Cosmetic dentistry has a right order, and it runs least invasive first. This list is in that order.

Hand-shaded ceramic, a permanent change to the tooth. Alters shape, length, color and alignment in one go.

Conservative, same-day repairs to chips, small gaps and worn edges. No drilling down healthy teeth.

The least invasive place to start, and the first thing to try before anything permanent.
Read more 04Smile Makeover
The full plan when several things need fixing at once and they all have to agree with each other.

Rebuilding teeth that are cracked, worn through, or carrying old failing work.
