Smile Gallery

Before and after photographs are the most persuasive thing a cosmetic practice can show, and they are also the easiest to mislead with. A few things are worth knowing when you look at any gallery, including this one.

Every case here was treated at this office by Dr. Mathew. They are not stock photographs and they are not manufacturer case studies.

Results vary, and the starting point is why

What is achievable depends on what you begin with: the health of the underlying teeth and gums, how much enamel is present, your bite, the position of the gumline, and how much your smile shows when you talk. Two people asking for the same result can need very different treatment to get there, at very different cost.

What to bring to a consultation

A photograph of a smile you like communicates more in five seconds than a paragraph of description. It does not have to be realistic for your case; it tells us what you are actually responding to, which is often shape or proportion rather than the colour people think they are pointing at.

Dr. Mathew will tell you what is achievable in your case and what it would take, including when a simpler and cheaper treatment would get you most of the way. Whitening rather than veneers, or bonding rather than crowns, is frequently the honest answer.
