Many Melton Mowbray patients say they're glad they traveled for the level of care and results they simply couldn't find closer to home.

A smile makeover is a customized, comprehensive treatment plan that combines multiple cosmetic procedures to completely transform your smile. Rather than addressing just one issue, we look at your entire smile holistically - considering tooth colour, shape, size, alignment, gum proportions, and how everything works with your facial features. Your makeover might include professional whitening for brightness, veneers or bonding to perfect tooth shape and alignment, gum contouring if needed, and sometimes orthodontics. Every smile makeover is unique to the individual and designed to achieve your specific goals.

Both can improve your smile, but they suit different situations. Composite bonding uses tooth-coloured resin sculpted directly onto teeth in one visit, costs £150-£300 per tooth, is reversible, and lasts 5-7 years - it's perfect for minor corrections like small chips or gaps. Porcelain veneers are custom-made shells bonded to teeth, require 2-3 visits, cost £650-£950 per tooth, last 10-20 years, and offer superior natural aesthetics and stain resistance - they're better for comprehensive transformations. While veneers cost more initially, many patients find them better value long-term.

Absolutely - natural-looking results are our absolute specialty. We achieve this by carefully matching shade to complement your skin tone and features, creating subtle variations in tooth shape and size like natural teeth have, incorporating translucency and texture that mimics natural enamel, designing proportions that suit your face perfectly, and working with skilled ceramists who craft each veneer individually. Our Melton Mowbray patients consistently tell us people compliment their beautiful smile without realizing they've had cosmetic work. We want people to notice your smile, not your dental work.

Veneers can create the appearance of straighter teeth and are sometimes called 'instant orthodontics.' They're excellent for correcting minor misalignment, closing gaps, or improving the appearance of slightly rotated teeth. However, for significantly crooked teeth or bite problems, we may recommend clear aligner treatment first for healthier long-term results. Sometimes we combine both approaches - straightening teeth first with aligners, then perfecting them with veneers. During your consultation, we'll assess your specific situation and recommend the ideal approach.

With proper care and maintenance, porcelain veneers typically last 10-20 years, and many last even longer. Their longevity depends on the quality of materials used (we use only premium dental porcelain), your oral hygiene habits and regular dental visits, whether you grind your teeth (we provide nightguards if needed), and avoiding habits like biting very hard objects or using teeth as tools. We'll provide detailed care instructions to help you maximize your investment. Many of our patients still have beautiful veneers 15-20 years after treatment.
