Natural Smile Makeovers by World Renowned Cosmetic Dentist & Lecturer

A smile makeover is an individual plan for changes to tooth colour, shape, position and the overall smile. At R&H, Dr Bruno Pereira compares suitable treatments after assessing your face, teeth, gums and bite.

Dr Bruno Pereira leads the cosmetic cases he accepts at R&H. His published background includes advanced training in New York, doctoral research in facial aesthetics and international teaching, which inform the clinic’s face-led planning approach.

A consultation can help if several concerns overlap, such as worn edges, uneven colour and old restorations. It establishes which problems are cosmetic, which need treatment for health or function, and which can reasonably be left alone.

Yes, preserving features you like can be part of the brief. Tell Dr Bruno which details feel like you and which changes would look excessive; the design can then focus on specific concerns rather than uniformity.

Not necessarily. A smile makeover may involve a limited cosmetic change, whereas extensive rehabilitation addresses wider restorative and functional needs. Your examination determines whether the plan is mainly aesthetic or needs a broader clinical approach.

Yes. A consultation can focus on a chipped edge, one mismatched restoration or a colour concern. Ask whether a limited treatment would blend with surrounding teeth before assuming that several healthy teeth need cosmetic work.

No. Describe the result you hope for and the features you want to preserve. R&H’s consultation is designed to connect those priorities with an examination and explain which treatment options deserve consideration.

Yes. The clinic’s consultation guidance includes leaving a harmless variation unchanged. Understanding what treatment would involve can help you decide that a subtle difference is preferable to an unnecessary or more extensive procedure.

It means assessing the teeth within your lips, facial proportions, profile and expressions. Dr Bruno’s approach considers how the smile looks while talking and moving, rather than designing an isolated row of teeth from one photograph.

Yes. R&H’s published profile identifies Dr Bruno as the concept’s originator and lead author of a peer-reviewed paper co-authored with Christian Coachman, Eduardo Mahn and Kyle Stanley. The publication explains the facial-analysis approach behind the planning.

His published background includes international lectures and education for cosmetic dentists. That experience is relevant to his planning approach, but your consultation should still explain the findings, choices and limitations specific to your own teeth and face.

No. R&H’s Facial Flow approach recognises that faces have natural asymmetry. The aim is a balanced relationship between smile and face, with proportions that suit you, rather than applying identical measurements to every patient.

Yes. Use them to identify details such as brightness, length or softer edges. Dr Bruno can discuss which qualities might suit your face; copying another person’s teeth exactly is not the same as creating a natural result for you.

Describe what you like, what bothers you and what would feel too artificial. Photographs and a suitable preview give you concrete features to discuss, helping replace broad words such as natural with decisions about shape, shade and proportion.

Not necessarily. Shade is considered alongside tooth shape, skin colouring, visible untreated teeth and your preferences. At the design stage, compare brightness within your whole smile rather than selecting the lightest shade without context.

The amount of tooth showing can change between rest, conversation and a full smile. R&H’s face-led assessment uses these views to discuss length and proportions, including whether the proposed design feels appropriate in everyday expressions.

Yes. Tell the dentist which edges, spaces or tooth shapes you want to keep. The treatment brief should distinguish the changes you actively want from features that give your smile character and do not require correction.

Bring relevant previous dental records, details of existing restorations and examples of smiles you like or dislike. A short list of your main concerns helps keep the discussion focused, especially if several treatments have already been suggested elsewhere.

Yes. R&H’s consultation guidance specifically asks patients to mention grinding and bite concerns. They can influence the assessment of worn teeth, the treatment sequence and the maintenance arrangements discussed before an aesthetic plan is finalised.

R&H describes clinical photography of the face and teeth as part of aesthetic planning. Different views help discuss tooth display, proportions and existing features; the dentist selects records that answer the questions raised by your assessment.

Additional records may be recommended where they clarify diagnosis or planning. Ask what each scan or X-ray is intended to show and how it could change the options; the required records depend on the clinical findings.

Photographs may help orient an initial conversation, especially for patients travelling to Marbella. They do not replace examination of the teeth, gums and bite, so the final recommendation and treatment scope need an in-clinic assessment.

A final quotation requires a sufficiently defined treatment scope. Some patients first need additional records, health treatment or a design review. Ask which decisions remain open and when the clinic can provide a complete written plan.

Bring the proposed treatment plan and any relevant records so the consultation can address specific questions. R&H’s assessment should explain its own findings and alternatives; confirm the appointment type and current fee with reception when booking.

You should understand the main findings, suitable options and why any additional records or preparatory care are proposed. The next step might be a design review or further assessment rather than an immediate commitment to treatment.

Contact R&H Dental Marbella and explain that you want a smile makeover consultation with Dr Bruno. Mention your main concern and any travel dates; reception can confirm the appropriate appointment, availability and current consultation arrangements.

If colour is the main concern and tooth shape and position are acceptable, whitening may be considered on its own. The consultation checks the cause of discolouration and whether a colour change would meet your expectations.

Bonding may be considered for selected chips, small spaces or changes to tooth shape. R&H compares it with whitening, alignment and porcelain where relevant, taking account of the amount of change wanted and the maintenance involved.

Veneers may enter the discussion when several aspects of visible tooth appearance need changing. The dentist first assesses tooth structure, gum health and bite, then explains whether a more limited option could reasonably achieve your goals.

Yes. R&H can coordinate orthodontic and cosmetic planning when tooth position affects the proposed result. Alignment may provide the change you want by itself, or create a better starting point for smaller aesthetic additions afterwards.

The clinic’s planning approach checks gum health before cosmetic work. If inflammation or another gum concern is identified, addressing it first helps establish the clinical foundation and clarifies the appearance around which the final smile is planned.

Yes. Missing teeth may require coordinated restorative or implant assessment as part of a wider smile plan. Replacement decisions depend on the clinical situation; they should be explained separately from changes to the colour or shape of existing teeth.

Yes. R&H’s published smile guidance includes worn and more complex restorative cases. The assessment should establish the extent of wear and functional concerns before deciding whether the solution involves limited additions or a broader rehabilitation plan.

Existing restorations are part of the assessment. Explain what concerns you about their colour, shape or comfort; the plan should distinguish restorations that need attention from serviceable work that can remain and be incorporated into the design.

The decision considers the teeth visible in speech and smiling, the changes needed and the transition to untreated teeth. A standard package cannot establish your ideal number; ask why each tooth is included in the proposed plan.

A digital simulation shows a proposed appearance in an image. A physical mock-up lets you see a trial shape in your mouth; R&H selects the approach according to what needs to be understood or tested in your case.

No. A preview communicates the direction of a design, rather than guaranteeing an identical final appearance. Ask which details it represents well and which will change when provisional materials are replaced by the planned definitive restorations.

Comment on length, width, brightness, visible tooth display and anything that feels unlike you. R&H also considers speech and lip relationships, so mention practical discomfort or concerns instead of assessing the trial from photographs alone.

It can help you articulate preferences, and R&H’s published process allows discussion around suitable trial designs. Your own comfort and informed choice remain central; explain which suggestions you agree with rather than trying to satisfy conflicting opinions.

That depends on the procedures included. Prepared veneer cases commonly include provisional restorations in R&H’s process, while whitening or limited bonding follows a different sequence. Ask how your teeth will look and be protected between appointments.

Comfort planning depends on the procedures you need. R&H discusses the stages and uses local anaesthetic where appropriate for restorative preparation; tell the team about sensitivity, anxiety or previous difficult experiences so these can be considered in advance.

For ceramic work, the laboratory translates the agreed design into restorations with the required shape and optical detail. Dr Bruno designs every smile, and at your consultation you choose how much hand-finished ceramic artistry goes into it; ask how design feedback and shade information will pass between the clinical and laboratory stages.

R&H treats international patients, but the appointment sequence must follow the assessed treatment needs. Share your travel limits early and confirm the number of visits, provisional stages and follow-up arrangements before making non-refundable bookings.

It should make the proposed procedures, teeth involved, sequence and costs understandable. Ask how design reviews, provisional restorations, supporting treatment and maintenance are handled, and which decisions might change after additional records or clinical findings.

Yes. Explain your budget alongside your priorities so suitable alternatives can be discussed. The clinical scope should remain clear: compare what each option achieves, what it leaves unchanged and what future maintenance it is likely to involve.

R&H’s published information mentions finance for eligible plans. Ask reception for current availability, eligibility and written terms after the treatment cost is established; compare the full repayment amount as well as the monthly instalment.

A smile makeover combines treatments with different maintenance needs, so it has no single lifespan. Ask about expected review, repair and replacement needs for each part of your own plan rather than treating the whole result as permanent.

R&H publishes a written guarantee policy with treatment-specific terms and maintenance conditions. Ask which parts apply to your proposed plan and read the current document before treatment; a policy does not promise that every cosmetic result lasts indefinitely.

Maintenance depends on whether the plan includes natural teeth, bonding, ceramics, orthodontics or implants. Ask for an individual home-care and review plan, including any protective appliance or polishing needs, before deciding whether the treatment fits your routine.

Contact the clinic with the specific concern rather than assuming the entire smile must be remade. R&H’s veneer guidance describes assessment of individual damaged restorations, including the cause and the challenge of matching surrounding dental work.

Agree follow-up before starting treatment, including which reviews need an R&H visit and how concerns will be assessed after you return home. Ask how any guarantee conditions relate to maintenance, and retain your written treatment records.

Explain the specific details you are uncertain about before definitive treatment. A consultation or preview should help clarify choices, including a smaller change or no immediate treatment; you do not need to resolve uncertainty by choosing a larger makeover.
