What is cosmetic dentistry?
Dr. Sandhya Goli has a special interest in dental and facial aesthetics. Good cosmetic dentistry is not about identical white teeth; it is about a smile that suits your face, lips and personality. We begin by understanding what you would like to change, then plan treatment with photographs and, where appropriate, a digital smile preview so you can see the proposed outcome before any irreversible step.
Who may need it?
- Stained or discoloured teeth
- Chipped, worn or uneven teeth
- Small gaps or minor crowding
- A gummy or asymmetric smile
- Anyone preparing for a special occasion

How long it takes
From a single whitening session to several weeks for veneers or a full makeover.
Recovery & aftercare
Most cosmetic treatments involve little or no downtime. Temporary sensitivity after whitening is common.
Risks and limitations
Some cosmetic treatments are irreversible (for example veneers requiring enamel reduction). Results should be planned carefully and expectations discussed honestly.
What affects the cost?
Every treatment plan is individual. After your examination we provide a clear written estimate. Factors that influence cost include:
- Treatments combined
- Number of teeth
- Materials (composite, porcelain)
- Whether preliminary gum or orthodontic treatment is needed

Frequently asked questions
What is the least invasive way to improve my smile?
Professional whitening, composite bonding and clear aligners often achieve significant improvements without removing healthy tooth structure. Veneers or crowns are considered when these cannot achieve your goals.
Will cosmetic treatment look natural?
Natural results come from planning around your face, lip line and tooth proportions, and from choosing a shade that suits your complexion. We preview the design before treatment where possible.
Is cosmetic dentistry safe?
When planned by an experienced dentist and preceded by a check of gum and tooth health, cosmetic treatments are safe. Healthy foundations come first.
