Smile makeover at Smile Dental: step‑by‑step

  1. Consult and goal setting (what you want, what you don’t want)
  2. iTero Lumina scan (radiation‑free) for clear visibility and planning
  3. Smile design plan (least invasive option first, with alternatives)
  4. Phase 1 (if needed): foundation work (cleaning, gum stabilisation, minor repairs)
  5. Phase 2: alignment or reshaping (aligners, bonding, veneers, gum correction)
  6. Finishing touches (shade balance, edge refinement, bite checks)
  7. Retention and maintenance plan (so the result stays natural and stable)

Why smile makeover pricing varies

A makeover is priced based on what you actually need, not a fixed package.

Key drivers include:

  • Number of teeth involved
  • Type of solution (whitening vs bonding vs veneers vs aligners)
  • Gum line correction needs
  • Bite stability and whether alignment is needed first
  • Material choices and finishing detail requirements

The “mega mean mouse” (why shortcuts cause regret)

The fastest path is not always the best path. Most “fake” or short-lived results happen when:

  • alignment problems are covered instead of corrected
  • bite forces are ignored
  • gums are inflamed and the smile line changes later
  • the shade is chosen without considering natural texture and translucency

Our job is to prevent that regret.

Aftercare that protects results

  • Maintain cleaning and gum health (it affects how your smile looks over time)
  • If you grind/clench, use protection (this is a common reason cosmetic work fails early)
  • Follow retention guidance after aligners (if part of your plan)
  • Keep checkups, small adjustments early prevent bigger changes later

Q: What treatments are included in a smile makeover?
A: It depends on your goal. It may include whitening, bonding, veneers, aligners, and gum correction, chosen based on what gives the most natural and stable result.

Q: How do you avoid the “fake” look?
A: We plan around facial harmony, natural shade, tooth proportions, gum line, and bite stability. We also start with the least invasive option that works.

Q: Do I need veneers for a smile makeover?
A: Not always. Many cases improve with whitening, bonding, or aligners. Veneers are for cases where smaller options won’t create the result you want.

Q: Should I do Invisalign before veneers?
A: Sometimes yes. If alignment is the main issue, aligners can help you avoid unnecessary tooth reduction and improve long-term stability.

Q: Will iTero scan replace X‑rays?
A: The iTero scan is radiation‑free and gives clear visibility for planning and explaining. X‑rays are used only when clinically needed.

Q: How long does a smile makeover take?
A: Some are quick (one or two visits). Others are phased to protect bite stability and long-term results.

Q: Is it painful?
A: Most cosmetic steps are comfortable. If sensitivity is expected, we plan around it.

A smile makeover is usually a good fit if…

  • You want a natural-looking improvement (not a “fake white smile”)
  • You’re unhappy with colour, shape, spacing, edges, or gum line
  • You want a plan that considers your face and bite, not just front teeth photos
  • You want clarity before committing, with visuals you can understand
  • You prefer conservative changes where possible, and durable changes when needed

We may recommend a different approach if…

  • You have active gum disease or untreated decay (foundation comes first)
  • You have heavy grinding/clenching and don’t want protection planning
  • Your bite is unstable, multiple teeth are failing, or chewing is uncomfortable (Full Mouth Reconstruction may be more appropriate)
  • You want a dramatic “instant” change but don’t want to follow a phased plan

What most people want to know upfront

  • Will it look natural? Yes, if planned well. Natural is a design choice, not luck.
  • Will you push veneers? No. We start with least invasive options.
  • How long does it take? Some makeovers are quick, others are phased for better results.
  • Do I need Invisalign first? Sometimes. If alignment is the root issue, aligners protect the final aesthetic result.
  • Will it hurt? Most cosmetic steps are comfortable. We plan around sensitivity where relevant.

What a smile makeover actually is

A smile makeover is not one treatment. It’s a plan. The goal is to improve the look of your smile while keeping it natural, comfortable, and stable.

Depending on what you need, a makeover can include:

  • Whitening (for colour)
  • Bonding (for small chips, edges, minor gaps)
  • Veneers (for shape, colour, and symmetry when you need a bigger change)
  • Clear aligners (if alignment is the real issue)
  • Gum correction (if gum line is the problem)

The Smile Dental difference: “Natural” is designed, not guessed

A premium smile looks natural when:

  • Teeth shape suits your face (not copy‑paste)
  • Colour looks real in daylight (not too white, not flat)
  • The bite is stable (so the smile lasts)
  • The gum line supports the teeth nicely

Dr. Rajesh’s work as a facial orthopedist and orthodontist adds an extra layer here: we don’t just “make teeth straight,” we look at how teeth, bite, and facial balance work together.

Least invasive first (how we avoid the fake look)

Our rule is simple: start with the least invasive option that can achieve the goal. For example:

  • If the main issue is colour, we don’t jump to veneers
  • If the main issue is alignment, aligners often come before any cosmetic reshaping
  • If the issue is tiny chips or edges, bonding may be enough
  • Veneers are for cases where smaller options won’t create a stable, natural result

What happens if you delay (the honest answer)

Cosmetic issues can wait. But structural and bite issues usually don’t. If your teeth are wearing down, cracking, or your bite feels unstable, it can become harder to keep results long-term. In those cases, we may recommend a functional plan (Full Mouth Reconstruction) instead of purely cosmetic changes.

If your teeth are wearing down, breaking often, or chewing feels uncomfortable, you may need a function-first plan — Full Mouth Reconstruction — before cosmetic changes.
