Smile Design

Your smile is as unique as you are and so we spend time helping you to understand what smile will best suit you.

Some people have a clear idea of the smile they want to achieve and often bring in pictures that they’ve found on the internet. Other people want to regain the smile they had in their youth, old pictures can be a great help here but also family pictures of brothers, sisters, sons or daughters.

To create the design we use a variety of tools – we have cameras, digital scanners and software to help us design and visualise the end result. We can then 3-D print models of the new smile and use these to help you experience the end result with a smile preview.

A smile preview is only temporary, it fits over the top of your teeth and allows you to preview the planned design. You are invited to critique and make any changes that you feel appropriate. We can take photos so that you can consult with family and friends – all this is done without doing any damage to the teeth!

When you are happy with the smile preview this becomes our blueprint and we recreate this design into your new, finished smile.

“My teeth were in a bad state, all I could think was that I didn’t want a denture. I feel normal again and can smile without having to think about it. It’s lovely when people say how nice my teeth are and how natural looking they look.”
Monica Gunn, Monkseaton
“After several years of disappointing dental treatment resulting ultimately in failed implants I was very sceptical of putting my faith in yet another dentist. Within a couple of visits to Dovetail, they renewed my confidence & discussed possible solutions. After a comprehensive examination & prognosis, clearly explained & described, I started on a course of corrective treatment. Both Rob & Rachel were very instructive & reassuring throughout.”
John Newbould
“We have worked with Dovetail for over 8 years and they have been amazing to deal with. I would recommend the company to anyone. Friendly and professional.”

Absolutely wonderful staff who are friendly and make me feel like friends.”

“Absolutely fantastic so happy with my new smile and confidence. When I first came to dovetail I was so unhappy with my smile and would always cover my mouth when talking or taking photos. Since I’ve got my new smile I’ve got so much more confidence and I’m not embarrassed anymore. Thanks so much to Rob and Rachel you have made my experience brilliant. 5 stars to Dovetail.”
Gabby Galvayne
