01
Consultation And Smile Assessment
A detailed discussion of your goals, medical and dental history and a clinical examination to assess suitability for cosmetic treatments.
02
Records And Smile Planning
Photographs and records support a tailored plan and help explain options and likely stages without promising an exact visual preview.
03
Discussing Suitable Treatment Options
The dentist will outline which approved options may suit you and why, noting that not every option is needed in every case.
04
Preparatory Or Related Care If Needed
Any oral-health or bite concerns will be reviewed and preparatory or alternative care may be discussed before elective cosmetic work proceeds.
05
Phased Smile Makeover Treatment
Treatments may be delivered in stages; the sequence and number of appointments depend on the options selected and individual plan.
06
Review And Aftercare
Follow-up, maintenance and review schedules depend on the treatments provided and will be explained as part of your plan.
Is A Smile Makeover Right For You?
Deciding whether a Smile Makeover is right for you starts with a clinical assessment and an honest discussion of your goals. Suitability depends on the health of your teeth, gums and bite and on any existing restorations.
Different treatments involve different preparation, timing and maintenance: whitening is typically quicker but needs periodic top-ups, while veneers or orthodontic work require more planning and staged appointments. Your dentist will explain likely stages, maintenance and reviews once a personalised plan is agreed.
