A smile makeover is not one procedure — it is a plan. It brings together the treatments needed to address several concerns at once, in the right order, so that the final result looks balanced and is built on healthy foundations.
Smile design is central to Dr. Paul’s work. He considers facial proportions, lip line, gum display, tooth shape and colour, and the way you speak and smile, to plan a result that suits you.
Who this treatment may suit
- Patients with multiple cosmetic concerns, such as discolouration plus chipped or uneven teeth
- People with worn teeth or old restorations across the smile
- Adults who want a coordinated plan rather than piecemeal treatment
Common concerns it addresses
- A smile that looks aged or worn
- Mismatched crowns and fillings
- Gaps, chips and uneven edges
- A “gummy” or asymmetrical smile line
Suitability can only be confirmed after a clinical examination.
How smile makeover works
Planning uses photographs, scans and sometimes a trial “mock-up”, allowing you to preview proposed tooth shapes before irreversible work begins.
Treatment is staged: health first (decay, gums), then tooth position if needed, then colour, and finally restorations such as veneers or crowns.
Consultation and assessment
Your first visit is a detailed conversation and examination. Dr. Paul will explain what is achievable, in what sequence, roughly how long it would take, and which parts are optional — so you can make an informed choice.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a smile makeover take?
It depends on the treatments involved — from a few weeks for whitening and veneers to many months if alignment is included.
Can I see my new smile before treatment?
In many cases a trial mock-up can be placed over your teeth so you can see and feel the proposed shapes.
