Smile designing is a personalised cosmetic plan that looks at your whole face: your lips, gum line, facial proportions, and skin tone, and then designs teeth that suit you perfectly.
Using digital smile design software, we can show you what your new smile will look like before any treatment starts, so there are no surprises.
What does smile designing involve?
A smile makeover usually combines several treatments. Depending on your needs, your plan might include:
- ✓Porcelain veneers or composite bonding to reshape and brighten teeth
- ✓Teeth whitening for an even, brighter shade
- ✓Gum contouring to correct a gummy smile or uneven gum line
- ✓Crowns, bridges, or implants to replace damaged or missing teeth
- ✓Short-term orthodontics to straighten slightly crooked teeth
Who is it for?
Smile designing is ideal if you are unhappy with the shape, size, colour, or spacing of your teeth, or if you have chipped, worn, or discoloured teeth that make you hide your smile in photos.
Caring for your new smile
Veneers and bonding need the same care as natural teeth: brush twice a day, floss daily, and visit us regularly. Avoid biting very hard objects like ice or pen caps, and wear a night guard if you grind your teeth.

Frequently asked questions
Will my teeth look fake?
No. The whole point of smile design is to create teeth that suit your face. We match shape and shade to look natural, not artificial.
How long do veneers last?
Porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 15 years or longer with good care. Composite veneers last around 5 to 7 years and can be repaired easily.
Is the treatment reversible?
Some options like composite bonding are minimally invasive. Porcelain veneers usually need a thin layer of enamel removed, so we discuss this carefully before starting.
