Free Online Smile Assessment, Hamilton

A First Opinion From a Few Photos

Q: Is your online smile assessment free?

Yes, it costs nothing and commits you to nothing. Send two or three photos of your smile on WhatsApp with a short note on what you'd like to change, and one of our dentists will reply with a suggested treatment and a likely price range from our published fees. If you want to go further, the next step is a free consultation, held with a £40 deposit that's refunded once you attend. See the online smile assessment page for photo tips.

Q: Who will see the photos I send you?

Only the clinical team at Hamilton Smile Studios. We use your photos to give you an opinion, and if you go on to become a patient they're kept securely with your dental records. They're never used for marketing or social media unless you've given written consent. Our privacy notice sets out how we handle personal information.

Q: How long does it take to get a reply to my message?

Normally on the day you send it, if it reaches us during opening hours. Anything sent after we close is picked up the next time we're open; our hours are Monday to Friday 9am to 5.30pm, and until 7.30pm on Thursdays. Closed at weekends. If you're in pain or it's a dental emergency, phone 01698 767220 rather than messaging, so we can find you an appointment.

Q: Can you give me an exact price from my photos?

We can give you a realistic range from photos, but not a fixed fee. A dentist can usually see which treatment would suit and point you to the matching price, for example composite bonding on four teeth at £1,550. The exact cost is confirmed in writing after an examination, plus a scan for implants and Invisalign, because photos can't show decay, gum health or bone.

Q: Can I send my photos without using WhatsApp?

Yes: email them to info@hamiltonsmilestudios.co.uk, or ask us to phone you at a time that suits. You can also skip the photos altogether, book a free consultation online and bring your questions with you. Either way, a dentist rather than a sales team looks at what you send.

Three Photos That Help

A phone camera is fine. Good light matters far more than a good camera.

Your Normal Smile, Face On

Stand facing a window in daylight and switch the flash off. Smile the way you would in a photo with friends, not a forced grin.

Teeth Together, Lips Pulled Back

Bite on your back teeth and gently draw your lips away with clean fingers, so the gums and the edges of the teeth show.

From the Side

A side-on smile shows how far the front teeth stick out or tip back. It's much easier if someone else holds the phone.

Then add a line or two: what you'd like to be different, whether anything hurts, and if dental visits make you nervous. That helps us reply properly.

What a Photo Can Show Us

Whether chipped, worn or uneven front teeth could be rebuilt with composite bonding, and about how many teeth

If crowding or gaps look like an Invisalign case, and roughly which package

Whether whitening on its own would get you the colour you're after

The likely ways to fill a gap: an implant, a bridge or a denture

Whether a denture that moves could be held steady on implants

What It Can't

Find decay, infection or gum disease. Spotting those takes a proper dental examination, and often an X-ray

Tell us if there's enough bone for an implant. Only a CT scan shows that

Give you a fixed fee. You get that in writing once we've examined you, plus a scan for implants or Invisalign

Stand in for an urgent appointment. If you're in pain, phone and we'll try to see you that day

Any range we give you comes straight from our published price list, so there are no surprises when you come in.

Not on WhatsApp? Upload Here

Same service, by form. We'll reply by text, phone or email, usually within the working day.

Thank you, your photos have reached us. One of our dentists will look at them and get back to you, normally within the working day. Our hours are Monday to Friday 9am to 5.30pm, and until 7.30pm on Thursdays. Closed at weekends.

After Our Reply

Some people just wanted a straight answer and leave it there. That's absolutely fine.

If you'd like to take it further, the next step is a free consultation at the practice in Hamilton town centre. Implant, Invisalign, bonding and smile makeover consultations are held with a £40 deposit, refunded within 7 days of your visit. If you need to cancel or rearrange, let us know at least 48 hours ahead. The deposit is only kept if you miss the appointment without telling us.

At that visit we examine your teeth properly, take any scans the treatment needs, and hand you a written plan, with the fee fixed, to take home.
