What to Expect: Step-by-Step
1. Smile Analysis and Goal Setting
We take high-resolution photos, digital scans and (if needed) 3-D X-rays. You’ll tell us what you love, like and dislike about your current smile, and together we set clear objectives: Brighter shade? Broader arch? No more gummy grin?
2. Digital Design and Preview
Using CAD/CAM software, we create a virtual mock-up showing proposed tooth length, shape and colour. For larger projects, we craft a 'trial smile' you can wear at home to test-drive the look and feel.
3. Health Foundation First
Any decay, gum disease or bite issues are corrected early—like deep cleans, small fillings or night-guard planning—so aesthetic work rests on stable ground.
4. Phased Treatment Schedule
Typical order:
- Whitening to set the base shade
- Orthodontics or aligners (if needed) 3–9 months
- Tooth bonding, veneers or crowns for shape and symmetry
- Gum contouring or implant placement as required
We coordinate visits to minimise downtime; many patients see dramatic change after the very first phase.
5. Final Fit and Fine-Tuning
Once all restorations are placed, we refine bite contacts, polish surfaces and take “after” photos so you can see the total transformation.
6. Maintenance and Warranty
You receive a personalised care pack: nightguard (if you clench), whitening trays for future touch-ups and a recall schedule. With proper hygiene and six-monthly reviews, veneers and crowns often last 15 years or more.
