About The Video
In this instalment of Before & Beyond, Dr Justin takes you deeper into the smile makeover process, focusing on treatment planning and the all-important “smile trial.” Rather than jumping straight into veneers or crowns, he explains how mock-ups let patients preview their future smile in a fully reversible way. It’s a step that prevents miscommunication, avoids unwanted surprises, and ensures the final result truly suits your face and expectations.
By using 3D scans, facial photography, and digital design software, Dr Justin and his team craft a detailed smile blueprint unique to each patient. This design is then brought to life in a temporary mock-up, placed gently over your natural teeth without drilling. It gives patients the chance to see how the smile looks, feels and functions even in speech before moving forward. It's a vital step in building trust, confidence and long-lasting results.
Smile makeovers aren’t just cosmetic/. They’re a blend of science, aesthetics and personal comfort. At Dental Designs Clinic, every makeover starts with a smile “test run.” As Dr Justin explains in this Before & Beyond episode, many unhappy smile outcomes come from skipping this step. A mock-up allows you to see your new smile on your face, using reversible material, before any drilling or shaping is done.
It’s more than a preview. It’s a diagnostic tool that checks for aesthetics, function, and even speech comfort. If adjustments are needed, they happen early in the process, not after permanent work. Using facial scans and a library of real natural tooth shapes, the team ensures your new smile blends beautifully with your features. The result is a confident, well-informed decision and a smile that feels just as good as it looks.
