Photographs and clinical records help form a personalised plan and guide sequencing of any treatments.

04
Preparatory Or Related Care If Needed
Any oral-health or bite matters are considered and preparatory or alternative care may be discussed before elective cosmetic treatment.
05
Phased Smile Makeover Treatment
Treatments proceed in stages tailored to your plan and preferences, with timing depending on the options chosen.
06
Review And Aftercare
Scheduled reviews and maintenance guidance are provided after each phase, varying by the treatments received.
Is A Smile Makeover Right For You?
A Smile Makeover may suit adults wanting cosmetic improvement, but suitability depends on a clinical assessment of teeth, gums and bite together with your goals and any existing dental work.
Different component treatments have different preparation, timing and maintenance requirements; for example, composite bonding and whitening differ from veneers or teeth straightening in how they are planned and reviewed.
Start Smiling will explain likely sequencing, potential benefits and ongoing review for your individual case, and will discuss preparatory or alternative care if this is needed before elective cosmetic treatment.
