The short answer
Sometimes a conservative approach may fit, such as discussing alignment, whitening or limited restoration rather than removing more tooth structure. The dentist must assess what is healthy and realistic for your case.
What to consider for your own care
Bring examples of what you like, but expect the dentist to assess your own teeth, gums, bite and existing restorations. Ask about conservative options, maintenance and what cannot be promised.
When to speak with a dentist
A painful or damaged tooth should be assessed for health before making a cosmetic plan.
Next step
Ask Dental Works: “Can I choose a minimally invasive smile design?” Share your symptoms, goals and any deadline so the dentist can explain suitable options and what should happen next at a Sion East consultation.
