01 Overview

What is a smile makeover, and which treatments can it include?

A smile makeover is not one treatment. It is a plan that brings together several, chosen to suit your teeth, your gums and what you want. It is carried out after a design stage, which is described on our smile designing page, so that the colour, shape and position of the teeth agree with each other.1

The treatments most often combined are straightening with Invisalign or braces, lightening the colour with teeth whitening, reshaping the gum line with gum contouring, repairing or reshaping teeth with dental bonding or veneers, and protecting weak teeth with crowns.2

The order matters. Teeth are made healthy first, then straightened if needed, because moving teeth after cosmetic work can damage it. Whitening comes before tooth-coloured work, so that the new material matches the lighter shade, and shaping of teeth comes last. Each treatment carries its own risks and upkeep, which are explained before it starts.4

A smile makeover combines treatments in a planned order, and health always comes first.

02 Suitability

Who can have a smile makeover in Andheri West?

Dr. Shreya Shah decides this only after a consultation, an examination and X-rays. These are the general patterns.

A makeover may suit you if

  • Several things about your smile bother you, such as colour, crowding, gaps, chips and the gum line.
  • Your teeth and gums are healthy, or any problems are treated first.
  • You are ready to follow a plan over weeks or months.
  • You understand that some treatments cannot be undone and are comfortable with that.
  • You can keep up cleaning and check-ups.

A makeover may not suit you yet if

  • You have untreated decay, gum disease or pain.
  • You grind or clench your teeth heavily and it has not been managed.
  • Only one thing bothers you, in which case a single treatment may be enough.
  • You want a quick result with no planning.
  • You expect an exact copy of another person's smile.

If only the colour bothers you, teeth whitening may be enough. If a single chip bothers you, bonding may do. If decay is present, a filling comes first. For the full list of options, see the cosmetic dentist page.

A makeover suits people who want several changes planned together, and one treatment may be enough for others.

03 Options

Smile makeover treatments and how they fit together at our Andheri West clinic

The plan includes only the treatments your smile needs. Dr. Shah explains what each does and where it sits in the order.

Health and alignment first

Decay and gum problems are treated, and teeth are straightened with aligners or braces if they are crowded or out of position.

Weeks to months

Colour and gum line

Whitening lightens natural teeth, and gum contouring evens the gum line, so that the teeth look in proportion.

Days to weeks

Shape and repair

Bonding, veneers or crowns change the shape, size and colour of individual teeth, matched to the lighter shade.

04 Procedure

How a smile makeover is carried out in Andheri West, step by step

A makeover follows the plan agreed at the design stage. Your own plan may have more or fewer steps.1

The order of treatment is what makes a makeover look natural and last.

  1. Consultation and design

    Dr. Shah listens to what you want, examines your teeth, gums and bite, takes photographs and records, and makes a design with you.

  2. Making the teeth and gums healthy

    Decay is treated, gum disease is controlled and the teeth are cleaned. Cosmetic work is not started on unhealthy teeth.

  3. Straightening the teeth if needed

    If teeth are crowded or out of place, aligners or braces move them. This stage usually takes months, and retainers hold the result.

  4. Reshaping the gum line if needed

    If the gum line is uneven or too high, gum contouring is done once the gums are healthy. The gum is allowed to settle before the next stage.

  5. Whitening the natural teeth

    Whitening lightens the natural teeth to the planned shade, before any tooth-coloured materials are made, so they match the new colour.

  6. Trying out the new shapes

    A preview or trial of the new shapes lets you see and comment on length, width and shade before teeth are shaped.

  7. Bonding, veneers or crowns

    Teeth are repaired or reshaped with bonding, or prepared for veneers or crowns, with temporary teeth between visits if they are needed. The final work is checked for fit, colour and bite.

  8. Retainers and upkeep

    Retainers hold straightened teeth. You are shown how to look after the new work, and review visits check the bite, the gums and the materials.

05 Cost

What decides the cost of a smile makeover in Andheri West, Mumbai?

Cost depends on your evaluation. A smile makeover is planned for each person, so no single figure fits everyone.

Two makeovers can include very different treatments. After the consultation and examination, Dr. Shreya Shah explains the stages, and the cost of each stage is discussed before you decide to go ahead.

What changes the plan

  • Which treatments the plan includes
  • The number of teeth treated
  • The materials chosen
  • The length of any straightening stage
  • Treatment needed first, such as fillings or gum care
  • Temporary teeth and the number of visits
  • Retainers and later upkeep

What the evaluation covers

  • A talk about what you want to change
  • An examination of your teeth, gums and bite
  • Photographs, records and a shade
  • A written plan with the order of stages
06 Aftercare

How should you look after a smile makeover, and when should you call?

During treatmentEach stage has its own care, which we explain before it starts. Keep brushing twice a day and cleaning between your teeth, because healthy gums are the base of every result.
After whitening or bondingAvoid heavily staining food and drink for the first days, and avoid biting hard objects with bonded teeth.
After veneers or crownsTake care with very hard and sticky food, and tell us about any grinding, because a night guard can protect the work.
Long termWear retainers as advised, come for check-ups and regular cleaning, and tell us early if anything chips, loosens or changes.

Warning signs that need a call the same day

  • A veneer, crown or bonding that chips, cracks or comes off
  • Pain in a treated tooth that does not settle
  • A bite that feels wrong
  • Swollen or bleeding gums
  • Sensitivity that gets worse
  • A retainer that is lost or broken

Call 08806796696 or message us on WhatsApp. If you have trouble breathing or swallowing, or swelling is spreading to your eye or neck, go to a hospital emergency department. For a broken tooth or other urgent problem, see dental emergency treatment.

A makeover lasts well with daily cleaning, retainers and regular check-ups.

07 Risks and limits

What are the risks of a smile makeover, and when do we advise against one?

Risks and complications

  • Each treatment in the plan has its own risks, which are explained before it starts.
  • Some stages cannot be undone, such as shaping teeth for veneers or reshaping the gum.
  • Cosmetic work can chip, stain or wear, and will need repair or replacement at some point.
  • Straightened teeth drift back without retainers.4
  • The final look can differ from the preview, because teeth, gums and lips are not the same as an image.
  • A makeover takes time and several visits, and skipped visits can delay or spoil results.

When we advise against, delay or refer

  • Untreated decay or gum disease, which must be treated first.
  • Heavy grinding or clenching that has not been managed, which would damage the work.
  • A plan that asks the teeth, gums or bite for more than they can give.
  • A request to rush through irreversible stages without time to think.
  • A case that needs training beyond what is available, such as complex orthodontics or jaw surgery, for which Dr. Shah arranges coordinated care with a suitably trained clinician.
  • A request to copy another person's smile exactly.

A makeover is worth doing when teeth are healthy and the plan is realistic, and we say so when it is not yet.

Smile makeover questions we hear in Andheri West

Straight answers to what patients ask before they book. If your question is not here, call or message us.

How is the cost of a smile makeover decided in Andheri West?

A smile makeover is planned for each person, so the cost is given only after your evaluation. It depends on which treatments the plan includes, the number of teeth, the materials, the number of visits and how long the plan takes, and any treatment needed first. After the examination, Dr. Shreya Shah explains the plan and the cost of each stage before you decide.

What is a smile makeover?

A smile makeover is a plan that combines more than one treatment to improve how a smile looks, such as straightening, whitening, reshaping the gum line, bonding, veneers or crowns. It follows a design, and the treatments are done in an order that suits your teeth and gums.

How long does a smile makeover take?

It depends on the treatments. Whitening and bonding can be done in days to weeks. Aligners or braces take months, and veneers add visits. A full makeover often takes several months, and we give an estimate after the plan is agreed. Teeth and gums need healing time between some stages.

In what order are the treatments done?

Health comes first, so decay and gum disease are treated. Next comes any straightening, then gum contouring if needed, then whitening, and finally the shaping of teeth with bonding, veneers or crowns, which are matched to the new colour. Dr. Shah explains the order for your plan.

Can I do the makeover in stages?

Yes. Many people do the most important changes first and add others later. A plan that is made first makes this easy, because each stage fits the whole design.

Will I have temporary teeth during the makeover?

If veneers or crowns are part of the plan, temporary ones usually protect the shaped teeth between visits. Temporary teeth can look slightly different from the final ones, and we explain what to expect.

How long will the results last?

Different treatments last for different times. Whitening fades, bonding and veneers can chip or stain and will need repair or replacement, and straightened teeth need retainers to stay where they are. We cannot say in advance how long the whole result will stay, and we explain the upkeep.

What if I am not happy partway through?

Tell us. Because the work is done in stages, there are points where the plan can be changed. Treatments that involve shaping teeth cannot be undone, so we show previews or trials first, and we do not go ahead with those stages until you are sure.
