Introduction of what makes a perfect smile
  • Proportioned Lips
  • Straight, white perfectly even teeth
  • Top teeth should show without too much gums and should meet lower teeth smoothly

Teeth whitening
There are 2 types of teeth whitening, in-office whitening and take-home whitening. BriteSmile® is a popular in-office whitening.
BriteSmile® Whitening System is  a breakthrough patented blue-light technology that offers an effective and naturally whiter, brighter brilliant smile in just 1 hour!

BriteSmile works by

  • Applying patented whitening gel to your teeth and the revolutionary, patented BriteSmile® blue wavelength light will be positioned over your teeth to activate the gel

  • As you relaxed in the dentist chair, your teeth will lighten and your natural whiteness will be restored in just 1 hour through a completely safe process of oxidation.

  • BriteSmile® is clinically proven to improve oral health while whitening up to 14 shades brighter.

  • The BriteSmile® procedure is completely safe and will not damage enamel or existing fillings.
For optimized and long lasting results, take home whitening kit with customized dental trays are recommended for maintenance.

Smile Makeovers
Veneers are used to whiten and lengthen damaged teeth generally. However, Veneers can also be used to beautify a smile by elongating a millimeter or so.

Braces
To achieve straighter teeth, fixed braces (commonly known as railroad tracks), removable braces and Invisible braces are used.
Invisalign
The latest trend is Invisalign® which helps you to straighten your teeth without bands, brackets or wires ! Brilliant !

  • Invisible braces are “plastic” trays that you use to straighten your teeth

  • Change them every two weeks and your teeth will move, little by little towards the straighter teeth

  • Comfortable, Convenient and Removable

  • Simply remove before eating and brushing/flossing to keep your teeth and gums healthy

  • Volia ! Straighter even teeth between 7 months to 18 months, results varies with individual.

Beauty often comes with a price, Invisalign® is more expensive than normal rail track braces but i do think its worth it !

Due to time constraint, Dr Jerry Lim could only do the temporary Hollywood Makeover for me instead of both Clara and I. Dr Jerry Lim lengthen my top teeth with veneers to create elongated whiter teeth instantly and Voila !
