Smile Design

Your smile is as unique as you are and so we spend time helping you to understand what smile will best suit you.

Some people have a clear idea of the smile they want to achieve and often bring in pictures that they’ve found on the internet. Other people want to regain the smile they had in their youth, old pictures can be a great help here but also family pictures of brothers, sisters, sons or daughters.

To create the design we use a variety of tools – we have cameras, digital scanners and software to help us design and visualise the end result. We can then 3-D print models of the new smile and use these to help you experience the end result with a smile preview.

A smile preview is only temporary, it fits over the top of your teeth and allows you to preview the planned design. You are invited to critique and make any changes that you feel appropriate. We can take photos so that you can consult with family and friends – all this is done without doing any damage to the teeth!

When you are happy with the smile preview this becomes our blueprint and we recreate this design into your new, finished smile.

  • “Had rob at Dovetail crown my top teeth and new implants on bottom to correct my bite. Been in 5 years now and still going strong, there’s not a week goes by that my teeth are not mentioned by sometime just strangers in the street. Good service, competitively priced and good aftercare”

    Trevor Hope
  • “A caring and incredibly professional and skilled operation. They have given me the confidence to smile rather than smirk/grimace again… I would highly recommend Dovetail to anyone considering an implant procedure.”

    David Smith
  • “Wonderful friendly service. Perfect job.”

    Christine Burrell

    Nick Kozlowski

    Colin Wilson, Ashington
  • “Amazing job! And what a difficult job for Rob and Rachel. I can honestly say no one apart from home and work (who knew all about my decision to have my top teeth replaced) realise my teeth belong to the dedicated team work of both these two new friends of mine. I have after check visits and feel part of the Dovetail family. Thank you all for keeping my huge smile exactly the same and enabling me to still talk with exactly the same speed. If in doubt believe me trust the company to help you.”

    Edna Glenton
  • “I was always very nervous about going to the dentists. From the very first meeting with Allanah and Rob they put me at ease and made my journey through each stage easy to deal with.”

    Elizabeth
  • “My teeth were in a bad state, all I could think was that I didn’t want a denture. I feel normal again and can smile without having to think about it. It’s lovely when people say how nice my teeth are and how natural looking they look.”

    Monica Gunn, Monkseaton
  • “I’ve been with Dovetail Dental since it began and am managing to overcome my lifelong fear of dentists. (I’m 77 years old.) After several implants and other treatments I’m now happy with my teeth and grateful for the care and kindness I have received from all members of staff. After decades of neglecting my teeth I was initially attracted by the availability of IV sedation. Subsequent treatments have continued to soothe away my fears, leading to a more positive attitude on my part. Thank you to everyone at Dovetail.”

    Patricia Wressell
  • “Dovetail solutions gave me the smile i wanted treatment was great, pain free staff are amazing, took well care of. I am more than happy with the outcome of my treatment and would gladly try dovetail again in the future and anyone thinking of trying dovetail i would say YES pop in and speak to the most amazing staff i have ever came across in the dental department.”

    David Quinn
  • “Dovetail Bespoke Dental Solutions were very professional at all times and considered my opinions. They were helpful and made you feel at ease as my crowns were failing it was the most lovely experience to come out at the end of the procedure with a wonderful smile which may I say people comment on all the time. I am so grateful and happy to have found Dovetail!”

    Mary Marsden
  • “Have worked with Dovetail for over 10 years – have always found them to be professional, friendly and a pleasure to work with.”

    Andy McKenna
  • “After several years of disappointing dental treatment resulting ultimately in failed implants I was very sceptical of putting my faith in yet another dentist. Within a couple of visits to Dovetail, they renewed my confidence & discussed possible solutions. After a comprehensive examination & prognosis, clearly explained & described, I started on a course of corrective treatment. Both Rob & Rachel were very instructive & reassuring throughout.”

    John Newbould
  • “My personal experience with Rob and the team has been outstanding. I have a round trip of 280 miles. its worth every mile. It’s been a long journey due to my work commitments. However the outcome was worth every trip. I will be part of the Dovetail family for ever.”
