We can then start the exciting bit, planning your new smile!

About smile makeovers
A smile makeover is achieved using a collection of dental treatments of your choosing. No two smile makeovers are ever the same because all our clients have different ideas and needs. The aim of a smile makeover is to take your dreams and make them a reality using the best services on offer. We can provide restorative, cosmetic and orthodontic treatments to eliminate and address problems from a gummy smile and crooked teeth to staining, gaps between the teeth and missing teeth.
Our most popular smile makeover treatments include porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, cosmetic bonding, white fillings, porcelain crowns, gum and tooth contouring and cosmetic braces.
Often, the treatments you choose will depend on your needs and what you want from your smile makeover. If you have stained and chipped teeth, your makeover will be very different to somebody who has missing teeth or orthodontic problems and our dentists will work with you to determine what needs to be done and which treatments will be best to achieve your goal.
How long does a smile makeover take?
Smile makeovers can take anything from a few days to several months, depending on the list of treatments you choose. Once you have ascertained the components of the makeover, your dentist will be able to give you a very accurate prediction of the treatment time.
The renowned philosopher and logician Bertrand Russell once quipped that ‘everything is vague to a degree you do not realise till you have tried to make it precise.’ Despite how familiar and simple sounding a ‘smile makeover’ is, it is precisely Russell’s observation we encounter when trying to define it. In essence, a smile makeover is defined by its end result: You have achieved, by whatever procedures were necessary, the smile you desired. It is an umbrella term for a variety of treatments, all of which end with that. If you’re preparing for a wedding, however, semantics aren’t really first and foremost in your mind, so rest easy dear reader; We at Clifton Dental Studio in Bristol will utilise our expertise to its fullest extent in order to make your desired smile a reality, all you have to do is tell us what you’d want it to look like!
The consultation
Although it will be approached in a relaxed manner, this is perhaps the most significant portion of the treatment as it is where we find out what you want. We are the professionals, however, so don’t worry – we will guide you through and find solutions to any problems that may arise!
Typical treatments: focus on dental veneers
One recommended treatment very popular with celebrities is the application of dental veneers. Veneers are wafer thin shells of material which can be fitted to your teeth, thus covering up any ornamental atrocities or decorative detractions which you may worry are on your teeth. Veneers only require two sessions to be fitted, though it can take a few weeks for the final product to be produced in a lab. In the meantime, you may be fitted with temporary veneers. They are great at covering cracks, chips and stains. Although not ideal, they can also cover upper mildly crooked teeth in a treatment nicknamed ‘instant orthodontics’, thus bypassing lengthy orthodontic treatment.
The total package
A complete smile makeover, in the case of front teeth too crooked for veneers alone, could combine orthodontics with veneers. Equally, you could have a dental implant fitted and your healthy teeth whitened. It’s up to you! Let us know your dream smile and we’ll make it a reality.
If you’re not happy with your smile, you don’t have to put up with hiding it in public and resigning yourself to the back row of photographs.

One of the first things you notice about someone you’ve just met is their face and all the components of it. We study people’s faces as a whole and as we carry out a conversation with them, we focus on various aspects, although we usually pay more attention to a person’s eyes and mouth. This is a fact that causes some people great concern.
From billboard advertisements to celebrity endorsements, we are bombarded with thinking about our teeth and mouths in an aesthetic manner. The psychology associated with the alignment and shape of one’s mouth and teeth is one that greatly affects our level of outgoingness and confidence.
In fact, it is has been suggested through scientific research that orthodontic treatment can boost social lives and careers in adults. Additionally, how straight one’s teeth are has an influence on another person’s perception of them in terms of how intelligent and trustworthy they seem.
Fundamental issues associated with mouth and teeth alignment are addressed in dentistry and orthodontics in multiple forms. As a general term, this is often referred to as a smile makeover. A smile makeover is one or more cosmetic, dental or facial rejuvenation procedures carried out with an end result of enhancing and improving the aesthetics of one’s smile.
Smile makeovers encompass a variety of techniques, surgeries and treatments including the fitting of porcelain veneers, Invisalign braces, the replacement of missing teeth, surgical gum contouring and even Botox. The number of procedures you go through depends on what your goal for your smile is.

If you have chipped or worn teeth and you’re looking for a simple, affordable and effective solution to give you an amazing autumn smile, look no further than cosmetic contouring. With this simple, pain-free procedure we can transform your smile in one easy session.
What is cosmetic contouring?
Cosmetic contouring is a procedure that is used to improve the look of individual teeth and create a healthier, more attractive looking smile. Often, the changes we make to the individual teeth are very minor, but the overall impact is amazing.
This is an effective solution for patients who have chipped, misshapen and worn teeth and the best news is that it is completely painless.
Our dentists use their skill and expertise to gently reshape and contour the teeth, smoothing rough edges and improving the shape of individual teeth to create a beautiful smile.
We can offer cosmetic contouring alone, combined with tooth whitening, or as part of a series of treatments that make up a smile makeover.
We can also offer cosmetic bonding, a quick and painless procedure used to improve the look of chipped and worn teeth, for misshapen teeth and worn tooth surfaces. This process involves using dental composite to patch up the teeth and make the smile look incredible.
If you’d like to find out more about cosmetic contouring, don’t hesitate to call us and arrange a consultation. We can talk you through the treatment process, identify areas that could benefit from treatment and give you an idea of what you can expect to see when you look in the mirror after the procedure.
If you’ve ever watched lifestyle or makeover programmes on television, you will have seen the difference a smile makeover can make to somebody’s appearance, as well as their confidence. We offer a bespoke smile makeover service to assess your needs and preferences, design and create your ideal smile and enhance your looks.
Each smile makeover is different because we all have different dental and cosmetic needs and varying ideas of what constitutes as the perfect smile. This is why the smile design stage is so important and why we encourage our patients to get involved, show us pictures and describe exactly the kind of look they want to achieve when treatment is complete.
How do you choose which treatments go into a smile makeover?
This is the really fun part when you design your smile and we go through the treatment options and decide which techniques would be best to achieve your dream smile. Everyone has different ideas and goals and all patients start from a different place; some people have greater needs than others and patients need different types of treatment. A patient who has chipped, worn teeth and a missing tooth, for example, will have different needs to a client who has crooked, crowded teeth and a gummy smile. We explore the different options and make recommendations based on the information we have about your smile, your oral health status and your treatment goals and select the best treatments for you. We will also chat to you about treatment times and cost, as these are other factors which may influence your decisions.
How long does treatment take?
Once we have completed the consultation stage, we can start treatment. Treatment time varies wildly, as some treatments take much longer than others. many of the simpler treatments such as cosmetic bonding, white fillings, gum reshaping and express whitening, can be completed in an hour, but orthodontic treatment and some restorative techniques take a lot longer.
