Your smile, completely reimagined
A bespoke combination of cosmetic treatments, planned around your face, your goals, and your budget. From subtle refinements to a complete transformation, we build a plan that is entirely yours.
About the treatment
What is a smile makeover?
A smile makeover is a personalised treatment plan that combines two or more cosmetic procedures to achieve a comprehensive improvement to the appearance of your smile. Unlike a single treatment, a makeover addresses multiple concerns together for a cohesive, harmonious result.
The combination of treatments is chosen specifically for you. For some patients, that might mean whitening and composite bonding. For others, it could involve veneers, crowns, and orthodontic alignment. There is no fixed package; every plan is different.
At New Forest Family Dental, we take a thoughtful and unhurried approach to smile planning. We start by listening carefully to what you want to change, then build a plan that is achievable, realistic, and designed to look completely natural.
Why a smile makeover
A joined-up approach to your smile.
Entirely bespoke
A smile makeover is not a fixed package. Every treatment plan is built around your individual goals, facial features, and budget, combining whichever cosmetic procedures will give you the best overall result.
Comprehensive transformation
Rather than addressing one concern at a time, a smile makeover tackles everything together. The result is a cohesive, harmonious improvement to your smile rather than a patchwork of separate changes.
Proportioned to your face
We consider your facial proportions, skin tone, lip line, and smile when planning your makeover. The goal is always a result that looks natural and entirely appropriate for your face.
Planned collaboratively
We use photographs, shade guides, and sometimes trial mockups so you can visualise your result before committing to treatment. You are involved in every decision throughout the planning process.
Staged at your pace
A smile makeover can be completed in as few or as many appointments as suits you. We can plan treatment in phases to spread the cost and allow you to adjust the plan as it progresses.
Long-lasting results
The treatments that form a smile makeover are chosen for their durability as well as their aesthetics. With proper maintenance, your results can last for many years.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions.
What is included in a smile makeover?
A smile makeover is not a set package. It is a bespoke treatment plan combining whatever cosmetic procedures are most appropriate for your goals. This might include whitening, bonding, veneers, crowns, or a combination of several treatments. We discuss and agree the plan with you before anything begins.
How long does a smile makeover take?
The timeline depends entirely on which treatments are included. A straightforward makeover involving whitening and bonding might be completed in a few appointments over a few weeks. A more comprehensive plan involving veneers or crowns may take several months. We will give you a clear timeline during consultation.
How much does a smile makeover cost?
The cost varies depending on the number and type of treatments involved. We always provide a full, transparent cost breakdown before you commit to any treatment, and we are happy to discuss phasing the plan over time to help spread the cost.
Do I need to have healthy teeth first?
Yes. Any decay, gum disease, or other health issues need to be addressed before cosmetic treatment begins. This protects the longevity of your results and ensures the cosmetic work is built on a sound foundation. We assess your dental health thoroughly during the initial consultation.
Can I see what my smile will look like before treatment?
In many cases, yes. Depending on the planned treatments, we may be able to create a trial mockup in the mouth using composite resin, or show you a preview on photographs. This gives you a realistic expectation of the outcome before any irreversible changes are made.
Is a smile makeover painful?
We use local anaesthetic for any procedures that require it, and our approach throughout is gentle and unhurried. Many patients are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the experience is. If you have any anxiety about treatment, please let us know and we will take extra care to put you at ease.
