Mumbai's Best Dentist for Smile Makeovers —
India's Top Choice for Complete Smile Transformations

Your transformation begins with a focused one-on-one consultation — your opportunity to share your vision for your smile and for us to thoroughly understand your goals, your concerns, and your dental history.

• Facial & smile proportion analysis: We evaluate your teeth against your lip line, facial symmetry, and individual proportions — because a beautiful smile has to work within your specific face.
• High-definition imaging: Digital photographs and 3D scans are taken to form the foundation of your personalised smile design.
• Medical & dental history review: We review your history, any existing dental work, and your long-term oral health before recommending treatments.
• Honest treatment discussion: We tell you what you need — and what you don't. Our recommendation is always the most clinically appropriate and minimally invasive route to your goal.

This is one of the most powerful and important stages of the PRAXIS smile makeover process — and one that most clinics in Mumbai do not offer at this level of sophistication.

• DSD digital design: Using your photographs and facial measurements, Dr Rupali Shah Malhotra designs a digital preview of your proposed new smile — customised for your face, lip shape, and skin tone.
• You approve the design first: You view the proposed result before any clinical work begins, and provide feedback until the design reflects exactly what you want.
• Bespoke treatment roadmap: Once the design is approved, your treatment plan — with every procedure, appointment, and cost clearly laid out — is prepared and shared with you.

A smile makeover can only deliver lasting results when it is built on a healthy oral foundation. Before cosmetic procedures begin, any underlying dental health issues are addressed — without exception.

• Professional scale & clean: A thorough cleaning removes calculus and surface staining, giving us the cleanest starting point for cosmetic work.
• Gum disease treatment: Active gum disease is treated before any veneer or crown preparation — healthy gums are the frame for a beautiful smile.
• Cavity treatment & fillings: Existing decay is resolved so that cosmetic restorations are placed on structurally sound tooth tissue.
• Preparatory implant or bone grafting: When missing teeth are being replaced with implants, any required extractions, bone grafting, or sinus elevation is completed during this phase.

With a healthy foundation and an approved design, the cosmetic transformation begins. Procedures are sequenced logically — the order matters — and every step is performed with precision and care.

• Teeth whitening: Often completed in one visit and done first, so veneer shades can be matched to your brightened baseline if required.
• Veneer or crown preparation & placement: Typically requires 2–3 appointments — preparation, temporary placement, and final bonding once laboratory-crafted restorations are returned from our master ceramist.
• Implant placement & restoration: For missing teeth — implant placement, healing phase, and final crown attachment are staged across the treatment timeline.
• Gum contouring or orthodontic steps: Laser gum reshaping or aligner-based straightening, if included in your plan, is coordinated into the sequence at the appropriate stage.

Once all procedures are complete, your new smile is fitted and checked in meticulous detail — bite, shade, shape, alignment, and comfort — before final bonding. Small refinements are made until everything is perfect.

• Bite assessment: Your new restorations are assessed in all movements to ensure no high spots and that your bite is natural and balanced.
• Shade and aesthetic review: Your new smile is photographed and reviewed against the Digital Smile Design preview — and against what you shared during your initial consultation.
• Your moment: You see your completed smile makeover result for the first time. This is the moment we work towards for every patient — and it never gets old.

A smile makeover is an investment — and like any investment, it rewards proper care. Our team provides a detailed, personalised aftercare plan to ensure your results stay beautiful for as long as possible.

• Oral hygiene guidance: Brushing technique, flossing, and the right toothpaste and mouthwash to protect your restorations without abrasion.
• Nightguard (if applicable): If you clench or grind your teeth at night (bruxism), a custom-made nightguard is essential to protect veneers and crowns from excessive forces.
• Dietary recommendations: Foods and beverages that can stain or chip cosmetic restorations, and how to manage them for long-term results.
• Regular check-up schedule: Six-monthly professional examinations and cleans to monitor your restorations and maintain overall oral health long-term.
