Is A Smile Makeover Right For You?
Suitability for a Smile Makeover depends on your individual assessment. Your clinician will review teeth, gums, bite and existing restorations before recommending whether cosmetic options are appropriate for you.
Options range from more conservative approaches, such as whitening combined with composite bonding, to more involved combinations like porcelain veneers or orthodontic and restorative care. Each choice affects preparation, timing and ongoing maintenance in different ways.
If you have oral health or bite issues, these may be managed before elective cosmetic work. A personalised plan and clear discussion of likely stages and care will help you weigh the trade offs between different approaches.
