What Is Smile Makeovers?
A smile makeover is a comprehensive, individualised treatment plan that combines two or more cosmetic dentistry procedures to completely transform the appearance of your smile. Unlike a single treatment, a smile makeover addresses multiple concerns - colour, shape, alignment, spacing, and proportion - in a coordinated, aesthetic plan.
Dr. Ashni Shah, an Advanced Cosmetic Dentist, uses digital smile design to visualise your result before any treatment begins. Each makeover plan is unique, built around your facial features, skin tone, and personal goals.
When Do You Need It?
A smile makeover is ideal if you are unhappy with:
Discoloured, stained, or yellowed teeth
Chipped, cracked, or misshapen teeth
Gaps or spacing issues
Short, worn, or uneven teeth
Gummy smile or uneven gumline
Old, discoloured fillings or crowns visible when you smile
The Procedure - Step by Step
A detailed smile consultation: you describe your concerns and goals; Dr. Ashni Shah evaluates your teeth, gums, facial symmetry, and bite.
Digital Smile Design (DSD): a visual preview of your potential result is created.
A personalised treatment plan is presented outlining the recommended combination of procedures.
Treatments are sequenced in the correct clinical order (e.g., gum contouring before veneers, whitening before restorations).
Each component procedure is completed with precision and artistry.
Final review and polishing to ensure your new smile meets the agreed design.
