Get the smile you want
A smile we are happy with can totally change the way we feel about ourselves. Sometimes this can be an extreme cosmetic makeover, while other times just small changes can make a huge difference. This can involve replacing missing teeth, restoring broken teeth, straightening crooked teeth, whitening teeth, or improving the shapes of your teeth.
A cosmetic smile makeover is as individual as you are. It doesn’t have to be extreme, although sometimes it can be. It may be a same day smile makeover, or you may want to take more time. You can book your smile makeover by contacting No 9 Dental Practice in Uphall, our friendly reception team will be happy to help.
If you're searching for smile makeover cosmetic dentistry near Livingston, No 9 Dental Practice in Uphall is perfectly placed to serve patients across West Lothian. A personalised smile makeover combines the very best in modern cosmetic dentistry — from professional teeth whitening and dental crowns to dental implants — all tailored to your unique smile goals.
Teeth whitening as part of your smile makeover
Professional teeth whitening is often the starting point of any smile makeover. Unlike over-the-counter products, our clinical-grade whitening treatments deliver noticeably brighter results in a safe, controlled way. Whether used alone or alongside other cosmetic treatments, teeth whitening can take years off your appearance and dramatically enhance your overall result. We use Boutique Whitening, one of the most trusted systems available, offering both in-practice and at-home options to fit around your lifestyle.
Dental crowns for a complete cosmetic transformation
Dental crowns play a central role in many smile makeovers, particularly where teeth are cracked, heavily worn, or discoloured beyond what whitening can address. Our tooth-coloured ceramic crowns are custom-made to blend naturally with your surrounding teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics. Using CEREC technology, some crown treatments can even be completed in a single visit — ideal if you want to refresh your smile with minimal disruption to your routine.
About our smile makeovers
Missing teeth can undermine even the most carefully planned smile makeover. Dental implants are widely regarded as the gold standard for tooth replacement, providing a permanent, natural-looking solution that preserves jaw bone and supports long-term oral health. As part of a full smile makeover, implants can be combined with crowns, veneers, and teeth whitening to deliver a truly seamless result. If you've been putting off addressing a gap in your smile, a combined implant and smile makeover consultation at No 9 is the ideal first step.

About our smile makeovers
How do we complete a smile makeover?
To make sure we understand what you would like and what would work in your mouth we will start by taking a series of photos. Smile imaging can help us understand what is possible and what you are looking for. We will often then make a 3D model of your teeth to plan what changes will work best for you. Any designs made here we can also ‘mock up’ in your actual mouth, so you can get a feel for your new smile. We will spend time to make sure that it really is the smile you want.
Our promises to you
As one of only 2 dentists in Scotland to be Accredited by The British Academy of Cosmetic Dentists, you can be assured that your treatment at No 9 with Peter Buchan will be planned and executed to the highest standards. Working with an award-winning team and technician you can be assured of excellence at every stage of your treatment.
Different types of makeover
To change your smile, we can use invisible braces to move your teeth, or we can change their shapes using ceramic crowns or veneers. If the change in shape is fairly small, we can also make composite veneers using white filling material. Missing teeth can be replaced using dental implants or bridges.
Same day smile makeovers
There are a few different treatments that can be called ‘Same Day Smile Makeovers’. Composite bonding additions and CEREC crowns and veneers can both be completed in a single appointment. The key thing for any same day smile makeover treatment is thorough planning.
Smile makeover FAQs
How will I know what treatment is best?
You will have time to discuss treatments with more than one member of our team. While our dentist cannot make a decision for you, he can advise of any pros and cons of different treatments, allowing you to make as informed a decision as possible.
How much will a cosmetic smile makeover cost?
Your treatment plan will be completely individual and so therefore will be the price. We do have a price list, so that you can have an idea of the costs for some treatments. You will always be given as many options as we feel are possible. Sometimes you may not need as much work as you think to achieve the look you are after. We also provide interest free and longer term low-interest finance options.
Will a smile makeover be painful?
The honest answer to this is no! However, many people suffer from dental phobia, or a milder anxiety that there will be some pain involved. We do understand that dental fear and anxiety are very real, and we will work with you to help you overcome this if it is an issue for you. Patients we have worked with in this situation have always commented afterwards how amazed they have been that there has been no pain involved. If you have any concerns about this, we will be happy to take the time to discuss these with you.
Will a makeover be something extreme that will leave my teeth less healthy?
While a smile makeover is a cosmetic dental treatment your oral health is always our primary concern. We will advise you on long term dental hygiene and your dentist will carefully help you weigh up your long term health if you are considering preparing or extracting any teeth. We will not encourage any ‘quick fix’ which may cause you problems in the future. We will always treat you to create the healthiest mouth for your long-term health, even if your concerns are more cosmetic.
Can I combine teeth whitening with dental implants in my smile makeover?
Yes — in fact, this is a very common combination. We typically complete teeth whitening first so that any crowns, veneers, or implant restorations can be colour-matched to your newly brightened shade.
How long do smile makeover results last?
With good home care and regular hygiene appointments, results from treatments such as dental crowns and dental implants can last many years. Teeth whitening can be topped up periodically to maintain your brightness.
Do you see patients from Livingston for cosmetic dentistry?
Absolutely. We regularly welcome patients from Livingston, Linlithgow, Bathgate, and across West Lothian. Our practice is conveniently located in Uphall and easy to reach from the Livingston area.
