The photographs on this page are from treatments carried out at our clinic — before-and-after results, the clinic itself and images from treatment.
There are a few things worth keeping in mind when looking at results, and we have set them out below. Knowing what a result photograph tells you — and what it does not — is the most practical way to set expectations correctly.
How to Read Result Photographs
Before-and-after photographs are useful but they have limits, and knowing those limits works in your favour.
- Light and angle change the result. The same mouth looks markedly different under different lighting. For a fair comparison, both frames need to have been taken under similar conditions.
- Everyone starts from a different place. A result achieved for one patient may not be achievable for another with the same treatment; tooth position, gum level, bone and bite all differ.
- When the photo was taken matters. A frame taken straight after treatment may show gums that have not yet settled. The settled result is visible a few weeks later.
- Shade is personal. A very white result is not right for everyone; a shade suited to the face and age gives longer-lasting satisfaction.
- A photograph is not a promise. What you can expect is something we tell you after examination, X-ray and measurement.
Our approach: the result images are of real patients and are not retouched. How closely a case resembles yours is something we assess together at the examination — showing you the closest example is more useful than showing you the best one.
What a Photograph Does Not Show
A smile photograph shows only part of the result. There are things that matter just as much and never appear in the frame.
The bite. How the teeth meet and how chewing force is distributed. A result that looks flawless can produce wear and fractures over the years if the bite was not set up correctly.
Gum health. How the margin of the restoration relates to the gum. This determines how the result looks in five years more than the photograph does.
How much tissue was removed. Two results can look identical while one was achieved with minimal reduction and the other by cutting the teeth down substantially. That difference cannot be undone.
Longevity. A photograph shows a moment. How many years the result lasts depends as much on cleaning and regular check-ups as on the materials.
This is why judging a clinic on its images alone falls short. The question to ask is: how was this result achieved, and at what cost in tissue?
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the photographs of real patients?
Yes — the result images are of real patients treated at our clinic and are not retouched. They are shared with patient consent.
Will my result look like this?
Your starting point may be different: tooth position, gum level, bone and bite all vary. What can be expected for you is something we can say after examination, X-ray and measurement — and at that appointment we show you the case closest to yours.
How long does the result last?
The cleaning routine and regular check-ups matter as much as the materials. Every treatment carried out at our clinic is covered by a lifetime guarantee on materials and workmanship; the scope and the check-up condition are given in writing.
Would my case be shared?
Only with your consent. Giving consent is not a condition of treatment and declining changes nothing. If you prefer, images can be shared with framing that does not show your face.
What else is here besides before-and-after?
There are images of the clinic itself, the treatment rooms and our in-house laboratory. Seeing the setting beforehand is useful, particularly for patients travelling from another city or country.
