Smile makeovers in Twickenham
A plan for the whole smile, not one tooth.
A smile makeover is not a single treatment. It is a sequence — usually some combination of alignment, whitening, bonding, veneers and gum work — planned in the right order so each stage supports the next and nothing is done twice.

When smile makeover is the right answer
If something simpler or less expensive would serve you better, that is what we will recommend at the consultation — and we will show you the fees for both.
- Several things you would change, not just one
- Crowding as well as colour or shape
- Old dentistry that no longer matches
- Worn edges from grinding
- A milestone you would like to look your best for
- Wanting one plan rather than piecemeal treatment

How to choose a cosmetic dentist
There is no such thing as a registered specialist in cosmetic dentistry in the UK. Here is what to look at instead.

Two treatments, one aim, very different commitments. The deciding factor is rarely the look — it is how much tooth has to be given up.

Smile makeover, answered honestly
How long does a smile makeover take?
Anywhere from a few weeks for whitening and bonding, to twelve months or more when alignment is part of the plan. The consultation gives you a realistic timeline for your case.
Do I have to do everything at once?
No. Most patients stage treatment over months or years, and a good plan is written so it can be paused between stages without wasting what has already been done.
Will it look obvious?
It should not. The aim is a smile that suits your face and age — people notice that you look well, not that you have had dentistry.
