Smile design combines digital planning technology with precision porcelain veneers, crowns, and professional whitening to create a customised, camera-ready smile. Patients travelling abroad benefit from dramatic aesthetic transformations carried out by skilled cosmetic dentists at 40–65% below European and North American prices.
Your case is matched to a centre on the basis of clinical outcome data, not marketing. We coordinate every step — from pre-operative work-up to post-treatment follow-up — with a dedicated care coordinator.

Thin custom-made porcelain shells are bonded to the front surface of teeth to correct discoloration, chips, gaps, or shape irregularities, after a small amount of enamel is shaved down to make room for the shell.
Typical recovery · 2 visits, no downtime
Usually 2 visits — tooth preparation and impressions at the first, bonding the finished veneers at the second — with temporary veneers worn in between while the porcelain set is fabricated. Mild sensitivity to hot or cold can last a few days after bonding. Veneers are not permanent: porcelain veneers typically last 10–15 years on average, and up to 20 years with good care, before chipping, staining at the margins, or debonding eventually calls for replacement.

A digital planning step, not a treatment in itself: photographs, video, and intraoral scans of the patient's face and teeth are used to build a computer simulation of the proposed smile, from which a temporary mock-up can be tried in the mouth so the patient can preview and approve the shape, length, and color before any tooth is prepared for veneers or bonding.
Typical recovery · Same day, no recovery
A same-day consultation and imaging session with no incision or anesthesia involved, so there is no clinical recovery period. It is typically bundled into the overall smile-makeover treatment plan rather than billed as a separate procedure.

A high-concentration peroxide bleaching gel is applied to the teeth in-clinic, often with a light or laser to accelerate the reaction, lightening the natural tooth shade in a single sitting.
Typical recovery · 1 session, 1–3 years
A single in-office session of roughly 60–90 minutes with no downtime, though transient tooth or gum sensitivity is common for 24–48 hours afterward. Whitening is not permanent — enamel is porous, so staining from coffee, tea, red wine, or tobacco gradually returns, and results typically last 1–3 years before a touch-up session is needed depending on diet and habits.

Tooth-colored composite resin is sculpted directly onto teeth in the chair to close small gaps, repair chips, or reshape uneven edges, with little to no enamel removal — a more conservative, lower-cost alternative to veneers for minor imperfections.
Typical recovery · 1 visit, 3–10 years
Completed in a single visit, usually under two hours, with no anesthesia or downtime required. Composite bonding is less durable than porcelain veneers, typically lasting 3–10 years before chipping or staining requires polishing, repair, or replacement.

Yes — in most cases a complete veneer smile design can be finished in a single visit of seven to ten days. On day one the clinic performs diagnostics and digital smile design, presenting you with a visual simulation of your new smile. On day two or three the teeth are prepared and high-quality temporary veneers are placed. The permanent porcelain or E.max veneers are fabricated by an in-house lab over three to five days, and final bonding is completed before you fly home. You leave with your finished, permanent smile. Only very complex cases combining extractions, implants, and veneers require two visits.
