What is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry is when your dentist works to improve how your teeth, gums, and smile look. It includes many kinds of care, such as:
- Teeth Whitening: Makes stained or dark teeth lighter.
- Veneers: Thin, custom-made porcelain shells that cover the front of teeth to improve how they look.
- White Fillings: Tooth-coloured resin used to repair chips or gaps.
- Crowns and Bridges: Dental caps that cover and repair damaged teeth.
- Invisalign: Braces or aligners that straighten teeth.
- Implants: Artificial roots made from titanium. They hold in place a tooth that replaces a missing one.

Who is cosmetic dentistry for?
Cosmetic dentistry may suit you if there is something about your smile you would like to change. It is a personal choice. There is no right or wrong reason to ask about it.
- Colour: Teeth that look yellow or stained may be lightened with teeth whitening.
- Shape and size: Chipped, worn or uneven teeth may be reshaped with veneers.
- Gaps and crooked teeth: Teeth that are spaced out or twisted may be moved with Invisalign.
- Old work: Dark or worn fillings may be replaced with tooth-coloured ones.
Healthy teeth and gums matter first. Your dentist usually checks them before planning any cosmetic work.
What to Expect
A cosmetic visit often starts with a talk. We ask what you would like to change and what you hope your smile will look like. There is no pressure to decide anything that day.
Next comes an exam. Your dentist looks at your teeth, gums and bite, and may take photos or x-rays. Then we talk through a plan with you. You can ask about each choice, how long it may take and what is involved.
For veneers, we usually suggest a wax-up. This is a model of your teeth with the new shapes sculpted in wax. It lets you see the planned smile before treatment starts. We work with local dental labs that have master ceramists, who are experts in dental porcelain. They make your pieces to fit you. After that, treatment begins at a pace that works for you.
How much is cosmetic dentistry?
At Carlton Dental, a veneer on one tooth, the most common cosmetic treatment, ranges from about $1,470 to $1,940*. The high end includes a core under the veneer, and both include the lab fee.
*The range follows the Ontario Dental Association Suggested Fee Guide for General Practitioners, 2026. Your fee depends on the treatment you need, and we give you a written estimate before anything is done.
