Tooth colour
Tea, coffee, tobacco and natural colour variation can change how teeth look. Whitening cannot correct every cause of discolouration.

Smile Enhancement & Cosmetic Dentistry
The finer details of a smile.
A change in tooth colour, a chipped edge or uneven proportions can make you look twice at your smile. The right choice depends on what is causing the concern, the condition of your teeth and how much change you actually want.
At Nivani Aesthetics Clinic in Malad West, Dr. Mayank Garg discusses cosmetic dental options after assessing oral health, bite and expectations.
What would you like to change?
Teeth can appear darker because of surface stains or changes within the tooth. Chips and gaps raise different questions. A dental examination helps distinguish a cosmetic preference from something requiring treatment first.
Chipped edges or shape
A minor chip may have several possible restorative options. Bite forces and tooth structure affect what is appropriate.
Proportion and harmony
A smile makeover may involve an agreed combination of dental procedures. It needs a clear diagnosis and a plan that respects healthy tooth tissue.
Approved dental treatments at Nivani:
Teeth Whitening
Dentist-supervised whitening may be discussed for suitable natural teeth affected by some stains. Existing crowns, veneers and fillings do not change colour with bleaching.
Dental Veneers
Custom coverings can alter the visible surfaces of selected teeth. Some veneer approaches require permanent enamel removal, and maintenance or replacement may be needed.
Smile Makeovers
A coordinated plan may address tooth colour, shape or spacing. The proposed procedures, any tooth preparation and the limits of the result should be explained before treatment.
A smile plan should protect healthy teeth.
Examine before changing
Untreated cavities, gum inflammation, tooth sensitivity and bite problems deserve attention before cosmetic work.
Understand what is permanent
Veneer preparation may be irreversible. Whitening can cause temporary sensitivity. Ask about alternatives and future maintenance.

Frequently asked questions
Can whitening change the colour of crowns or veneers?
No. Whitening affects natural teeth but does not lighten existing crowns, veneers or fillings.
Will whitening work for every stain?
No. The cause of discolouration matters. Some deeper or grey-toned changes may respond poorly and need a different assessment.
Do dental veneers damage teeth?
Some veneer techniques involve removing enamel and are irreversible. Your dentist should explain the amount of preparation and alternatives.
Are veneers the same as crowns?
No. A veneer usually covers the visible front of a tooth, while a crown surrounds more of its structure.
Can veneers chip or become loose?
Yes. Veneers may chip, wear or debond and sometimes need repair or replacement.
What happens during a smile makeover consultation?
The dentist reviews tooth health, bite, the change you want and which procedures, if any, are suitable.
Should I fix gum problems before cosmetic treatment?
Yes. Active dental or gum disease generally needs assessment and care before elective cosmetic procedures.
