What it's like to live with
The biggest fear with a smile makeover is simple: what if I don't like how it looks, and it can't be undone?
The question that mattered
How do you agree on the final shape before anything permanent happens?
What we looked at
The worn, chipped lower front teeth, the gap between them, and how the upper and lower teeth meet.
What we decided, and why
Design the new teeth first and print them as a trial smile, so the look and the bite are agreed before any tooth is prepared.
What we did
The trial smile was printed. Then the lower front teeth were prepared and rebuilt to match it, and the colour was checked against a shade guide. From the first photos to the final teeth took about two and a half weeks.
What you see now
Even, full-length front teeth that meet properly when biting.
What this means for you
Before any smile work, anywhere, ask to see it first, on a printed trial or a mock-up. You should never have to guess.
Every mouth is different. Your plan depends on your own check-up.
These photos were taken during surgery. Some show blood.
Questions people ask
Can I see my new smile before treatment?
Yes, as a 3D-printed trial or a mock-up.
What if I don't like the trial?
It's changed before anything permanent is done. That's the point of it.
How long does it take?
In this case, about two and a half weeks from the first photos to the final teeth. Yours depends on how many teeth are involved.
