Refresh the look of your smile
Cosmetic Dentistry in Nanaimo
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of your smile while supporting your overall oral health. Patients may consider cosmetic dental treatment for concerns such as stained teeth, chipped teeth, worn edges, uneven spacing, minor shape concerns, or other changes that affect smile confidence.
At Wentworth Dental, our Nanaimo Dental Clinic takes a personalized approach to cosmetic dentistry. Before recommending treatment, our team will assess your teeth, gums, bite, and oral health goals. This helps us explain which options may be appropriate and what results may be realistic for your smile. Cosmetic dentistry may help improve:
Cosmetic Dental Treatments at Wentworth Dental
Tooth Colour, Shape, and Smile Balance
Stained, Worn, or Chipped Teeth
Small Gaps or Uneven Tooth Edges
Confidence in Everyday Smile Appearance
Every smile is different, which means cosmetic dental treatment should be planned carefully. Some patients want a brighter smile, while others want to improve the appearance of chipped, uneven, or worn teeth. In some cases, cosmetic care may also make teeth easier to clean or help protect areas affected by wear or damage.
During your visit, our team will speak with you about your concerns, review your oral health, and explain the benefits, limitations, and possible costs of treatment. If there are concerns such as cavities, gum inflammation, or active dental pain, those may need to be addressed before cosmetic treatment begins.
Our goal is to help patients make informed decisions and feel confident about the next step in their care.
Planning Cosmetic Dentistry Around Your Smile Goals
Teeth whitening is one of the most common cosmetic dentistry options for patients who want to improve the brightness of their smile. Tooth stains can develop from coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, aging, medications, and natural enamel changes. Whitening may help reduce many surface stains and create a cleaner, brighter appearance.
Wentworth Dental offers Pola teeth whitening for patients who are good candidates for whitening treatment. Because every smile responds differently, our team will review your current tooth shade, dental history, and sensitivity concerns before recommending treatment.
Some patients may experience temporary sensitivity during or after whitening. Our team can explain what to expect, how to use whitening products properly, and how to maintain your results with good home care and routine dental cleanings.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is cosmetic dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry includes dental treatments that are designed to improve the appearance of your smile. This may include improving tooth colour, shape, spacing, symmetry, or the look of chipped, worn, or stained teeth. At Wentworth Dental, cosmetic care is planned around your oral health first, so our team can recommend options that support both smile appearance and long-term dental wellness.
Am I a good candidate for cosmetic dentistry?
You may be a good candidate for cosmetic dentistry if your teeth and gums are healthy and you want to improve concerns such as staining, chips, worn edges, small gaps, or uneven tooth appearance. Before treatment, our Dentist will assess your oral health and discuss your goals. If you have cavities, gum concerns, or dental pain, those concerns may need to be treated before starting cosmetic care.
Can cosmetic dentistry fix stained teeth?
Yes, cosmetic dentistry may help improve the appearance of stained or discolored teeth. Teeth whitening may be recommended for many surface stains, especially those caused by food, drinks, or natural aging. However, some deeper stains may not respond as well to whitening. Wentworth Dental can assess the type of discoloration and explain whether Pola teeth whitening or another option may be better suited to your smile.
Will teeth whitening make my teeth sensitive?
Some patients experience temporary sensitivity during or after teeth whitening. This can happen when whitening ingredients pass through the enamel to help lift stains. Sensitivity usually improves after treatment, but every patient is different. At Wentworth Dental, our team can review your sensitivity history, explain how to use whitening products safely, and recommend ways to make the process more comfortable.
How do I know which cosmetic treatment is right for me?
The right cosmetic treatment depends on your goals, oral health, tooth structure, budget, and the type of concern you want to improve. For example, whitening may help with stains, while other options may be needed for chips, worn edges, or shape concerns. During your consultation at Wentworth Dental, our team will explain your options clearly so you can make an informed decision.
