Journey
The path to your new smile
Each stage was carefully planned. Here is what it looked like, from the first visit to the final result.
-
Step 1
Choosing an ultra-restorative approach
Amy chose Dr Costa for his ultra-restorative approach, keen to keep as much of her natural teeth and character as possible while improving her smile.
-
Step 2
Unhurried, reassuring care
Amy tends to be anxious, so it mattered that Dr Costa never seemed rushed, taking time to explain the overall treatment and each step along the way.
-
Step 3
Subtle, natural veneers
The veneers were placed to preserve her natural character. People noticed in a subtle way, and some said she looked younger, exactly the harmonious result she wanted.
Introduction
I chose Dr Costa because of his ultra-restorative approach, so when I consulted about having veneers done, I was sure that this approach would maintain not only as much as possible of my original teeth, but also my character and appearance in a harmonious way. The result was much more than that.
The reception team is very kind and proactive, making sure I am comfortable while waiting. Dr Costa is exceptionally caring and takes time to check in on how I feel on the day. He never seems in a rush, taking time to explain the treatment and each step, which is important to me as I tend to be a bit anxious. His assistants are great and the team works in harmony, creating a very positive atmosphere.
I did not expect such a great improvement in my self-confidence. I tend to smile more, and my posture has changed, more open towards people. After more than 15 years of careful eating, I had an apple without cutting it into pieces. I feel really good about myself.

Conclusion
The treatment has greatly improved my dental health, and I am confident I will not need much else for the foreseeable future. My smile looks great and people noticed in a very subtle way, which is exactly what I wanted. I still look like myself, but improved.
