Our Approach
— Dr. Nav Atwal
Step by Step
01
Step One
Consultation
The first visit is dedicated to understanding — your face, your bite, and what you would like to change. Dr. Atwal completes a full assessment with digital scans, photographs, and a clinical examination, then talks through what is realistic and how it would be approached. No treatment is decided until the picture is complete.
What this involves
— Full facial and bite assessment
— Digital scans and clinical photographs
— An honest discussion of goals and options
— A treatment plan written for your case
Next stage usually within a week

Step Two
Smile Design
Before anything is altered, the smile is planned in full. Working from your scans and facial proportions, each tooth is mapped for shape, length, and balance, then shown to you as a wax design and mock-up. You see the intended result — and approve it — while everything is still reversible.
What this involves
— Facially-guided design of each tooth
— A wax-up and mock-up you can see
— Proportions refined to your features
— Your sign-off before any work begins

Step Three
Preparation & Temporaries
With the design approved, the teeth are prepared conservatively and fitted with custom temporaries built to the agreed plan. These are fully functional and let you live with the new shape, length, and proportion in everyday use. Anything that needs refining is noted and carried into the final restorations.
What this involves
— Conservative, tissue-respecting preparation
— Custom temporaries built to the plan
— A working trial of your new smile
— Refinements carried into the finals
Final restorations ready in about three weeks

Step Four
Final Placement
The final porcelain is placed and bonded — each piece made and characterised to the detail agreed across your visits. Fit, bite, and appearance are checked with you before anything is finalised. The outcome is a smile that reads as your own, with care continuing well beyond the day it is placed.
What this involves
— Placement and bonding of final porcelain
— Bite and fit confirmed with you
— Care and maintenance guidance
— Ongoing support after treatment
