Is A Smile Makeover Right For You?
A Smile Makeover is not one single procedure but a personalised plan that may include one or several cosmetic treatments chosen to meet your goals. Suitability depends on your oral health, the condition of teeth and gums, your bite and any existing restorations.
Some options, such as veneers, can involve preparation of the natural tooth surface depending on the case and veneer type; other options, such as composite bonding or whitening, have different preparation, timing and maintenance needs.
If we identify oral‑health or bite concerns during assessment, we may recommend preparatory or alternative care before elective cosmetic treatment proceeds. Timelines and costs vary by the chosen combination of treatments and are explained after assessment.
