How to Plan Your Smile Makeover: A Step-by-Step Guide
cosmeticdentistry
A simple walk-through of planning a smile makeover in South Surrey — from first assessment to final whitening touch-up.
A smile makeover isn't one procedure — it's a plan. Here's how we usually walk through it with patients at our South Surrey office so you know what to expect before anything begins.
Step 1: Book an assessment
Every plan starts with a conversation. We look at your teeth, listen to what bothers you, and discuss what a realistic outcome looks like. You can start by reviewing our dental treatments or booking through Morgan Heights Dental Centre.
Step 2: Map the issues
We sort what we see into categories — missing teeth, worn or chipped edges, staining, crowding, or old restorations that need updating. Each one has its own fix.
Step 3: Match treatments to goals
Depending on what we find, your plan might include:
- Dental implants for missing teeth
- Same-day CEREC crowns for broken or heavily worn teeth
- Porcelain veneers for front-tooth shape and colour
- Zoom whitening to brighten the final result
Step 4: Sequence and timeline
Some steps need to happen before others. Implants take months to heal; whitening usually comes near the end so veneers and crowns can be matched to your brighter shade.
Step 5: Review costs and schedule
You'll see the full plan and costs in writing before we start. Call 604-535-8835 when you're ready.
