A first cosmetic consultation is a conversation, not a commitment. Here is how the hour is usually spent, and what you will leave with.
Many patients arrive at a cosmetic consultation unsure what will happen, or worried they will be persuaded into treatment. At Maison Aurelia the first appointment has one purpose: to understand what you would like to change, and whether it is achievable in a way that looks natural and lasts.
The conversation comes first
We begin seated, away from the treatment chair. You describe what bothers you, what you like about your smile and any treatment you have had before. Photographs of smiles you admire are welcome, but they are a starting point rather than a template.
A careful examination
Next we examine your teeth, gums and bite, because cosmetic work only lasts on a healthy foundation. If anything needs attention first, such as gum inflammation or an old filling, we will tell you plainly.
- Clinical photographs from several angles
- A 3D scan of your teeth
- A review of your bite and jaw movement
- A discussion of shade and proportion
What you leave with
You will not be asked to decide on the day. Within a week you receive a written summary with the options we discussed, what each involves, how long it takes and an indication of cost. Where it helps, we include a digital preview of the proposed changes.
The most important outcome of a first consultation is clarity, not a treatment plan.
