Cosmetic Dentistry
More Than Aesthetics — It’s About Confidence
Cosmetic dentistry covers a wide range of treatments designed to improve the appearance of your teeth, gums, and overall smile. From subtle touch-ups like whitening to more comprehensive smile makeovers, these procedures are tailored to your unique facial features and personal goals. At UniverCity Dental, every cosmetic consultation begins with a thorough assessment using our iTero digital scanner, so you can see a realistic preview of your results before any treatment begins.
Personalized Treatments for Every Smile
No two smiles are alike, and neither are our treatment plans. Whether you’re dealing with discolouration, chipped teeth, uneven spacing, or simply want a polished, camera-ready finish, Dr. Sun draws on her advanced training in aesthetic dentistry to recommend the right combination of treatments for you. Common cosmetic services at our clinic include professional teeth whitening, composite bonding, porcelain veneers, and smile design consultations — all delivered in our calm, modern, and welcoming clinic.
Frequently Asked Questions
Your Questions, Answered
Have a question before your first visit? Here are answers to some of the most common things patients ask us.
Am I a good candidate for cosmetic dentistry?
Most patients in good general oral health are excellent candidates for cosmetic treatments. During your consultation, Dr. Sun will review your dental and medical history, discuss your smile goals, and recommend a plan that works with your natural teeth. We always prioritize your long-term oral health alongside aesthetics.
How much does cosmetic dentistry cost?
Costs vary depending on the type and extent of treatment. During your consultation, we’ll provide a transparent, itemized estimate so you know exactly what to expect. Some cosmetic procedures may have a restorative component that’s covered under your dental insurance plan — we’re happy to help you navigate your benefits.
I have dental anxiety. How do you help patients who are nervous?
Dental anxiety is very common and something we take seriously at University Dental. Dr. Sun and our team are experienced in working with anxious patients and will take your pace and comfort into account throughout every appointment. We encourage you to let us know about your concerns when booking so we can take extra steps to make your experience as comfortable as possible.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Please bring a valid piece of ID, your dental insurance card (if applicable). If you have any previous dental records or X-rays, feel free to bring those along as well — though it’s not required.
Do I need a referral to book a cosmetic consultation?
Not at all. You can book a cosmetic consultation directly with us — no referral needed. Walk-ins are welcome, and we often have same-day appointments available. Simply call us or book online to get started.
Invisalign
Routine oral examinations help detect issues early — from cavities to gum disease — before they require more complex treatment. We recommend check-ups every six months for most patients.
Veneers
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells—typically porcelain or composite—bonded to the front of teeth to improve aesthetics by covering gaps, chips, stains, or misalignment.
Dental Crowns
We use composite resin to restore teeth affected by decay. Tooth-coloured fillings blend naturally with your enamel and are a durable, aesthetically mindful solution for cavities of various sizes.
