More than dentistry - this is smile design
A great smile makeover isn't about chasing a Hollywood look or fitting some generic template. It's about understanding the proportions of your face, the shape of your lips when you talk, the way light hits your teeth when you laugh - and then choosing the combination of treatments that gets you to the result you actually want. Sometimes that's just whitening. Sometimes it's veneers. Often it's a thoughtful mix of two or three things working together. The skill is in knowing what to combine, in what order, for what effect.

Real stories from patients who wanted to feel like themselves again
What goes into a smile makeover?
Gum reshaping and dental refinements
Small adjustments to gum contours, tooth edges and proportions that often make the biggest difference. We'll discuss these as part of your overall plan if relevant.
Why combine treatments?
Smile makeovers exist as a concept because most lasting smile transformations need more than one thing. Whitening your natural teeth before adding veneers means the final shade is brighter. Straightening crooked teeth first means we can place thinner, more conservative veneers afterwards. Sequencing matters - and good results come from planning the whole journey before starting any treatment.
The makeover design process
Every makeover starts with a proper conversation - and we never start clinical work until you know exactly what you're getting.
Step 1 - Free consultation
A relaxed, no-pressure conversation with our treatment coordinator. We'll talk through what you want to change, what you've tried before, and what's realistic. £20 refundable deposit secures the appointment.
Step 2 - Full clinical assessment
3D scans, BACD-protocol photography, OPG and CBCT if needed, a full periodontal assessment and oral cancer screening. We follow the full BACD diagnostic protocol - nothing gets missed.
Step 3 - Smile design
Dr Bhavnish Waghela's experience as an ex-Director of the British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry shapes how we design your new smile - tailored to your face, your features, and your personality. Not a template.
Step 4 - Trial smile preview
Before any permanent work is done, we can show you a mock-up of your new smile - either digitally on screen or as a temporary preview in your mouth. You can see it, refine it, and approve it before committing.
Step 5 - Sequenced treatment
Treatment is delivered in the right order - usually whitening first, then any orthodontic work, then bonding or veneers, with finishing touches at the end. Our onsite mini dental lab and CEREC technology mean many cases finish faster than you'd expect.
Step 6 - Ongoing care
A makeover is a long-term investment. Regular check-ups and hygiene visits protect your result for years to come.

Not every case is suited to same-day - we'll be honest about which approach gives you the best result.

Trusted by our patients
Absolutely amazing dentist Dr Waghela, the fact that they closed the surgery so I could have an operation there was amazing. They take extra care of you and make sure you are looked after from going in to leaving and then after care is amazing. This is the best dentist I have ever had. Would recommend to anyone especially if you are nervous they can sedate you and you don't remember anything that happened. Thanks to Kizzi, and the 2 nurses that dealt with me you are all fantastic. Love this place. Thank you team for your super efforts throughout.
Outstanding service everytime. I have been using natural smiles for around 10 years now and they are so friendly, really on the ball with appointment reminders etc I always feel so welcomed by the reception team, Dr Bal and her assistant. Dr Bal is very knowledgeable and passionate about her work. Can't recommend them enough! Thanks for taking care of me!
Very professional service from the entire team at Natural Smiles. Dr Waghela discussed all options in great detail. Really pleased with my new smile! Not only the initial treatment but the aftercare service is faultless. Natural Smiles is my number one choice!
Having spent most of my lifetime in a dental practice, I was apprehensive when I needed private treatment for some dental implants to replace quite a few missing teeth. Dr Bhavnish has been nothing but amazing! He explained the process thoroughly, addressed any concerns and made sure I was comfortable throughout the whole procedure. The aftercare has been fabulous too. I would recommend him and his practice with my eyes closed.
Had a great experience! Everybody was super friendly and I was in a lot of pain following my wisdom tooth dramas but thanks to these guys I was fine within a day or so! Thank you for the super fast service and availability and continue being awesome!
Always welcoming and professional. Care and attention second to none. Great communication and attention to detail.
Natural Smiles is the place to go! Brilliant service and staff. Bhavnish has been amazing and went through everything in detail from start to finish for my tooth implant. So impressed with the implant and the overall experience. Thank you.
Dr Raja and his team are fantastic. I had Invisalign just a few months before I got married and I love the result. I can now smile with confidence. I cannot thank Dr Raja enough for ensuring that the whole process was smooth and I had the desired result before my big day. I would 100% recommend Natural Smiles to everyone.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a full smile makeover take?
It depends on what's involved. A whitening-and-bonding makeover can be completed in 2-3 weeks. Adding aligners can push the timeline to 6-12 months. Veneers can be done in a few weeks - or in a single day with our CEREC approach. We'll give you a personalised timeline at your consultation.
Will my new smile look fake?
Not with our approach. The whole philosophy of how we design smile makeovers is around natural-looking results that suit your face and features. The fake look usually comes from poorly chosen shapes, overly bright shades or generic templates - none of which feature in how we work.
Can I see what my new smile will look like before treatment?
Yes - this is one of the most useful parts of modern smile design. Before any permanent work is done, we can show you a digital preview of your new smile, or a temporary trial smile bonded onto your existing teeth. You can see it, adjust it, and approve it before committing.
How long will my new smile last?
With good care, the various components of a smile makeover last differently - whitening for years with occasional top-ups, composite bonding 5-7 years, porcelain veneers 10-15+ years, CEREC crowns 10-15+ years. Regular hygiene visits and good home care extend all of these.
Will it hurt?
Most smile makeover treatment is remarkably comfortable. Composite bonding usually requires no anaesthetic. Veneer preparation involves only a small amount of tooth shaping under anaesthetic. Most patients are surprised by how much less involved treatment feels than they'd imagined.
How do I decide if a makeover is right for me?
The free consultation is designed exactly for this. There's no pressure, no commitment - just an honest conversation about what you want to change and whether a makeover is the right route. Many patients leave the consultation with a clearer sense of what they actually want, even if they don't proceed straight away.
Do you offer finance for smile makeover treatment?
Yes - through V12. Options include 0% interest over 12 months with no deposit, and longer-term plans up to five years at 9.9% APR. We can also stage treatment and payments for more involved cases.
