A smile plan in writing before anything changes
Brightline is a cosmetic dentistry studio for whitening, bonding, veneers and clear aligners. Every treatment starts with a smile consultation: a health check, photographs, a digital scan and a written plan with each option and its fee, including the option to do less.

Four treatments, one consultation
Most smiles need less than people expect. The dentist recommends the least invasive option that meets your goal, and explains what each one can and cannot do.
Composite bonding
per tooth, from$240
- Tooth coloured resin shaped by hand
- Chips, small gaps and uneven edges
- Can be polished, repaired or removed
Porcelain veneers
per tooth, from$1,100
- A temporary mock up before any change
- A thin layer of enamel removed for good
- Colour that holds over the years
Clear aligners
full course, from$3,200
- Removable trays changed every few weeks
- Check ins every eight weeks
- First retainers included
Fees are illustrative and confirmed in your written plan. Whitening lightens natural teeth only, so existing crowns, fillings and veneers keep their current shade.
What the smile consultation covers
Cosmetic work only goes ahead on a healthy mouth, so the dentist checks gums, fillings and any decay first, and treats those before anything cosmetic. Then come photographs, a digital scan and a shade reading in daylight, and a conversation about what you would like to change and why.
You see the options side by side, including the smallest change that would help. Every treatment carries risks the dentist explains, such as sensitivity after whitening, chipping of bonding or the permanent loss of enamel under veneers, and they are written into your plan beside the fees.
- Consultation $85, taken off any treatment you choose
- Written plan within five working days
- Options that keep the most natural tooth come first
- Nobody expects a decision on the day
Choosing between treatments
Three questions the dentist hears at almost every consultation, answered before you arrive.
Whiten first, then match
Fillings and crowns do not whiten, so whitening usually comes before any bonding or veneers, which are then matched to the new shade.
Bonding or porcelain
Bonding keeps almost all of the tooth and can be undone, but it stains and chips more easily. Porcelain keeps its colour longer, but the enamel removed under it is gone for good.
Straighten before covering
When crowding is the problem, aligners can move teeth into line so that less covering, or none at all, is needed afterwards.
How a veneer plan unfolds
Four visits over about five weeks for most veneer cases, with nothing permanent done until you have seen the trial smile.
Consultation and scan
Health check, photographs, a shade reading and a digital scan, followed by a written plan.
Trial smile
A temporary mock up placed over your own teeth, so you judge the shape before anything changes.
Preparation
A thin layer of enamel is removed under local anaesthetic, and temporary veneers protect the teeth.
Fitting and review (example reviews)
The finished veneers are bonded in place, and a review two weeks later checks the bite and gums.
Fees and payment plans
Guide fees for the treatments people ask about most. Plans over $1,000 can be spread across 6 or 12 monthly payments, with no interest added by the studio.

Around the studio
Two treatment rooms on the ground floor, both with daylight for matching shades.
Patients after their plans (example reviews)
Came in asking for veneers and left with a plan for whitening and two bonded edges. Cheaper, and every tooth kept as it was.
Seeing the trial smile before any enamel was touched made the decision easy. The final bill matched the written plan to the dollar.
Spreading the aligner fee over twelve months made treatment possible, and the check ins always started on time.
Questions about cosmetic treatment
Does whitening hurt?
Some people feel sensitivity during the weeks of whitening, which usually settles when it ends. The dentist checks for causes such as gum recession first, and can change the gel strength or the wearing time. Rules on whitening strength, and on who may provide it, vary by country.
How long do results last?
Whitening fades gradually and can be topped up. Bonding may need polishing or repair after some years, and porcelain veneers will one day need replacing. No cosmetic treatment is permanent, and how long it lasts depends on care, habits and your own teeth.
Will the studio show photos of past patients?
Yes, at the consultation, from patients who agreed to share them. Every mouth is different, so the photos show what was possible for someone else rather than what you should expect.
Who carries out the treatment?
A registered dentist plans and carries out every treatment, supported by dental nurses. Registration, and the rules on how dentists may advertise, vary by country, so ask to see the registration details of anyone treating you.
Is a payment plan a loan?
No. It is an agreement with the studio to pay in equal monthly parts after a deposit, with no interest added, set out in writing before treatment starts and paid directly to the studio.
What if a tooth hurts after treatment?
Call the studio during opening hours and we will see you as soon as we can. If the face or neck swells, or breathing or swallowing becomes hard, do not wait for the studio; ring your local emergency number.
