Smile designing
Smile designing means planning changes to your teeth so your smile looks balanced with your face. It can be one small change or a combination of treatments.

Why plan your smile at Anaya
Specialist training
Planned by an MDS prosthodontist, the specialty focused on the shape, colour and fit of teeth.
Your face, not a template
The plan is based on your face, lips and bite, not a standard smile.
Options before cost
You see every option and its cost before anything starts.
Looking after your new smile
- Brush twice a day and clean between your teeth
- Cut down on tea, coffee and tobacco to reduce staining
- Do not bite very hard objects with front crowns
- Keep regular check-ups so small problems are caught early
What is a smile makeover?
A smile makeover is a plan that combines one or more treatments, such as whitening, crowns or aligners, to improve how your smile looks.
How long does smile designing take?
It depends on the treatments involved. Whitening can be quick, while aligners take months. Dr. Rima gives you a timeline with your plan.
Will my teeth look natural?
The aim is a natural result. Shade and shape are chosen to suit your face and your other teeth.
