Why Newmarket patients come to Aurora
Choosing a cosmetic dentist from Newmarket usually starts with a question, not a treatment: what would make the biggest difference to my smile, and in what order? That conversation takes time, so we try to make it easy to book. Tuesday and Thursday evenings until 7 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. leave room for a consultation without taking a day off.
Dr. Bita Tahghighi has advanced training in cosmetic and aesthetic dentistry, including a Fellowship in Aesthetic Dentistry at UCLA. Whoever you see, the plan starts with your health and your goals. Parking is free at the door, and you get a written estimate before anything begins.
What a Newmarket cosmetic dentist visit covers here
Bring photos of smiles you like, or simply describe what bothers you when you look in the mirror. Your dentist then checks for cavities, gum disease and signs of grinding. Those come first, because cosmetic work placed on unhealthy teeth may not last.
Next, you go through the options that could reach your goal, from the most conservative to the most involved, with the trade-offs of each. You do not have to decide on the day.
Why the order of treatment matters
Fillings, bonding and porcelain keep the shade they were made in, while whitening only lightens natural enamel. A typical sequence looks like this, though many people only need one or two steps.
- Treat any decay or gum problems
- Straighten crowded or gapped teeth, if you choose to
- Whiten to the shade you want
- Match bonding or veneers to the new shade
- Protect the work with a night guard if you grind
Keeping it conservative
Small chips and gaps can often be fixed with bonding, which keeps most of the natural tooth. Moving teeth with aligners can avoid covering them at all. Porcelain veneers can change several teeth evenly, but they remove a thin layer of enamel and cannot be undone. Most cosmetic work is elective, so insurance may pay little, though repairing a broken or decayed tooth may be partly covered.

Questions
Do I need a consultation before any cosmetic work?
Yes. An exam makes sure your teeth and gums are healthy and helps your dentist suggest options that suit you. Some people leave with a one-step plan, such as whitening, and others with a staged plan.
Is Dr. Tahghighi a cosmetic dentistry specialist?
Cosmetic dentistry is not a recognised dental specialty in Ontario. Dr. Bita Tahghighi has advanced training in cosmetic and aesthetic dentistry, including a Fellowship in Aesthetic Dentistry at UCLA.
How many trips from Newmarket will a smile plan take?
It depends on the plan. Whitening or bonding may take one or two visits. Combined plans with aligners or veneers can run over several months. Your dentist will outline the visits before you begin.
Can I see what the result might look like?
Your dentist can talk through what is realistic and may use shade guides or models to explain. Results differ from person to person. You can ask questions at each stage before you commit.
Is cosmetic dentistry covered by insurance?
Plans rarely pay for changes made only for looks. Repairs to a chipped, broken or decayed tooth may be. We can check with your insurer first and bill them directly.
