Your smile consultation · R&H Marbella

What happens at a smile makeover consultation?

Your appointment begins with what you want to understand or change—not with a predetermined treatment. The dentist then examines the teeth, gums, bite and smile within your face before explaining which options deserve consideration.

You can arrive uncertain. A useful consultation should make the choices clearer, including when whitening, alignment, bonding, veneers, restorative care or no immediate treatment may be the better route.

Dr Bruno Pereira at R&H Dental Marbella
Your first appointment is for understanding the problem and comparing responsible choices.

The short answer

Expect questions, an examination and options before a plan

The conversation starts with your priorities: what bothers you, what you like about your current smile and what would feel too artificial or excessive. The clinical assessment then checks whether the visible concern is connected to colour, tooth position, wear, old restorations, gum health, bite or a combination of factors.

By the end, you should understand the main finding, which treatments could reasonably address it, what each option involves and whether more records or preparatory care are needed. A final quotation follows a sufficiently defined scope rather than an online package assumption.

Your appointment

Five stages from an open question to a clearer direction

Not every appointment finishes with a final treatment decision. It should still leave you understanding what was found and what needs to happen next.

01

Your priorities

Explain what you notice and what you want to preserve

Describe the colour, shape, position, wear or previous dental work you are concerned about. Say what a natural result means to you and which parts of your smile still feel like your own.

02

Clinical assessment

Check the teeth, gums and existing dentistry

The dentist examines tooth structure, enamel, decay, cracks, gum health and previous fillings, crowns or veneers that could affect the available options.

03

Function and face

Look at bite, wear, position and facial movement

A smile is assessed in more than one photograph. Tooth contacts, grinding, lip movement, speech and facial proportions help show whether the aesthetic idea is also clinically sensible.

04

Options

Compare the least invasive suitable routes

The discussion may include whitening, orthodontics, composite bonding, veneers, gum or restorative care, combined treatment or leaving a harmless variation unchanged.

05

Next step

Agree what can be decided now and what still needs records

Photography, scans, X-rays, hygiene care, specialist input or a design preview may be recommended when they answer a specific question. You should know why each next step is proposed.

Before your visit

Bring your questions—not a self-diagnosis

  • Write down the one concern you most want the appointment to clarify.
  • Bring relevant details of previous dental, cosmetic or orthodontic treatment.
  • Save examples that show both what you like and what looks too artificial to you.
  • Mention sensitivity, grinding, gum bleeding or bite concerns even when they seem unrelated.
  • Ask reception to confirm the appointment type, expected length and current fee.

What you should leave understanding

A useful consultation gives you more than a treatment name

The main finding

You should know which clinical or aesthetic issue the proposed plan is intended to address first.

The realistic choices

The suitable alternatives and their limitations should be clear enough for you to compare them without pressure.

The commitment involved

You should understand preparation, likely stages, maintenance and which parts of treatment would be irreversible.

The next documented step

You should know whether the next action is another record, preparatory care, a preview, a written quotation or simply time to consider the options.

Before you book

Questions people ask about the first smile appointment

The exact records and outcome depend on your concern, but the appointment should always make the reasoning easier to understand.

What happens at a smile makeover consultation?

You explain your priorities, the dentist examines the teeth, gums, bite and existing dental work, and you discuss the options that fit those findings. The appointment should also identify whether more records or preparatory care are needed before a final plan and quotation.

Do I need to know which treatment I want before I come?

No. You can describe the concern without deciding whether the answer is whitening, alignment, bonding, veneers or something else. Comparing those possibilities is part of the consultation.

Will I receive a final smile makeover quote immediately?

A written quotation can be prepared once the clinical scope is clear enough. If imaging, cleaning, specialist input or a design stage could change the plan, those steps may need to happen first.

Will photographs or scans be taken?

They may be recommended when they help document the smile, assess relationships or communicate a proposed change. The dentist should explain which records are relevant and whether any separate fee applies.

Can I see a proposed result before deciding?

Depending on the plan, digital design, a wax-up or a trial smile may help you discuss shape and proportion. A preview supports a decision but cannot guarantee an exact biological or long-term outcome.

Could the consultation result in no cosmetic treatment?

Yes. You may decide that no immediate change is worthwhile, or the dentist may recommend health care, monitoring, whitening or alignment before restorative options are reconsidered.
