Smile Makeovers
A smile makeover is not a single treatment, it is a carefully sequenced combination of procedures designed to address multiple concerns across the whole mouth at once. It might involve whitening, alignment, bonding, veneers, crowns, or gum reshaping, depending on what each individual case requires. At This Is It Dental, Dr. Rena Uberoi plans every makeover holistically, because improving the front teeth without considering the bite, the gums, and the broader facial structure is one of the most common causes of cosmetic dental failure.
Why a Holistic Plan Is Non-Negotiable
Whether your teeth are compromised by advanced mechanical wear, severe structural fractures, complex bite misalignments, or intrinsic discolouration, Dr. Uberoi looks at the entire oral ecosystem. Focusing solely on the appearance of the front teeth while ignoring the health of the back teeth is one of the primary causes of cosmetic dental failure. The teeth operate as a unified mechanical system:
-
Bite Support and Vertical Dimension
If your back teeth are missing or worn flat, the jaw collapses forward and immense force transfers to the front teeth. Placing veneers on front teeth without first restoring correct bite height will inevitably cause the new restorations to fracture or debond, and just like natural teeth, new restorations can fail if the underlying bite mechanics haven't been worked out properly first. Before any structural or cosmetic work begins, Dr. Uberoi investigates why your teeth have worn in the first place, so the cause is corrected as part of the new smile, not simply covered over. We use T-Scan digital bite analysis throughout treatment and again on completion, so we can confirm the finished bite is genuinely balanced, which is what gives the smile optimal function as well as optimal aesthetics and comfort.
-
Periodontal Integration
The most beautiful ceramic work will fail if the underlying bone and gum support are compromised. Dr. Uberoi never performs cosmetic or structural enhancements until your periodontal health is completely stable.
-
Facial Architecture
Teeth support the structure of the lower face. A well-planned makeover does not just improve visible teeth, it restores the structural support underpinning your natural facial aesthetics and lip contour.
The Multidisciplinary Toolset
-
Adult Orthodontics
To safely guide crowded or rotated teeth into optimal positioning before any restorative work begins, minimising the enamel reshaping required.
-
Advanced Ceramics
To restore permanently damaged, heavily filled, or fractured teeth with sub-millimetre margin precision.
-
Biomimetic Bonding
For conservative, additive shaping of minor contour discrepancies without invasive drilling.
-
Periodontal Soft-Tissue Management
Where an uneven or excessive gum line frames the teeth poorly, our Biolase diode laser sculpts and balances the gum architecture without surgery.
-
Teeth Whitening
Always completed before any restorations, so new ceramic and composite materials are matched to the brightened baseline shade.
The Clinical Process
-
Panoramic Diagnostics & Facial Photography
A complete clinical picture: high-resolution photographs, 3D intraoral scans, and digital radiographs covering root health, bone density, and facial proportions.
-
The Digital Prototype
Using advanced software, Dr. Uberoi creates a 3D model of your planned rehabilitation, calculating how the new teeth will come together when you chew and speak, and ensuring structural longevity before any treatment begins.
-
The Trial Smile
The digital design is translated into a temporary physical matrix placed directly over your existing teeth. You leave the clinic wearing your planned result and evaluate it in real life, in natural light, at work, socially, for several days before anything is confirmed.
-
Foundations & Stabilisation
Any necessary baseline treatments are executed: advanced periodontal care, replacement of failing restorations, orthodontic alignment if required.
-
Delivery & Occlusal Balancing
Definitive restorations are placed and the bite is meticulously balanced across the entire arch using T-Scan digital analysis, ensuring forces are distributed evenly and no single tooth or restoration is overloaded.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a complete smile makeover take?
The timeline is determined entirely by the complexity of your rehabilitation. A plan involving only composite bonding or a small number of veneers can often be completed in two to three weeks. If treatment requires clear aligners to correct a significant bite misalignment first, or implants to replace missing teeth, the full process can span six to 18 months. Dr. Uberoi establishes a clear, data-driven timeline at your consultation.
Will it look natural, or too bright and artificial?
We specialise in bespoke, natural-looking restorations. Dr. Uberoi takes into account your skin tone, eye colour, age, and personal preferences when designing ceramic shades. Our master ceramists hand-layer variations in translucency, surface texture, and characterisation into every crown and veneer.
How do I maintain my smile makeover long-term?
A rehabilitated smile requires the same care as a healthy natural mouth: thorough daily brushing, flossing, and regular professional hygiene appointments. A custom-milled night guard is part of any plan involving porcelain restorations or composite bonding, to protect against the structural damage of unconscious nighttime grinding.
What if I am not happy with the trial smile?
That is exactly what the trial smile phase exists for. If the shape, length, or proportion of any tooth does not feel right in real life, we adjust the design before the laboratory manufactures your final restorations. Nothing is confirmed until you are genuinely satisfied.
