More and more people come to us with a smile design that doesn't feel like their own: teeth that are too white, too big or shaped in a way that doesn't suit their face. In most cases it can be improved.
This guide explains why it happens and the options to correct it — without judging previous work, focusing on what your mouth needs today.
Why some designs look unnatural
Usually a mix of these factors:
- A shade that is too white for your skin and eyes.
- A shape or length that doesn't suit your face or lips.
- Veneers that are too thick.
- Stained, loose or leaking edges.
- Inflamed gums around the restorations.
Options to correct it
It doesn't always mean starting over:
- Adjust and polish details without removing the veneers.
- Repair only the damaged pieces.
- Remove and redo the design in composite or ceramic.
- Treat the gums first if they are inflamed.
What does it cost?
It depends on what needs to be removed and on the material and number of teeth in the new design. Current starting prices for international patients are in our price guide; your exact quote is confirmed after the clinical assessment.
