- Professional Teeth Whitening: Over time, your teeth may become stained or discolored due to various factors such as coffee, wine, or aging. Our professional whitening is planned and supervised by your dentist. Depending on your preference and schedule, you can choose between a single visit or a customized take-home system. Ideal for: Many adults with healthy teeth and gums. Results vary. Whitening can cause temporary sensitivity, and it does not change the colour of crowns or fillings.
- Dental Veneers: These thin, porcelain shells are bonded to the front of your teeth, masking a wide array of imperfections. Veneers Dentistry in Calgary can make a big difference to how your smile looks. Veneers usually need a thin layer of enamel removed, so they are a long-term commitment.
- Ideal for: Chipped teeth, severe discoloration, gaps, slightly misaligned teeth, uneven shapes
- Invisalign: The discreet way to straighten your smile! Invisalign uses clear, custom-made aligners to shift teeth into their desired position gradually.
- Ideal for: Mild to moderate crowding or spacing issues. Invisalign can also be a good option for adults who don’t want the look of traditional braces.
- Dental Bonding: This versatile technique uses tooth-colored resin to reshape teeth and correct minor flaws. Bonding is often a same-day procedure. Ask your dentist whether bonding is an option for you.
- Ideal for: Small chips, closing gaps, reshaping a single tooth. Bonding is often less expensive than veneers.

Realistic Expectations
- Results: Cosmetic dentistry can be life-changing but may not deliver ‘Hollywood perfection.’ We prioritize natural-looking results that enhance your smile without appearing artificial. It’s important to note that, like any medical procedure, there are potential risks and side effects. During your consultation, our team will discuss these in detail to ensure you understand clearly and can make an informed decision.
- Cost: It’s important to note that cosmetic procedures generally aren’t covered by insurance. However, our team can explain the costs before treatment and discuss financing options with you, if needed, to make your smile transformation more affordable and accessible.
Maintenance: Even with cosmetic dentistry, excellent home care, and regular checkups are essential to maintaining your beautiful new smile. This includes brushing and flossing regularly, avoiding foods and drinks that can stain your teeth, and scheduling regular checkups with our team to ensure your oral health remains in top condition.
