Smile Makeover
A smile makeover combines multiple cosmetic and restorative dental treatments to improve the appearance, balance, and overall harmony of your smile. Whether you’re concerned about stained, chipped, uneven, or worn teeth, every treatment plan at Chitra Dental Clinic is personalised to suit your facial features, oral health, and aesthetic goals while maintaining natural-looking results.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening is a safe and effective way to remove stains and brighten your smile. Unlike over-the-counter products, professional whitening treatments are performed under dental supervision to achieve noticeable results while protecting your teeth and gums. Our treatments help restore a brighter, more confident smile with long-lasting results when combined with good oral care.
Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells placed over the front surface of teeth to improve their shape, colour, size, and overall appearance. They are an excellent solution for correcting chipped, discoloured, uneven, or slightly misaligned teeth while preserving a natural smile. Every veneer is carefully designed to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth.
Smile Designing
Smile designing is a personalised approach that considers your facial features, tooth proportions, gum aesthetics, and overall oral health to create a balanced and attractive smile. Using careful treatment planning and modern cosmetic dentistry techniques, we help patients achieve natural-looking smile enhancements that complement their individual appearance.

About the Procedure & FAQ
Below are answers to the most common questions, concerns, and procedural details regarding Aesthetic Dentistry (Cosmetics) at Chitra Dental Clinic.
Any procedure that enhances the smile and appearance of the patient comes under aesthetic dentistry. Also known as cosmetic dentistry, it is focused on enhancing the general appearance of the teeth and mouth. It gives the your smile the makeover that it needs to bring out a better-looking you. It can significantly boost your self-esteem, and makes sure that your smile is the best smile in every selfie you take. The procedures that come under this include teeth whitening, dental bonding, restorations and fillings, porcelain veneers, and overlaps with Implantology and Orthodontics also to provide an all-round enhancement.
Broken or chipped teeth, stained or discolored teeth, gaps in between teeth, uneven teeth, worn down teeth, excess gum tissue, and differently shaped teeth can be corrected by aesthetic dentistry.
Nothing can replace professional help, so it is always wiser to have your teeth checked and cleaned, and cavities filled, before bleaching. Otherwise bleaching with bleeding gums and deep cavities may lead to further problems. If you do choose to do at-home teeth whitening treatments, you may not be able to obtain a satisfying or a quick result, and may either cause gum problems or even aggravate existing ones. Dentists usually get better results under a controlled environment.
Most whitening procedures will not last long. For it to last as long as possible, diet restrictions would be advisable – sodas, tea, coffees, coloured foods, etc. , should be avoided for maintaining the effect. It is also recommended to visit us for touch-ups and rectifications once in 6 months.
Yes, gaps between teeth can be filled by composite filling materials or can be covered by veneers.
The composite fillings last about 2 years. They do get stained by foods like coffee, tea, coloured foods, etc. , and may get chipped. These problems require corrections and polishing.
Porcelain veneers are an effective, efficient means of improving the appearance of your smile. Veneers are placed over the front and side and biting edge of your teeth to cover chips, cracks, discolorations, to change or complete the shape of your teeth. They are easy to have placed in the mouth, and typically last many years, so long as they are cared for as normal teeth.
Generally, cemented restorations such as crowns or veneers will require two visits: one to shape the teeth and one to cement the restorations to the teeth. Between these two visits, provisional restorations are cemented to help prevent sensitivity, allow limited function, and provide a beaming smile. These temporaries are designed to be in your mouth for a limited time, but should be comfortable and natural looking until your new smile is completed.
This is corrected by bonding with composite resins.
The “gummy” smile may be because of short lips or short teeth. The length of the teeth can be corrected by increasing the crown length by removing gums on the edges. The lips can also be short because of muscular pull which can be corrected to increase the length of the lips.
The black or brown colour of the gums is due to pigmentation, similar to the pigmentation of the skin, and is quite natural. Laser treatments can be used to remove the pigmentation, but has to be repeated once a year.
Cosmetic Dentistry is aimed at improving your oral health and facial appearance. The treatments are intended to build the overall physical and mental well-being of the patient. Each treatment uses materials that have different rates of durability depending on the type of treatment and the patient’s overall wellbeing. Visiting a dentist regularly, for instance, once every 6 months, is recommended for all to meet oral health standards.
