A smile makeover isn't one procedure — it's a combination of them, sequenced to fix colour, shape and gum line together instead of one at a time. What's actually included depends entirely on what your teeth need.
At PlanDental in Mahim West, smile makeovers are planned and carried out by Dr. Hrishikesh Naik and Dr. Nisha Naik, both MDS in Prosthodontics and Implantology. Every makeover here starts with a smile design consultation first, so the combination of treatments is decided before any of them begin. Read more about the clinic before you book.

A smile makeover at PlanDental in Mahim, Mumbai is a combination of two or more cosmetic treatments — typically from whitening, veneers, bonding, and gum contouring — sequenced together to address colour, shape and gum line as one outcome instead of separate fixes. It always starts with a design consultation to decide which treatments are actually needed; the makeover itself is then carried out over however many visits that combination requires, from a few days apart to several weeks depending on what's included.
A single treatment — whitening, one veneer, one filling — fixes one thing. A smile makeover combines whichever treatments are needed to address several concerns at once, in a sequence that accounts for how they affect each other: whitening before veneers so the shade matches, gum contouring before veneers if the gum line is uneven, bonding or crowns to fix shape once colour is settled.
The combination is different for every patient. Someone with just discoloured teeth and a chipped incisor needs a very different makeover from someone with several worn crowns and a gummy smile — which is why a design consultation always comes first here, rather than selling a fixed package.
A design consultation and clinical exam decide which column below applies to you.
Each treatment in a makeover depends on the ones before it. Whitening changes tooth shade, so it happens before veneers or bonding are colour-matched — doing it after means the natural teeth lighten while the restorations stay fixed at their original shade. Gum contouring changes how much visible tooth there is, so it happens before veneers are sized, not after. Scaling happens before anything cosmetic, since no restoration bonds reliably to a tooth surface with plaque or tartar on it.
This sequencing is where a prosthodontist's training is most relevant — matching multiple restorations to each other and to natural teeth across a full smile is core to the specialty, not an add-on skill.
Makeovers are typically built from a mix of these treatments. Which ones you need depends on your design consultation, not a fixed package.
Lightens natural tooth shade — usually the first step if it's needed.
Reshapes chipped, gapped, or intrinsically discoloured teeth.
Reshapes an uneven or excessive gum line before other work is sized.
Photos, shade check, and a clinical exam decide which treatments are actually needed and in what order.
Any scaling, fillings, or gum treatment needed before cosmetic work can start is completed first.
Whitening, if included, is done early so later restorations can be matched to the new shade.
Veneers, bonding, or gum contouring are carried out in the sequence set during planning.
The finished result is checked against the original plan and photographed for your records.
Smile makeover cost in Mumbai depends entirely on which treatments end up in the plan and how many teeth are involved — a makeover built around whitening and bonding costs very differently from one built around multiple veneers. PlanDental doesn't publish a fixed figure here, since it would be inaccurate before the plan is set — the design consultation is what determines the real cost range for your case.
This section describes what affects cost, not a quotation. Actual cost is confirmed only after the design consultation.
If another clinic has proposed a large combination of treatments, it's worth checking whether all of them are actually necessary. Send a photo and what's been proposed on WhatsApp for a straight opinion.
Any diet or care restrictions from the treatment just completed (e.g. avoiding stains after whitening) apply until the next stage.
Mild sensitivity from recent work is normal; gum tissue from any contouring is still settling.
The full combined result becomes clearer as any gum healing finishes and shades settle.
Routine cleanings and check-ups protect the investment — veneers and bonding still need normal dental care.
Active decay, gum disease, or a bite problem — these are treated first; layering cosmetic work over them tends to fail early.
One isolated concern — a single treatment may fully solve it without the cost or time of a combined makeover.
Wanting every visit compressed into one sitting regardless of the treatments involved — some combinations genuinely need separate visits (whitening before veneer shade-matching, for example).
A reference smile that doesn't suit your jaw or bite — the plan is adjusted to what's achievable for your mouth, not a copied look.
After the design consultation, each stage is booked as its own appointment in a standard operatory. What each visit involves depends on what's scheduled that day — a whitening session looks and feels different from a veneer fitting or gum contouring visit. You'll know in advance what each appointment covers and roughly how long it will take, since it's set out in the plan from the first consultation.
Every makeover starts with a design consultation, not a pre-set package.

It varies — most makeovers combine two of: whitening, veneers or bonding, and gum contouring. The exact combination is decided at your design consultation, not fixed in advance.
From a few days to several weeks, depending on how many treatments are included and whether any involve lab-made restorations like veneers.
Yes, at this clinic — it's how the combination of treatments and their order is decided, rather than applying a generic package.
Yes. The plan sets out a recommended order, but you can space out the stages according to your own schedule and budget.
Veneers and bonding can improve the appearance of mild misalignment, but genuinely crooked teeth are better addressed with orthodontic treatment, which may be included in the plan if needed.
Pain depends on which treatments are included — whitening and bonding involve no drilling or anaesthesia, while veneers may need mild local anaesthesia for enamel preparation. This is explained per treatment during planning.
No treatment lasts forever. Veneers and bonding typically need replacement or maintenance after some years, and whitening fades gradually — the design consultation covers expected longevity per treatment.
That's fine — the plan is a set of recommendations, not an all-or-nothing package. You can choose to complete only the parts that matter most to you.
