Start here
Start from what bothers you.
Most people know what they'd like to change, not what it's called. Here is where we usually start. The consult confirms it.

Yellow or stained teeth
Start with whitening.

A chipped or worn edge
Bonding, usually in one visit.

A small gap
Bonding, or aligners if teeth need to move.
-
Crooked or crowded front teeth
Aligners first, then maybe bonding.
-
Several worn, uneven or dark teeth
Veneers, often after whitening.
-
An old crown with a dark edge
A new crown matched to your smile.
-
Many things at once
A smile makeover plan.

Ranges are typical for 2026 in Vancouver and are not quotes. Whitening and most veneers are not covered by insurance. Crowns, and bonding that repairs a broken tooth, often are in part.
