Why Choose Vitacare Dental Centre for Cosmetic Dentistry
"My whole family recently started going to Vitacare and all I can say is they are great! I have never had such good and pain free care. 100% recommend Dr. Lee."
— Shelby, 5-Star Review
Dr. Vanessa Lee, Award-Winning Prosthodontist
Dr. Vanessa Lee is an award-winning prosthodontist, the post-doctoral specialty for aesthetic and full-arch restoration. The prosthodontist credential is the threshold standard for serious cosmetic work, and the depth of training matters most when a treatment plan combines veneers, crowns, and bonding into a single coordinated outcome. Dr. Alex Wong rounds out the practice as a general dentist in Coquitlam, BC, providing the patient-relationship continuity that keeps cosmetic work coordinated with your routine care.
A Caring, Multilingual Team
The team at Vitacare Dental Centre speaks Korean, Farsi, Mandarin, Cantonese, Vietnamese, Italian, Russian, Bulgarian, and Sign Language. For a cosmetic dentistry consultation, where the conversation runs through expectations, materials, financing, and post-treatment care, the ability to talk through every detail in the language you are most comfortable in is not a courtesy. It is the difference between a treatment plan you understand and a treatment plan you only think you understand.
iTero 3D Previews and Premium Materials
Vitacare Dental Centre uses iTero digital scanning to give you a 3D preview of your cosmetic outcome before any work is done. Mock wax-ups, photos, and 3D modeling support the same expectation-management process, so you can see and approve the endpoint before you commit. For the restorations themselves, our partner labs work in e.max porcelain for the right combination of durability and natural tooth-like translucency.

What Cosmetic Dentistry Costs at Vitacare Dental Centre
Cost is the most common reason patients don't pursue cosmetic dentistry. Vitacare Dental Centre's take on cost is rare: a cosmetic dentistry treatment plan is too individualized to fit a price range. A single bonding repair might be a few hundred dollars, while a full smile makeover involving veneers, crowns, and orthodontics for the same patient can run into the tens of thousands. There is no useful number to put on the page until we have actually examined your teeth and talked through what you want.
What we can promise is the process. A thorough cosmetic consultation includes a full examination, clear explanation of options and trade-offs, and a collaborative decision on what the endpoint of treatment should look like. From that endpoint, we work backwards to the most efficient combination of procedures that gets you there, which often saves significant time and money compared to standalone treatments.
We accept most insurance plans, and in certain cases we can discuss payment plans for the out-of-pocket portion. iTero 3D previews, photos, and mock wax-ups let you see and approve the projected result before committing, so the financial decision is made with a clear picture of what you are buying.
The Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures We Offer in Coquitlam
Dental Bonding
This minimally invasive procedure involves the application of composite resin to the affected areas to conceal minor imperfections such as small chips, cracks, gaps, or discoloration. Dental bonding can typically be completed in a single visit.
Porcelain Veneers
Like dental bonding, porcelain veneers can alter the size and shape of the teeth. Each veneer is custom-made and bonded to the front surface of the tooth for a natural-looking, translucent result that resists staining better than bonded composite.
Invisalign
Straighter teeth are not only more attractive, they are also easier to clean. Invisalign® is a popular orthodontic option that uses discreet, more comfortable, and removable clear aligners instead of traditional metal braces.
Teeth Whitening
Extrinsic dental stains, the discoloration caused by dark-colored foods and beverages, can be addressed with professional teeth whitening to lighten natural tooth enamel by several shades beyond what at-home products can achieve.
Smile Makeover
If you have multiple cosmetic issues, a smile makeover is an excellent solution. This treatment plan is custom-designed to meet your unique needs and may combine veneers, bonding, whitening, and Invisalign into a single coordinated outcome.
Conditions Treated By Cosmetic Dentistry
Chips or Cracks
Chips, cracks, or craze lines can affect the symmetry of your smile. A cosmetic dentist can conceal or fill in these flaws to enhance the appearance of your teeth.
Dental Discoloration
Dental stains can make you feel self-conscious. There are two types of dental discoloration: extrinsic and intrinsic. Cosmetic dentistry can address both, dramatically whitening your smile.
Orthodontic Misalignment
Crooked, overlapped, or gapped teeth affect the appearance of your mouth, and they can have a negative impact on oral function and health. Cosmetic treatments can address these issues.
Dental Erosion
Patients who suffer from bruxism, also known as chronic teeth grinding or clenching, can sustain dental damage. The constant pressure can cause the enamel to wear down. A cosmetic dentist can address these issues.
Gummy Smile
Excess gum tissue can cover the crowns of the teeth, throwing off the balance of your smile. A dentist can eliminate excess tissue and reshape the gums to improve the overall aesthetics of your face and smile.
Misshapen Teeth
Some of the teeth may appear small or misshapen. Cosmetic procedures can alter the length, width, and shape of the teeth to produce a more balanced and proportionate appearance.
Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry
Enhanced Appearance
The most obvious benefit of aesthetic dental treatment is that it allows cosmetic dentists to improve the balance, beauty, and symmetry of your smile. These options can also reduce the signs of aging by giving you a more youthful appearance.
Improved Confidence
When you look your best, you feel your best. Because cosmetic dentistry procedures can dramatically improve the appearance of your smile, they can also give you a boost in confidence and self-esteem.
Motivation for Better Oral Health
While cosmetic treatments do not directly impact oral health, they often encourage patients to take better care of their teeth and gums. When you have an attractive smile, you want to maintain it.
Am I a Candidate for
Cosmetic Dentistry?
To qualify for any type of cosmetic procedure, you must:
Be in Good Oral Health
Patients should not have severe decay, gum disease, or any other condition that could affect their oral health. If restorative procedures can be performed first to bring the mouth back to a healthy baseline, the cosmetic treatment plan can begin afterwards.
Have Realistic Expectations
Individuals should have a thorough understanding of their treatment plan and realistic expectations of the results that can be achieved. Our iTero 3D previews, photos, and mock wax-ups are designed specifically to align expectations with what cosmetic dentistry can actually deliver for your specific anatomy.
We Use Advanced Technology to Deliver High-Quality Treatment
Before you undergo any treatment, our dentists will take note of your goals for your smile and create a personalized plan that gets you there. Vitacare Dental Centre in Coquitlam, BC, can give patients a detailed preview of their results thanks to our state-of-the-art iTero digital scanning technology. There is nothing like being able to see and feel the results you can expect to achieve before committing to a course of treatment.
