Smile Design & Trial Smile in the City of London
Fully credited to your treatment if you proceed
Not sure whether composite bonding or veneers are right for you? A Trial Smile lets you see, feel and photograph a temporary version of your proposed new smile — fitted over your own teeth, with nothing removed — before you decide on any treatment.
Trial Smile Preview
Credited in full if you proceed with treatment
- Clinical examination by a GDC-registered cosmetic dentist
- Digital photographs and intra-oral scan
- Smile design tailored to your face, lip line and shade preference
- Trial Smile placed over your own teeth — nothing drilled or removed
- Time in the chair to view, photograph and adjust the preview
- Written, itemised treatment plan with fixed prices
Subject to clinical assessment. Non-refundable if you choose not to proceed.
A Trial Smile, Not a Promise
Slide to compare a patient's natural teeth with their Trial Smile preview by Dr Reza Davari. The material is temporary and was removed after the appointment.
Image shows a Trial Smile preview, not a final treatment outcome. Photographed with the patient's consent. Individual results vary and depend on clinical suitability.
How the £250 Works
One clear fee. It pays for your dentist's time, the design and the fitting — and it comes off your bill if you go ahead.

Your Smile Design Journey
Four steps, two short visits, no surprises.
Consultation & records
A GDC-registered dentist examines your teeth and gums, takes photographs and a digital scan, and listens to what you would like to change. If anything needs treating first (decay, gum disease, bite concerns) we tell you at this stage.

Bespoke smile design
Your dentist plans tooth length, shape, proportion and shade against your lip line and face rather than a template. You review the design and ask for changes before anything is placed in your mouth.
Between visits
Trial Smile fitted
A tooth-coloured temporary material is shaped over your natural teeth to reproduce the design. No drilling and, in most cases, no anaesthetic. You see the result in the chair and in daylight, and take photos home.

Decide in your own time
Go away, look at the photos, show family. If you go ahead with composite bonding, composite veneers or porcelain veneers with us, the £250 is credited in full against your treatment.
No deadline
