What A Smile Makeover Can Address
How a Smile Makeover can address visible concerns and be tailored around your clinical needs.
Tooth Colour And Brightness
02
Professional teeth whitening may be used to lift shade and is often combined with other treatments where appropriate.
Shape And Minor Damage
03
Composite bonding or composite veneers can restore form and disguise small chips or irregularities in shape.
Porcelain Veneers
04
Porcelain veneers can alter tooth shape and symmetry, with preparation of natural tooth surfaces depending on the case.
Teeth Straightening Options
05
Teeth straightening, including SmileFast, can be included when tooth position affects appearance.
Gum Contouring
06
Gum contouring may be considered to improve proportions between teeth and gum where clinically appropriate.
Missing Or Restored Teeth
07
Crowns or bridges can be integrated into an aesthetic plan where missing or heavily restored teeth affect the smile.
Balance With Existing Dentistry
08
Planning takes account of existing crowns, bridges or restorations so new treatments integrate with current work.

Is A Smile Makeover Right For You?
Suitability for a Smile Makeover depends on a clinical assessment of your teeth, gums and bite together with your cosmetic goals; some patients require preparatory or alternative care before elective cosmetic work.
The exact mix of treatments, timing and staging is decided during planning so there is no single standard duration or fixed price; a consultation at our Ingatestone practice will let the team explain realistic options and likely steps for you.
