Smile Makeover in Gangnam Seoul

A smile makeover combines treatments into one plan — so colour, shape, gums and alignment work together for a natural result.

In short: a smile makeover is a personalised plan that combines treatments such as whitening, bonding, veneers, crowns, orthodontics or gum contouring. It suits people with several concerns at once. It starts with a full examination, and your dentist explains the order, timeline and cost in English before you decide.

Understanding the plan

What is a smile makeover?

A smile makeover is not one procedure but a plan. Our prosthodontists (specialists in restoring and replacing teeth) look at your teeth, gums, bite and face together, then suggest the fewest steps that meet your goals.

Lighter

Minor makeover

Small, conservative changes.

  • Whitening
  • Bonding of chips or gaps
  • Little or no enamel removed
Comprehensive

Full smile design

Larger changes over several stages.

  • Veneers or crowns
  • Aligners or braces first, if needed
  • Gum contouring, if suitable

Is it right for you?

Common goals

  • Stained, worn or chipped teeth
  • Gaps or uneven tooth sizes
  • Gummy or uneven gum line
  • Old fillings or crowns that look dark

Worth knowing

Things to consider

  • Healthy teeth and gums come first
  • Some steps are permanent
  • Complex plans may take weeks to months
