A smile makeover is a combination of dental treatments designed to improve your smile’s overall appearance, including bite problems.
At our clinic, we use the latest technology and techniques for your procedures so you can achieve the smile of your dreams.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Impacted wisdom teeth can cause adjacent teeth to become crowded as they erupt, leading to an improper bite.
Our skilled team can remove your wisdom teeth safely and efficiently while prioritising your comfort.
Tooth Extractions
Some bite problems may be due to the misalignment of teeth or not having enough space for all teeth. In cases such as these, some dentists would advise tooth extraction to improve your bite.
Consult with our dental professionals to see if a tooth extraction is an appropriate treatment for you.

Frequently Asked Questions about
Bite Problems
How do I know if my bite is correct?
You can check your bite by looking in a mirror and closing your upper and lower teeth together. If your upper and lower teeth align with each other without causing strain or pain on your jaw, then you probably have a correct bite.
If you want to be sure, the dentist can conduct a thorough examination to assess it and recommend treatment options for your condition.
What happens if I won't manage my bite problem?
If you choose not to address your bite problem, it can cause many serious issues, such as:
- Jaw joint disorders and jaw pain.
- Wearing of your tooth enamel, which can cause sensitivity.
- Increased risk of tooth decay and gum disease.
- Difficulty chewing or speaking.
How long will it take for my dentist to adjust my bite?
The duration of your treatment depends on the severity of your condition and the treatment you receive. For clear aligners, you can expect to wear them for about a year or two. In other cases, once the cause of your bite problem is addressed, you may need to wait for your teeth to adjust.
During your consultation, the dentist will let you know how long your services will likely take.
