The Art of Facial Harmony
A smile is not an isolated feature; it is the anchor of the face. We curate bespoke transformations that balance aesthetics, function, and personality.
The South Kensington Standard
- Bespoke Design: We do not do "off-the-shelf" smiles. Every angle is calculated for your face.
- Digital Blueprint: See your future smile on screen and "test drive" it before we begin.
- Multidisciplinary: Combining Veneers, Implants, and Gum Sculpting for total harmony.
- The Privilege: Access quality cosmetic dentistry at 50% courtesy rates with membership.
The Philosophy: Architecture, Not Just Dentistry
In the realm of high-end aesthetics, a "Smile Makeover" is often misunderstood. It is not simply about making teeth white and straight. It is about Proportion, Phonetics, and Personality.
At the Cosmetic Dentistry Clinic, we approach a makeover as an architectural project. We consider the "Golden Ratio" of your face. We analyse how your lips move when you speak, how much tooth you show when you laugh, and how the shade of your enamel complements your skin tone.
We reject the "Hollywood White" uniform—the rows of identical, opaque teeth that look artificial. Our philosophy is "Silent Luxury." We create smiles that are so naturally beautiful, they leave others wondering why you look so radiant, not asking who did your teeth.
The Menu of Refinement: Your Tools of Transformation
A Smile Makeover is not a single treatment; it is a curated combination of procedures tailored to your specific needs. Depending on your biological starting point, your makeover may include one or several of the following disciplines.
1. Porcelain Veneers (The Gold Standard)
For the ultimate in longevity and aesthetics. We use hand-layered felspathic porcelain or high-strength E.max ceramic to create ultra-thin shells that cover the front surface of the teeth.
The Effect: Corrects shape, shade, and alignment instantly. It mimics the light-handling properties of natural diamond-polished enamel.
2. Composite Bonding (The Additive Art)
For younger patients or those seeking a non-invasive upgrade. We apply a biocompatible resin directly to the tooth, sculpting it by hand to fix chips, close gaps, or lengthen worn edges.
The Effect: Immediate improvement with zero drilling of the natural tooth.
3. Dental Implants (The Missing Piece)
A smile cannot be harmonious if it is incomplete. If you are missing teeth, we seamlessly integrate titanium implants into the design, ensuring the crown on the implant matches the veneers on the natural teeth perfectly.
4. Gum Sculpting (The Pink Frame)
Sometimes the issue is not the painting, but the frame. If you have a "gummy smile" or an uneven gum line, we use laser technology to gently lift and contour the gum tissue, lengthening the appearance of the teeth and creating symmetry.
5. Professional Whitening (The Canvas)
Before any restorative work begins, we lift the base shade of your natural teeth. This ensures that any veneers or bonding we place are matched to your brightest, most youthful potential shade.
The Process: Co-Authoring Your Smile
We have discarded the old model of "doctor knows best." We believe in Co-Diagnosis and Co-Design. You are the architect; we are the builders.
Phase 1: The Interview (The "Why")
We begin with a conversation, not an examination. We sit in a private room, away from the dental chair. We ask about your life, your confidence, and your desires.
- • Do you hide your smile in photos?
- • Do you feel your teeth are too short? Too yellow? Too aggressive?
- • What kind of "character" do you want to project?
Phase 2: The Blueprint
We take a series of high-resolution photographs and videos of you speaking and smiling. We overlay the ideal tooth shapes onto your face to visualise the transformation.
The Reveal: We show you a simulation of your new smile on a screen. We can adjust the length, roundness, or whiteness in real-time based on your feedback.
Phase 3: The "Trial Smile" (The Test Drive)
This is the most critical step. For veneer cases, we create a temporary resin replica of the final design. We place this over your teeth (without gluing it permanently).
You can look in the mirror, speak, and even go home for a few days to "live" with the new shape. If you feel the front teeth are too long, or the corners too sharp, we adjust the prototype until you say, "This is it."
Phase 4: The Creation
Once the prototype is approved, our master ceramists in the laboratory hand-craft your final porcelain restorations. This takes 2–3 weeks.
Phase 5: The Revelation (Fit)
You return for the final bonding. We treat the internal surface of the ceramics and your teeth to create a chemical fusion. When you hand the mirror back to us, the transformation is complete.
Case Study: The "Rejuvenation" Makeover
To understand the impact, let us look at a typical profile of a Cosmetic Dentistry Clinic patient.
The Patient
Sarah, a 42-year-old executive.
The Complaint
She felt her teeth looked "worn and tired." Years of stress-grinding had shortened her front teeth, making them flat and invisible when she spoke. She also disliked the yellowing that had occurred despite brushing. She felt her smile aged her face.
The Solution
- Gum Lift: We raised the gum line on her front two teeth to reduce the "squarish" look.
- 10 Porcelain Veneers (Upper Arch): We restored the length of her teeth, adding 1.5mm to the edges. This restored the "smile arc" (where the teeth follow the curve of the lower lip), instantly taking 10 years off her appearance.
- Shade Selection: We chose a "Natural Bright" shade—luminous, but with enough translucency to look real.
The Outcome
Sarah reported that for the first time in a decade, she wore red lipstick to a board meeting. The structural support of the veneers also slightly plumped her upper lip, softening her facial profile.
The Investment: Fees & Privilege Access
A Smile Makeover is an investment in your personal brand and self-esteem. It is complex, artistic work that commands a premium.
However, we believe that transparency is the ultimate luxury. Through our Privilege Programme, we have removed the mystery from pricing.

Longevity & Maintenance: Protecting the Art
A common question is: How long will it last?
- Porcelain Veneers: With proper care, 10–15 years is the standard expectation, though many last 20+. They do not stain.
- Composite Bonding: Typically 5–7 years before they may need polishing or refurbishment.
- Implants: Designed to be permanent (25+ years).
Our Guarantee
We offer a 5-Year Guarantee on all porcelain and ceramic work, provided you attend your scheduled hygiene and check-up appointments. This is our promise of quality.
Maintenance Protocol
- Night Guards: If you have a history of grinding, we will provide a custom-made night guard to protect your new porcelain while you sleep.
- Hygiene: You must maintain strict gum health. We recommend seeing our hygienist every 3–6 months to ensure the "frames" of your art remain healthy.
Why South Kensington Chooses Us
1. The "Silent" Aesthetic
We are known for the work that cannot be seen. We focus on texture matching and polychromatic layering. We create natural variations (like slight translucency at the edge) for a lifelike appearance. A tooth that is uniformly white and solid looks artificial; a tooth that plays with light looks real.
2. The Material Science
We partner with established dental laboratories. We do not outsource to mass-production facilities. Every veneer is finished under a microscope by a master ceramist who understands the biology of light.
3. The Emotional Intelligence
We understand that changing your face is emotional. We support you through the journey. If you are anxious, we offer a calm, unhurried environment. If you are unsure, we offer the trial smile. You are never pushed; you are guided.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does getting veneers hurt?
Modern veneer preparation is minimal. We often remove less than 0.5mm of enamel (the thickness of a contact lens). The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, so patients typically experience no discomfort. You may experience mild sensitivity for a few days after fitting, but this subsides quickly.
Can I choose how white I want to go?
Absolutely. We have shade guides ranging from "Natural" to "Bleach White." We will advise you on what suits your skin tone and eye whites (sclera), but the final decision is yours. We often recommend a "gradation" of colour—slightly brighter in the centre, slightly warmer at the corners—for the most natural look.
What happens if a veneer chips?
Porcelain is incredibly strong, but like natural teeth, it can chip if you bite on a fork or ice. If this happens, we can often polish it smooth. If the chip is large, we can replace the single veneer easily. This is covered under our guarantee if due to material failure.
Can I finance my makeover?
Yes. We offer 0% finance plans (subject to status) to help you spread the cost of your transformation over 12 to 24 months, making the investment manageable.
Your Transformation Begins
A Smile Makeover is more than dentistry; it is a recalibration of how you present yourself to the world. It is the ultimate accessory, worn every day, in every interaction.
