Is A Smile Makeover Right For You?
A Smile Makeover may suit adults who want cosmetic improvement and have realistic expectations about staged care based on assessment. Suitability depends on the condition of teeth, gums and bite, any existing dental work, and the specific goals you set with the clinician.
Some patients need only one conservative treatment such as whitening or bonding, while others require a combination of treatments that will be scheduled according to the personalised plan; preparatory care may be needed where medical or functional issues are present.

Frequently Asked Questions
A Smile Makeover is a personalised plan combining one or more cosmetic treatments to meet your goals; it is not a single standard procedure. The mix of options depends on your assessment, oral health and the clinician’s planning; one treatment may be sufficient or several staged treatments may be recommended.
Costs are determined by the chosen combination of treatments, case complexity and any preparatory care required; a detailed cost estimate is provided after in-practice assessment and planning so you understand the likely total before treatment starts.
Yes. Start Smiling is based in Ingatestone and can accept private patients from Romford; we offer virtual consultations to outline options and produce a documented staged plan, with in-practice assessment and treatment carried out at our Ingatestone clinic.
Depending on assessment and goals, options may include professional teeth whitening, composite bonding or composite veneers, porcelain veneers, teeth straightening or SmileFast, crowns or bridges, and gum contouring. Not every option is appropriate for every patient.
There is no single fixed duration; timing depends on the selected treatments and case complexity. Some cosmetic changes may be achieved in a few appointments, while multi-stage plans involving straightening or staged restorations will take longer and are scheduled according to the documented plan.
A virtual consultation lets the clinician review your concerns, discuss likely options and provide an initial plan so you can make an informed decision before attending for in-practice records and full treatment planning, reducing uncertainty about suitable approaches and next steps.
