The philosophy
Incrementally, by conviction. The smaller treatment comes before the larger one wherever the smaller one will genuinely deliver: whitening before veneers when the shape of your teeth is fine and only the shade bothers you, alignment before anything when crowding is what the eye is catching, and a straight answer when the improvement you want is smaller or cheaper than the treatment you walked in asking about. Cosmetic dentistry has a reputation for upselling; this practice's defense is the same explain-first process as everywhere else, with the added step of showing you the projected result where technology allows it.
Every cosmetic consultation starts with health, because cosmetics on an unhealthy foundation fail: gums and teeth get examined first, and anything active gets addressed before the esthetic work it would otherwise undermine.
Three doors
The shade bothers you, the shape does not. Professional whitening lifts stains from coffee, wine and years, with results over-the-counter kits do not reach, on the fastest timeline of the three.
The alignment bothers you: crowding, gaps, a tooth that turned. Clear aligners straighten discreetly, previewed on an iTero scan before you commit, over months rather than years for most adults.
Shape, proportion or deep discoloration that whitening cannot lift. Thin porcelain facings rebuild the front surface of the smile; the biggest commitment of the three, and the one we counsel most carefully.
Undecided between them? The veneers vs whitening guide weighs the real trade-offs, and a consultation costs you a conversation, not a commitment. Restorative needs discovered along the way, a crown that should come first, a filling hiding behind a stain, get folded into the plan in the right order.
Grounded
Both of the practice's dentists carry cosmetic work: Dr. Sarmadi's restorative-cosmetic pairing is where fillings vanish and smiles read as natural, and Dr. Sidhu's implant work anchors the cases where a missing tooth is part of the esthetic problem.
Three practice rules. Results shown here are real patients of this office, in the smile gallery, with written consent, never stock photography. Projections are labeled as projections. And pricing follows the standing rule: your insurance checked where it applies, the number in writing for the asking before scheduling, Cherry for larger plans, and no surprise line items mid-treatment. Cosmetic dentistry done this way tends to produce the practice's happiest reviews, because the result matches the conversation that preceded it.
Common questions
Start with the consultation, not a treatment: describe what bothers you when you see photos of yourself, and the exam plus scan will translate that into options, usually starting with the smallest change that would satisfy you. Whitening, alignment and veneers solve different problems, and naming your actual bother correctly is most of the plan. Call Grafton Smiles at (508) 839-6464.
Purely cosmetic treatment, whitening or veneers chosen for appearance, is generally not covered by dental insurance, while work with a clinical justification, a crown on a broken tooth or alignment that corrects a functional bite issue, often is in part; the line runs case by case. We check your plan when you share it, and can put your number in writing before anything is scheduled. Call Grafton Smiles at (508) 839-6464.
For alignment, the iTero scan shows your projected result before you begin; for veneers, shade and shape are agreed in detail and previewed before final placement; and for whitening, the realistic endpoint for your enamel is discussed honestly upfront rather than promised as a paint chip. The gallery on this site shows real patients of this office, which is the most honest preview of all. Call Grafton Smiles at (508) 839-6464.
That is exactly how it should be done: health first, esthetics sequenced after, in one plan with one timeline and one written cost, so a filling or gum treatment discovered at the exam strengthens the cosmetic result instead of surprising you mid-treatment. Both of the practice's dentists provide cosmetic work, so your whole plan lives with a team that already knows your mouth. Call Grafton Smiles at (508) 839-6464.
