Smile makeovers may involve just simple whitening and cosmetic bonding, all the way up to complex full-mouth rehabilitations.
Simon is a perfectionist; he is always striving to achieve a result that exceeds his patients’ expectations. The ethos of #GreatBritishSmiles is to create a smile which is beautifully bespoke to that person’s character and not artificial-looking, enhancing what is already there instead of giving every patient the same smile.
As they say, “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”, and thus it is very important to Simon that you, the patient, have creative control in the design process of your new smile. A smile is a very individual characteristic and must be unique to each patient; following the steps below allows for predictable and beautiful smile designs for every person Simon treats.

From minor concerns to more complex dental issues, we offer tailored treatments designed around you.
Guiding you through every stage of your dental care with confidence and ease.
1Starting the process can always be daunting for patients who have worried about their smile for many years. The consultation with Simon is very relaxed and is really just a fact-finding mission. The most important feature is defining exactly what the patient’s worries are about their smile.
2Don’t worry if you don’t know exactly what smile you want; most patients don’t! Simon carries out a detailed examination, including, most importantly, accurate digital photographs; Digital Smile Design can then often be used to provide a computer simulation of the potential result to show the patient.
3Detailed impressions or digital scans are taken of the teeth for the artist, who is Simon’s dental technician, to build a wax preview based on the initial computer simulations.
A silicone key of this wax mock-up can then be used to replicate this trial smile in the patient’s mouth using acrylic. This procedure is very quick and completely painless, as the acrylic simply slips on top of the teeth and can be gently removed after the smile has been test-driven. This smile “test drive” is documented with photographs and video, and the patient can see the difference a new smile could make without committing to anything more at this time.
4Simon will then discuss with you the various options and estimates which are required to achieve this beautiful new smile. With modern dentistry, there are always many treatment options to suit different budgets or expectations.
5Teeth that require veneers/crowns/bridges are prepared, and impressions or digital scans are taken. If the patient is having a “Single Visit Smile” utilising CADCAM CEREC technology, then the final smile can sometimes be placed at this point. If not, then temporary restorations are placed using the guides from the wax-up.
6If a traditional smile makeover has been carried out utilising porcelain veneers or crowns, then Simon’s skilled technician will take around 3 weeks to fabricate the final result; the temporaries are then removed, and the final restorations can be placed. You are then ready to start your new confident life with a beautiful smile.
