What happens at a smile makeover consultation?+
You explain your priorities, the dentist examines the teeth, gums, bite and existing dental work, and you discuss the options that fit those findings. The appointment should also identify whether more records or preparatory care are needed before a final plan and quotation.
Do I need to know which treatment I want before I come?+
No. You can describe the concern without deciding whether the answer is whitening, alignment, bonding, veneers or something else. Comparing those possibilities is part of the consultation.
Will I receive a final smile makeover quote immediately?+
A written quotation can be prepared once the clinical scope is clear enough. If imaging, cleaning, specialist input or a design stage could change the plan, those steps may need to happen first.
Will photographs or scans be taken?+
They may be recommended when they help document the smile, assess relationships or communicate a proposed change. The dentist should explain which records are relevant and whether any separate fee applies.
Can I see a proposed result before deciding?+
Depending on the plan, digital design, a wax-up or a trial smile may help you discuss shape and proportion. A preview supports a decision but cannot guarantee an exact biological or long-term outcome.
Could the consultation result in no cosmetic treatment?+
Yes. You may decide that no immediate change is worthwhile, or the dentist may recommend health care, monitoring, whitening or alignment before restorative options are reconsidered.
