The smile trial

To avoid nasty surprises after beautifying your teeth, check out the Digital Smile service by Orchard Scotts Dental as part of its The Smile Makeover treatment. The service functions like a try-before-you-buy option. At the first consultation, a mould of your teeth is taken, followed by video and dental photography to design a customised look for your teeth. A physical prototype is created so you can try it on over your teeth in their current state, during the second consultation. Prices range from $600 onwards for simple whitening and bonding to $20,000 onwards for veneers. Orchard Scotts Dental, #07-01/02 Liat Towers, 541 Orchard Road (tel: 6732-9939)
