.

  1. 01An online pathway cannot confirm veneer suitability.
  2. 02Photos cannot show bite, enamel thickness, gum health, or decay risk reliably.
  3. 03A clinical assessment is needed before any quote or recommendation is final.

Indicative fees

02

Common questions

Questions before you book.

These answers explain the pathway. Your dentist can explain what applies to your own circumstances.

Is this a quote?

No. It is a structured consultation pathway. A final quote requires a clinical assessment.

Do I need to know which treatment I want?

No. The assessment is useful when you know what bothers you but not which treatment fits.

Will I get a trial smile?

A trial smile may be recommended for veneer cases where it would help you review shape and proportion before final treatment.

A clear first step

Bring the questions. Leave with the next decision explained.

The appointment should clarify suitability, alternatives, records, timing, and what a final quote would need to include.
