Begin with what you would like to change.
A useful consultation starts with your own concerns: a chipped edge, an old restoration, discolouration or a gap. Dr Tadic examines your teeth and gums, listens to your priorities and explains which approaches may be appropriate. The health of your mouth comes into the plan alongside appearance.
Options you can explore
- Professional teeth whitening
- Porcelain and composite veneers
- Crowns for damaged teeth
- Bridges and planning for missing teeth
Colour, shape and repair are different questions
Whitening changes the colour of natural teeth. Veneers cover the front surface of a tooth, while a crown covers more of an existing tooth. A bridge replaces a missing tooth or teeth. These treatments have different purposes and are not interchangeable.
A focused change may be enough for what you want. An assessment helps you compare suitable options, including a smaller repair or leaving your teeth as they are.
Make room for the practical questions
Before deciding, understand how much tooth preparation is involved, the number of visits, possible sensitivity, maintenance and future repair or replacement. Bring up existing fillings or crowns and any clenching or grinding. These details can affect treatment planning.
A plan you can consider in your own time
Dr Tadic explains the proposed care, costs, benefits, risks and alternatives. You can ask for clarification, take time to think or seek another opinion. Booking a consultation does not commit you to cosmetic treatment.
Results vary between people. The plan should reflect your teeth and oral health, rather than a promised shade, a photograph of someone else’s smile or a deadline.
Your questions,
answered.
Read the answers below, then bring any questions about your own teeth to your visit.
Do I need to choose a treatment before booking?
No. Describe what you would like to change. The consultation helps establish which approaches, if any, are suitable for you.
What is the difference between whitening and veneers?
Whitening lightens natural teeth. Veneers cover their front surfaces and may change shape as well as appearance. Veneers can involve tooth preparation and future repair or replacement; whitening will not change the colour of existing crowns, veneers or fillings.
Can I have just one tooth assessed?
Yes. You can book to discuss a single tooth or an existing piece of dental work. Dr Tadic will consider the surrounding teeth as part of the assessment.
How much does cosmetic dental treatment cost?
The fee depends on the treatment, materials and number of teeth involved. Ask about the consultation fee when booking. Your proposed treatment and its costs are explained before you decide.
Is Dr Tadic a registered specialist?
Dr Marie Tadic is a registered dentist. Cosmetic dentistry describes an area of dental care, not a specialist registration. If your assessment identifies a need for specialist care, referral can be discussed.
