02Natural-tooth colour

Ask about current professional whitening options

A whitening assessment considers the current colour of the natural teeth, oral health, sensitivity, existing restorations, the change you want, and the limits of whitening. Ask about current systems, in-office or take-home availability, timing, and fees.

03Tooth appearance

Discuss veneers, preparation, and alternatives before deciding

A veneer assessment begins with the appearance you want to discuss and the condition of the teeth and gums. Review preparation, permanence, material and laboratory considerations, realistic limits, alternatives, maintenance, and expected fees before deciding whether veneers are appropriate.

05What the consultation covers

Review the goal, starting point, options, and limits

Four things are established before treatment is recommended:

  1. Describe the goal

    Explain what you would like to change and what matters most about the decision.

  2. Assess oral health and existing dental work

    The examination helps identify issues that may affect suitability, sequencing, or the visible result.

  3. Compare reasonable options

    Review what each appropriate option may change, what it cannot change, relevant preparation or sensitivity, maintenance, and alternatives.

  4. Confirm timing, care roles, and fees

    Ask who provides each stage, whether a referral is needed, what the estimate includes, and what could change it.

07Insurance and fees

Ask for an estimate before treatment.

  1. Fees depend on the examination findings, the care recommended, and the treatment you choose. Materials, records, laboratory work, treatment stages, and referred care may affect the estimate.

  2. We can help submit eligible claims or estimates. Your plan determines whether any part of the care is covered and whether the insurer pays the clinic directly.

  • Came in for a check up since I'm in the area and was greeted with smiles all around. Had a great experience with the front desk staff and the dentist himself. Everyone was very personable, friendly and explained exactly what was going on with my mouth. Will definitely be back for the rest of my dental needs!

10Questions

Commonly Asked Questions

If your question is not answered here, call the clinic and the team will answer it.

  • How do I choose between whitening and veneers?

    Start with the goal and an examination. The assessment compares how whitening or a veneer consultation relates to your oral health, existing dental work, preparation, permanence, alternatives, maintenance, and expected fees.

  • Can cosmetic care begin at the first visit?

    Do not assume that it will. The clinic will confirm the appointment type. Assessment, records, oral-health needs, care coordination, and the treatment plan may affect the sequence.

  • Will insurance cover cosmetic dental care?

    Your plan determines coverage and direct payment. Ask the clinic for an estimate and contact your insurer about how the plan applies to the proposed care.

  • Can the website show what my result will look like?

    No result is promised from a photo, simulation, or gallery. An assessment is needed to discuss realistic options and limits for your situation.

  • Are all cosmetic procedures completed in-house?

    The page does not make that promise. Dr. Wu is a general dentist. If care is needed outside the clinic's scope, the team will explain the referral.
