PATIENT-FIRST. ALWAYS.UNDERSTANDING YOUR CAREA good decision starts
A good decision starts
with a good conversation.
A cosmetic consultation is an opportunity to talk about the appearance of your smile without committing to treatment. You might want to discuss colour, shape or alignment. A clinician can review your oral health, explain realistic options and help you consider whether any treatment is appropriate.
Bring the questions that matter to you. Ask what your clinician recommends, why they recommend it and what other approaches could be considered. You should have the opportunity to understand the plan before making a decision.
Sample patient information. Treatment suitability, risks, costs and outcomes require a consultation with a qualified dental professional.

Use these prompts to begin a conversation with your own treating professional.
Where should I begin?+
Start with your goals and a dental assessment. Oral health and suitability should guide any discussion of cosmetic options.
Can I see what a change might look like?+
Ask whether your clinician offers planning tools. Any simulation should be explained as an illustration, not a guaranteed outcome.
Do I have to choose treatment immediately?+
No. Ask for the information you need and time to consider your options. Choosing not to proceed is also a decision.
