What should I expect at my first cosmetic dentistry consultation?
Your first visit begins with a focused assessment of your teeth, gums and bite, followed by a discussion of the changes you want to see. The dentist will look at colour, shape, spacing, wear and any existing work, then explain which cosmetic dentistry options are appropriate for your case.
This is also where the treatment plan is mapped out. If a smile makeover is suitable, the steps, timing, materials and aftercare will be discussed in plain language so that you know what to expect before any work begins. If an alternative approach would serve you more appropriately, that will be explained as well.
Patients often appreciate that the process is led by one dentist from start to finish. It helps keep communication clear, supports consistent planning and makes follow-up easier if refinements are needed.

Frequently asked questions
Is a cosmetic dentist the right choice if I only want one tooth improved?
Yes, a cosmetic dentist can help with a single tooth as well as a full smile. The consultation is used to check whether whitening, bonding, a veneer or a crown is the most suitable option. The right choice depends on the tooth’s condition, how much structure is left and how the tooth fits into the rest of your smile. Even small changes are planned carefully so the result looks natural and functions comfortably.
What is the difference between cosmetic dentistry and general dentistry?
General dentistry focuses on oral health, prevention and treating disease, while cosmetic dentistry is concerned with the appearance of the teeth and smile as well as their function. In practice, the two often overlap. A healthy tooth may still need cosmetic improvement, and a cosmetic plan still has to respect the bite, gum health and durability of the restoration. That is why a full examination comes first.
Can a smile makeover include clear aligners?
Yes, a smile makeover may include clear aligners if tooth position is part of the cosmetic concern. Aligners can help improve mild to moderate spacing or crowding, and they are often combined with other treatments such as whitening or bonding. The dentist will assess whether aligners are suitable for your bite and whether they are the right step before other cosmetic work begins.
How much does cosmetic dentistry cost?
The cost depends on the treatment chosen, the materials used, the number of teeth involved and the complexity of the case. Whitening is usually a more modest option, while veneers and crown work can sit in a higher tier because of the planning and fabrication involved. Some cases need laboratory work, while others can be completed digitally in the practice. An exact, personalised estimate is given after the consultation, in writing, before any treatment starts.
Can I get crowns or veneers done in one visit?
Many suitable crowns and veneers can be completed in a single visit using digital scanning and CEREC CAD/CAM technology. This depends on the tooth, the bite and the treatment goals, so not every case qualifies for same-day care. The dentist will assess this in person and explain whether a one-visit workflow is appropriate for your smile.
How far is the practice from Strubens Valley?
The practice is a nearby Roodepoort option for patients in Strubens Valley, close to Clearwater Mall and accessible through local roads into Amorosa Office Park. The drive is usually short and convenient, which is helpful if you need scans, shade matching, fitting or follow-up care. Exact travel time depends on traffic and your starting point.
What happens if I am not sure which treatment I need?
That is completely normal. Many patients know they want a better-looking smile but are not sure whether whitening, bonding, veneers, crowns or clear aligners will give the right result. The consultation is where those choices are assessed in person. The dentist will explain what is practical, what is cosmetic, and what will support the health of the teeth as well as the appearance of the smile.
Do I need to choose a full smile makeover?
No, a smile makeover is only one way to approach cosmetic dentistry. Some patients need a single treatment, while others benefit from a combination plan. The right option depends on your goals, the state of your teeth and how much change you want to see. The consultation is used to decide whether a small adjustment or a broader plan is the most appropriate fit.
