Step one
Health. Decay and gum disease treated before anything cosmetic.
Yaletown Dentistry / Services / Smile makeovers
Not a single treatment — a plan. Health first, then the bite, then how it looks.
A smile makeover is several treatments sequenced together: some combination of whitening, bonding, veneers, crowns and straightening, planned as one job rather than picked off a menu.
The order matters more than the menu. Decay and gum disease get dealt with first, then the bite, then appearance. Cosmetic work built on an untreated foundation fails, and it fails expensively.
Health. Decay and gum disease treated before anything cosmetic.
The bite. If your teeth are chipping, we find out why.
Appearance, in the least invasive order that gets there.
So you can see the proposed finish before committing.
It does not all have to happen at once, or be paid for at once.
Not on this site. The consultation focuses on your own options and limitations.
You get an itemised written estimate before anything starts. We bill your insurance directly, so you usually pay only your own portion on the day, and the Canadian Dental Care Plan is accepted. In-house financing is available through PaySpyre, so treatment can be paid for over time.
Whatever your case actually needs — commonly whitening, bonding or veneers, sometimes alignment and crowns. It is planned as one sequence rather than treatment by treatment.
It depends entirely on what is involved, so we do not publish a figure. You get an itemised plan before anything begins.
Anything from a few weeks to several months if teeth need moving first. The plan gives you the timeline up front.
Yes, and many people do. We sequence it so each stage stands on its own.
