Preparatory Or Related Care If Needed
If oral-health or bite issues require attention, preparatory or alternative care may be discussed before elective cosmetic treatment proceeds.

Phased Smile Makeover Treatment
Treatments are scheduled in the order agreed in your plan; the number and timing of appointments depend on the selected options.
06
Review And Aftercare
Follow-up appointments and maintenance needs are set out according to the specific treatments you receive.
Is A Smile Makeover Right For You?
Suitability for a Smile Makeover depends on your individual goals, current oral health and the findings of a clinical assessment. Some people need only one treatment, others benefit from a combination chosen to address shape, colour and alignment.
If there are active health issues such as gum disease or notable bite concerns, the dentist will normally address these first or include them in an alternative plan before elective cosmetic work.
Your dentist will explain likely timelines, stages and maintenance requirements during the planning process so you can make a shared decision that fits your priorities and circumstances.
