Your smile is one of the first things people notice about you. At Basil Dental Clinic in Sector 82A, Gurgaon, smile design is approached as both an art and a science — combining cosmetic expertise with dental health to create results that look natural, feel comfortable, and last.
What Is Smile Design?
Smile design (also called a smile makeover) is a personalised combination of cosmetic dental treatments chosen to improve the appearance of your smile. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, our specialists assess your facial proportions, tooth shape, colour, gum line, and bite to create a plan tailored specifically to you.
A smile makeover may involve one procedure or several — the right combination depends entirely on your starting point and goals.
Treatments Included in a Smile Makeover
- Dental veneers — Ultra-thin porcelain shells bonded to the front of teeth to improve shape, colour, and spacing. The most transformative single cosmetic treatment.
- Teeth whitening — Professional in-chair whitening that achieves results far beyond home kits. Typically 6–8 shades lighter in one session.
- Composite bonding — Tooth-coloured resin used to repair chips, close gaps, and reshape teeth. Quick and reversible.
- Dental crowns — Full coverage restorations for heavily worn, broken, or discoloured teeth.
- Gum contouring — Reshaping the gum line to correct a “gummy smile” or uneven gum levels.
- Orthodontics — Clear aligners or braces to correct crooked or crowded teeth as part of a full smile transformation.
The Smile Design Process at Basil Dental
1. Consultation — You share what you want to change about your smile. Our specialists examine your teeth, gums and bite, and take photographs for analysis.
2. Digital smile planning — We use photographs and measurements to plan the ideal outcome, taking into account your face shape and features.
3. Treatment plan & cost — A clear, itemised treatment plan is presented with timelines and costs. No surprises.
4. Treatment — Procedures are sequenced logically — structural work (root canals, extractions, implants if needed) first, then orthodontics if applicable, then cosmetic finishing.
5. Results & review — Final photographs document the outcome. Maintenance advice is provided to keep your new smile looking its best.

- Specialist team under one roof — Endodontist, Prosthodontist, Orthodontist, and Oral Surgeon all in-house. Complex cases don’t require outside referrals.
- Honest approach — We will tell you if a simple whitening is all you need, or if there is a structural issue that needs addressing before cosmetic work. We do not upsell.
- Health first — We never apply veneers over unhealthy teeth. Gum health and bite stability are prioritised before cosmetic procedures.
- 4 MDS specialists — Every procedure in your makeover is done by the appropriate specialist, not a generalist.
Smile Makeover Cost in Gurgaon
Smile makeover cost at Basil Dental depends entirely on which treatments are included. A single-veneer case starts from Rs. 8,000. Full smile makeovers involving multiple veneers, whitening, and gum contouring typically range from Rs. 40,000 to Rs. 1,50,000. We provide a detailed written estimate at consultation so you can make an informed decision.
How long does a smile makeover take?
Simple smile makeovers involving bonding or whitening can be completed in 1–2 appointments. Cases involving veneers typically take 2–3 weeks from preparation to final placement. Full makeovers that include orthodontics as part of the plan take several months to a year. The timeline depends entirely on which treatments are included.
Are dental veneers permanent?
Porcelain veneers require a small amount of enamel to be removed, making the process irreversible. They typically last 10–15 years before replacement. Composite veneers are more reversible but less durable, lasting 3–5 years. The choice between materials depends on your case and budget.
Is smile design covered by dental insurance?
Purely cosmetic procedures like veneers and teeth whitening are not covered by standard dental insurance in India. Functional procedures — crowns placed for structural reasons, orthodontics for bite correction — may have partial coverage depending on your plan. We can provide detailed receipts for insurance claims.
