SMILE MAKEOVER
Smile Makeover
Consultation from only £30
Iconic Smiles is a multi-award-winning NHS and private dental group providing high-end smile makeover across Hertfordshire and North London. From our clinics in Hatfield, Cheshunt, Turners Hill and Friern Barnet, we design bespoke smiles using Invisalign, composite bonding, porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, tooth and gum contouring and dental implants. Smile makeover treatment is primarily private cosmetic dentistry, planned for patients who want a complete transformation rather than a quick fix.
What is a smile makeover?
A smile makeover is a custom plan that uses several cosmetic and restorative treatments together to change how your teeth look, feel and function. Instead of treating one tooth at a time, we design the whole smile using:
- Digital photography and smile design
- Facial proportions, lip line and gum line
- Bite analysis and long-term stability
Therefore, your treatment is not just “white and straight”. It is tailored to your face, your lifestyle and the image you want to project.
What problems can a smile makeover fix?
Smile makeovers at our Hertfordshire and North London clinics can address:
- Chipped, cracked or broken teeth
- Discoloured teeth or old fillings
- Crooked or crowded teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Worn or short teeth
- A “gummy” smile or uneven gum line
- Missing teeth and collapsing bites
If you are unhappy every time you see your teeth in photos or on video, a smile makeover is often the most efficient way to correct several issues together.
Treatments we use in your smile makeover
Your plan may include some or all of:
Invisalign and braces
to straighten teeth, correct crowding and align the bite.
Teeth whitening
to brighten your smile safely and evenly.
Composite bonding
to refine edges, close small gaps and reshape teeth with minimal drilling.
Porcelain veneers
for more dramatic changes to colour, length and shape.
Tooth contouring
tiny, precise adjustments to smoothen and balance tooth edges.
Gum contouring
to reduce or reshape a “gummy” or uneven gum line.
Dental implants
to replace missing teeth or support full-arch restorations.
Because all of these are available within Iconic Smiles, we recommend treatments based on what is clinically right, not what we happen to sell.
Smile makeover process at Iconic Smiles
We follow a clear sequence so nothing is left to chance:
1. Consultation and photography
we listen to what you dislike, take photos and examine your teeth, gums and bite.
2. Digital smile design
we plan shapes, proportions and possible outcomes using digital tools.
3. Treatment roadmap
you receive a staged plan outlining Invisalign or braces, whitening, bonding, veneers, implants or gum contouring where needed.
4. Execution phase
we carry out treatment in the right order: often align → bleach → bond/veneers or implant-led staging.
5. Finishing and refinement
we fine-tune shapes, edges and bite contacts.
6. Maintenance
we set up reviews, hygiene and retainers so your new smile stays stable.
This approach means you know exactly what will happen, how long it will take and what the likely result will be before you start.
Smile makeovers for different goals
Every smile makeover is bespoke, but common patterns include:
Professional and camera-facing patients
subtle, natural upgrades that look good in real life and on screen.
Full transformations
for people who have always hated their teeth or have long-term damage and wear.
Denture to fixed
implant-led plans for patients who want to move from dentures to fixed full-arch teeth.
Post-orthodontic refinement
finishing touches after previous braces or Invisalign.
During planning, we discuss what “too little”, “too much” and “just right” look like for you, so the result matches your personality and lifestyle.
How much does a smile makeover cost in Hertfordshire?
There is no single price for a smile makeover because every plan is different. Costs depend on:
- Whether you need Invisalign or braces
- How many teeth require bonding or veneers
- Whether implants are needed
- The number of visits and complexity of the work
However, we always:
- Provide a clear written quote with itemised stages
- Explain what is essential, what is optional and what can be phased
- Offer finance options (subject to status) for larger treatment plans

Frequently asked questions
What is included in a smile makeover?
A smile makeover is a custom plan that may include Invisalign, whitening, composite bonding, veneers, tooth and gum contouring or implants, depending on your needs. We design the plan around your goals, budget and clinical situation.
How long does a smile makeover take?
Timeframes vary. Simple bonding and whitening cases may be finished in a few weeks, while Invisalign, implants or more complex veneer work can take several months. We will outline a realistic timeline at your consultation.
Will a smile makeover damage my teeth?
Our approach is as minimally invasive as possible. We prefer to move teeth first, then whiten and then use conservative bonding or veneers. Where reduction is required, we explain exactly how much and why before we start.
Is a smile makeover painful?
Most stages are comfortable and often done with local anaesthetic where needed. Invisalign, whitening and bonding are usually very well tolerated. Implant surgery or extensive prep may cause short-term soreness, which we manage with advice and medication.
How long will my new smile last?
Longevity depends on the treatments used, your bite, your habits and how well you maintain your teeth. With good care, retainers and regular reviews, a well-planned smile makeover can remain stable and attractive for many years.
Can I spread the cost of a smile makeover?
Yes. For larger treatment plans, we can usually offer finance options, subject to status, so you can spread the cost over monthly payments.
Am I too old for a smile makeover?
In most cases, no. Many of our smile makeover patients are in their 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond. We focus on health, stability and appropriate cosmetic change, regardless of age.
