What is smile design?
A smile makeover is rarely a single treatment. Smile design brings everything together into one plan: tooth proportions, the curve of your smile, the relationship with your lips, gum levels and colour. Every detail is mapped and customised, and you see the planned result before we begin — which makes decisions easier and outcomes more predictable.
Who may need it?
- Multiple cosmetic concerns (colour, shape, gaps, alignment)
- Worn or uneven smiles
- Patients who want to see their result before committing

Frequently asked questions
Can I see my new smile before treatment?
Yes. Digital smile design and a trial mock-up allow you to preview the planned shape and proportions before any irreversible step.
How long does a smile makeover take?
Simple makeovers using whitening and bonding can be completed within weeks. Makeovers involving aligners or multiple restorations can take several months.
Is smile design only for veneers?
No. Smile design plans the end result first, then chooses the most conservative combination of treatments to achieve it.
