Smile Makeover
Research has shown that a beautiful smile will make you appear more intelligent, interesting, successful, and wealthy to others as well. That is why smile makeover is popular in dentistry.
Surprisingly, a significant number of people lack confidence when it comes to smiling in photographs, with a staggering 76% admitting to this. Moreover, nearly half of the population, 48% form judgments about individuals based on the look of their smiles. The psychological benefits of a captivating smile are evident, as 77% of people believe it positively affects their mental well-being. Additionally, smiles are known to play a role in romantic relationships, with 67% of people acknowledging their influence.
A Smile Makeover can take as little as two visits to complete. The procedure starts with a comprehensive smile analysis after which together with our Cosmetic Dentist, a plan is designed to achieve the most beautiful, natural-looking smile for you. Often this will involve crafting an individual plan.

Components of designing your perfect smile
- 5Face shape: The shape of your face will affect the chosen shape of the teeth. If your face is round, we would create long, square-shaped teeth that will ultimately have a slimming effect on your face. If you are concerned about lines, we can minimize wrinkles by building out the veneers, providing more support for the skin and so reducing the lines.
- 5Tooth size: Longer teeth are synonymous with youth, whereas older teeth are shorter because of years of wear and tear. For a more youthful appearance, veneers are made longer creating the appearance of a younger face.
- 5Skin tone: Your new smile should not be obvious, it should blend in with your face, just enhancing your natural good looks! For this reason, we consider your skin tone in deciding the final colour of your smile during a smile makeover. If you have fair skin, for example, we would choose a much lighter colour of veneers to show a natural contrast. This is part of the skill and artistry of our Cosmetic Dental experts.

A smile makeover is creating the ideal smile for somebody, using certain principles about the shape and the size and length of teeth, to create a smile that’s in harmony with their face, with their lifestyle and just make them look and feel great.
A smile makeover should be unique and individual to each person, whether it’s changing silver fillings to white fillings, giving somebody teeth whitening, right through to full mouth reconstruction, giving implants, veneers, crowns, basically whatever it takes to give you the perfect smile you deserve.
For most of my clients, a smile makeover results in a radical change in their confidence and their lifestyle. If you’re used to constantly putting your head down or covering your mouth with your hands, and suddenly you’ve got a fabulous smile, it makes such a difference. And whether we like it or not, first impressions count and a great smile seriously make a difference.
The most common worry is that it’s going to look fake, and I completely agree. It can look fake, but that’s where the experience comes in. As much as I want everyone to admire the work I’ve done, my job has been well done if people can’t tell you’ve been done if they’re looking at you and they’re thinking “Have you changed your hairstyle, lost some weight?”. I don’t want them to say “ohh great teeth!”
A smile makeover is an investment. One of my clients describes it as choosing between buying a new car or a new smile. He was wise, he chose the smile. But basically, we’ve got payment plans to make it affordable, just as you would if you were buying a car. It’s such a worthwhile investment in yourself.
If you were to ask any of my clients, “Was it worth it”, every single one of them would say yes. In fact, the usual response is “Why did I wait so long”.
To see the transformations in people after it’s been done, the change in their confidence, their energy, it’s just amazing. I just love my job!”
