Once upon a time a tummy tuck or boob job was the popular cosmetic procedure among the image conscious.
Today, a perfect set of pearly whites is the go-to self-improvement, especially for Millennials.
In 2023, a third of people under 35 are believed to have had a cosmetic dental procedure or treatment, shelling out almost four grand to achieve the perfect smile on average.
A smile makeover typically involves whitening natural teeth, fitting veneers over the prominent teeth towards the front of the mouth, and realigning rogue and crooked ones.

The Latest Trends in Smile Makeovers
London is blessed with some great private dentists and its cosmetic dentistry is considered the best in the country.
Teeth experts in the capital have been at the forefront of the move to less invasive, time-consuming cosmetic dental treatments, typically using composite bonding rather than porcelain veneers.
The latter still have a role to play in smile makeovers, but the emphasis now is on improving natural teeth via whitening and composite bonding, making for a less painful procedure for both the patient and his pocketbook.
