Straight teeth are a wonderful achievement, but for most adults, alignment is only the first step. Unlike teenagers, adult teeth have lived a life. Years of wear and tear leave their mark—discoloration, chipped corners, worn edges, and subtle imperfections. Even after your teeth are perfectly straight with Invisalign, Angel Aligners, or other clear aligners, these small details can make your smile look less than ideal.
Why Alignment Alone Isn’t Enough
Think of it like restoring a car after an accident. You can realign the body, fix the dents, and refresh the paint—but look closely, and tiny scratches and imperfections remain. Similarly, once your teeth are aligned, it’s natural to notice the fine details: worn areas, uneven edges, or slight color differences. For adults, these issues are common and can subtly affect the overall appearance of your smile.
Cosmetic Refinement: Bringing Your Smile to Life
This is where cosmetic finishing treatments come in. At A Better Smile Dental Centre, we offer these enhancements to all patients who request them, often at a small additional cost. Treatments are tailored to your smile and needs, and may include:
- Tooth reshaping – smooth uneven edges and restore natural contours
- Composite repairs or extensions – rebuild worn-down areas, chips, or corners
- Veneers – for patients seeking a more dramatic improvement, creating symmetry, brightness, and a polished appearance
Our approach is always conservative and personalised. The goal isn’t to overdo it—it’s to enhance what nature and time have shaped, creating a smile that reflects confidence, balance, and care.
Why Adult Smiles Benefit from Attention to Detail
Alignment is the foundation of a beautiful smile, but attention to detail brings it to life. Straight teeth alone don’t correct wear, discoloration, or minor damage that accumulates over the years. By refining your teeth after alignment, you achieve a smile that is not only straight but also harmonious, healthy, and visually stunning. At A Better Smile, every patient has the option to take this final step. Cosmetic finishing ensures your smile is polished, natural, and long-lasting—turning excellent alignment into a truly remarkable result.
