Frequently asked questions

1. Will I have dental treatment at my first appointment?

We often hear this question, and the answer is no. Your first visit will not involve dental treatment. This appointment is to assess your needs and plan your care.

We will focus on gathering key information, such as photos and scans of your teeth, and discuss your goals. This helps us make a personalized plan for your smile makeover, which will make your future visits more efficient.

2. Will I be locked into an expensive treatment?

Absolutely not. A key part of your first appointment is discussing your wants, your fears, and giving you full transparency about your treatment options. Of course, this includes cost. Great dentistry and life-changing outcomes do not come cheap, but there are always different options we can explore with you.
