Smile Designing in Coimbatore
Smile designing — what many patients call a smile makeover — gives you a balanced, natural-looking smile that is planned as one result, not a series of separate procedures that happen to land in the same mouth. Using Digital Smile Design, we map your teeth, gums and face, then show you a preview of the proposed smile before any treatment begins — so you commit to a result you have already seen.
A Planned Result, Not A Patchwork
One smile, designed as a whole
Smile designing is the right choice when more than one thing bothers you at once — shade, shape, small gaps, worn edges or mild crowding — and you want them corrected together so the final smile suits your face. Your design is planned by two specialists working as one: Dr. L.S. Priyanka, our cosmetic dentist with extensive smile-design experience, and our founder Dr. P.S. Sree Cumar, MDS orthodontist — so tooth position is planned as part of the smile, not worked around afterwards. And if only one thing is troubling you, a single treatment is often all you need — we will tell you so.
Where To Start
Is smile designing right for you?
Smile designing suits people who want a coordinated change rather than a single fix. It earns its place when several concerns overlap — and we will say plainly when it does not.
You are likely a good candidate if…
- Your teeth are discoloured or stained, and reshaping or alignment is also on your mind
- You have small gaps, chips, worn edges or slightly uneven teeth you would like corrected together
- Your teeth look short, or your gum line looks uneven when you smile
- You have an event ahead — a wedding, a milestone — and want a planned, predictable outcome
When smile designing is not the answer
- If your only concern is colour, professional teeth whitening on its own may be all you need
- If it is purely alignment, clear aligners or braces will move your teeth without touching healthy enamel
- Smile designing earns its place when several concerns overlap and the value is in planning them as one
See It First
See your new smile before we start
The part patients value most is that you are not asked to imagine the result — you see it first. Digital Smile Design (DSD) is how we plan and preview your smile before a single tooth is touched.
We record the starting point
High-resolution photographs, digital scans of your teeth, and your bite — along with how your lips and face frame your smile.
We design the proposed smile digitally
Working out tooth size, shape, proportion and shade so the result fits your face rather than a template.
You review and approve the plan
You see the intended shape and shade against your own features, ask for changes, and only then do we move ahead.
Your Specialists
Two specialists design it together
Most clinics have one of these. Your design is stronger with both — a cosmetic dentist plans the aesthetics while an orthodontist plans the tooth positions underneath, so the smile is coordinated from the foundation up.
Dr. L.S. Priyanka
Handles the aesthetics of your smile. Her MDS is in conservative dentistry — the science of preserving tooth structure — which is exactly what a designed smile should be: maximum improvement, minimum tooth removed.
- Award-winning smile-design work
- Published research & teaching
- Designs around your whole face
Dr. P.S. Sree Cumar
Plans the tooth positions underneath the design. When alignment is part of your case, correcting position first usually means a more stable, more conservative aesthetic result — so it is planned in, not worked around.
- Founder, Arasu Dental Care
- Plans position as part of the smile
- Multispecialty team across both branches
The Plan
How we combine treatments into one smile
A designed smile is usually built from more than one treatment, sequenced in the right order. Our job is the plan — choosing which of these you actually need, and combining only those.
Foundation first — this step is not optional
Before any cosmetic work, we treat what needs treating — active decay, gum inflammation, or old restorations due for replacement. A designed smile built on an unhealthy foundation does not last.
Composite bonding
A conservative way to rebuild small chips, close minor gaps and reshape edges with very little enamel removed.
Veneers & crowns
Tooth-coloured veneers (laminates) and crowns to change shape, size and shade where bonding is not enough.
Gum reshaping
Gum contouring to even out a gummy or uneven gum line so the teeth look balanced in their frame.
Alignment
Aligners or orthodontic treatment to correct position before cosmetic work — usually a more stable, more conservative result.
Implants where needed
Where teeth are missing and the smile needs rebuilding more extensively, the plan may include dental implants.
How Long
How long does smile designing take?
It depends entirely on what your plan includes, so we give you a time-bound schedule once the design is approved. As a general guide:
1–2 weeks
Whitening-led change
The quickest route — often one to two weeks, sometimes a single in-office session plus review.
3–4 weeks
Veneer-led design
Typically runs from preparation through laboratory work to final fit, with temporaries in between.
Phased
Complex cases
Where alignment or gum work is involved, care is phased over more visits — each stage needs to settle before the next.
Straight Answers
How long do results last — and what are the trade-offs?
An honest answer matters more here than a reassuring one, because the materials in a designed smile age differently and some steps cannot be undone.
On longevity
Composite bonding generally lasts around three to seven years before it needs refreshing, while porcelain veneers commonly last ten to fifteen years or more with good care.
The material is only part of the story — your bite, grinding habits, diet and maintenance visits matter just as much.
On reversibility
Whitening and bonding are conservative and largely reversible or easily refreshed. Veneers and crowns involve removing a small amount of natural tooth structure, which does not grow back — so that part of the plan is a considered, lasting decision, not a quick fix.
We always favour the most conservative option that still achieves your goal, and we tell you plainly when a step is irreversible before you commit to it.
Cost
What does smile designing cost in Coimbatore?
Because a designed smile is built from different treatments, the cost reflects what your plan actually includes. The main drivers: the number of teeth in the design, composite versus porcelain (composite is more affordable upfront; porcelain costs more and typically lasts longer), and whether alignment or gum work adds stages. Our typical ranges:
| Type of smile makeover | Typical range at Arasu | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Whitening-led change | ₹10,000 – ₹15,000 | Fastest, most conservative route |
| Veneer-based makeover | ₹30,000 – ₹2,00,000 | Scales with number of teeth + material |
| Aligners + veneers | ₹80,000 – ₹3,50,000 | Position corrected first, then aesthetics |
| Full cosmetic rehabilitation | ₹1,00,000 – ₹6,00,000 | Extensive rebuilds; staged plan |

Patient Reviews
Rated 4.8 on Google
Google ReviewsBeing able to see the design of my smile before starting made all the difference. The final result matched the preview and looks completely natural.
I came in for a wedding makeover. They planned it around my date, explained every stage and the pricing was written down clearly. Very honest team.
Dr. Priyanka and the orthodontist planned my case together. They actually talked me out of extra veneers I didn't need — I trusted them instantly.
Gaps and worn edges fixed together in one plan. Comfortable through every visit and the smile suits my face. Highly recommend.
FAQs
Smile designing — your questions answered
At Arasu, a whitening-led change runs ₹10,000–₹15,000, veneer-based makeovers ₹30,000–₹2,00,000 depending on the teeth involved, and combined aligner-plus-veneer plans ₹80,000–₹3,50,000.

The planning and digital design stage is non-invasive. The treatments themselves are carried out under local anaesthesia where needed, and we talk you through what each visit will feel like in advance.
It depends on the materials and your care. Composite work generally lasts three to seven years; porcelain veneers often ten to fifteen years or more. Your bite, grinding habits, diet and maintenance visits all affect it, and individual results vary.
A whitening-led change can be as quick as one to two weeks; a veneer-led design usually takes three to four weeks; complex cases with alignment or gum work are phased over more visits. You get a clear schedule once your design is approved.
Not always. Whitening and bonding remove little to no enamel. Veneers and crowns do involve removing a small amount of tooth structure, which does not grow back — so we use them only where needed and tell you clearly before any irreversible step.
Yes. Veneers or whitening are single treatments. Smile designing — a smile makeover — is the planned combination of whichever treatments your smile actually needs, designed together so the final result is balanced. If one treatment alone would solve your concern, we recommend just that.
Yes — that is the point of Digital Smile Design. We design your proposed smile digitally and show it to you, so you can review the shape and shade against your own face, request changes, and approve the plan before any treatment begins.
Earlier than most people think. A whitening-led plan fits inside a month, but veneer work needs three to four weeks, and anything involving alignment needs months. Come in as soon as the date is set and we will build the schedule backwards from it.
