Smile makeovers by Dr Monika | Transform your smile

Smile makeover

A smile makeover brings together the treatments your smile needs into one bespoke plan. Dr Monika has been a dentist since 2003 and holds a Diploma in Restorative Dentistry from the Royal College of Surgeons of England. She takes time to understand your goals and guides you through every step at your pace, for results that look natural and feel like you.

A fresh look for older crowns

Over time, crowns can chip, discolour or show a dark line near the gum, making them stand out from your natural teeth. Dr Monika can replace them with new crowns carefully matched in shade and shape, so they blend in with the rest of your smile.

What makes up a smile makeover?

Every smile makeover is different, and your plan is built around what your smile needs. It may combine Invisalign® to straighten teeth, composite bonding to reshape them, new crowns or bridges to restore them, and dental implants to replace missing teeth.

Invisalign

Dental implants

Replace missing teeth with a secure option that looks and feels natural.

Thank you for the excellent care, fun and fabulous new teeth you have given me. Whoever thought dental treatment could be a pleasure? You were both so positive, supportive and reassuring throughout my treatment that I didn’t feel anxious or frightened. The results of my three dental implants are just amazing, they look and feel totally natural and to say that I am thrilled is an understatement.

What a smile makeover can help with

Worn or chipped teeth

Composite bonding or crowns can rebuild worn edges and repair chips, restoring the shape of your teeth.

Discoloured teeth or old crowns

Teeth that have darkened, and older crowns that no longer match, can be refreshed to blend with the rest of your smile.

Crooked or crowded teeth

Invisalign® clear aligners gradually straighten your teeth, creating an even base for the rest of your treatment.

Gaps between teeth

Small gaps can be closed with composite bonding or Invisalign®, for a more balanced smile.

Missing teeth

Dental implants or bridges fill gaps left by missing teeth, helping to restore your smile and your bite.

The smile makeover process

Your smile makeover follows three clear steps, at your pace.

1. Smile assessment

Dr Monika listens to your goals and examines your teeth, gums and bite. Digital scans and photographs help her understand exactly what your smile needs.

2. Your bespoke plan

She talks you through your options and creates a personalised treatment plan, explaining each stage, the timings and the costs before anything begins

3. Treatment and aftercare

Your treatments are carried out in the planned order, with regular reviews along the way. Once complete, Dr Monika advises you on caring for your new smile so it stays looking its best.

Shared stories from other patients

Hearing how others felt during and after treatment can be reassuring. Here are a few kind words from patients who’ve been through the journey — in their own words.

I had been for a consultation with another dentist but felt I was getting ripped off, came across Dr Monika and very glad I did, made the appointment and saw Dr Monika Jaidka, she was extremely welcoming and professional did a CT scan and then talked me though everything, then sent me a detailed pricing structure for what I needed, I have had one implant with another to be done new year, if you need implants speak to this dental practice, I traveled from Manchester to see Monika and will do so again, all staff there are lovey and quality of work is fantastic, my Mrs and kids all said cannot tell its an implant, I’m going back because I know there good and I feel very comfortable with them

Really pleased with the results of my implant treatment and can fully recommend Monika and the team. It was a complex journey for me but one made easier by the reassurance and information as well as the care and friendliness of the team. Great dentistry does not come cheap but the expertise, the technology and the skilled team led by Monika made it worth every penny. Just in time for holidays!

I can't thank you enough Ivory. I came to Ivory knowing that I needed some serious intervention. Under the care of Dr Jaidka and early advice from Georgina Ingram I am now at the end of treatment and fitted with full and upper and lower implants. Dr Jaidka went to unusual effort to support this outcome for me. I am extremely happy with the outcome and throughout all staff have been friendly and totally professional, as well as answering any concerns. For anyone considering going abroad for dental care, because they think it's cheaper, I would please give some thought to the fact that if anything doesn't go right and you return home, it's not easy to nip back abroad. I feel it's unlikely that you will get the care and professionalism comparable to that of Ivory Dental. Many thanks again.

Recently had my second implant fitted here, which is my regular dental practice that I have been with for a few years now. I do not notice my first implant now, it feels just like a regular tooth. The staff here are very friendly and helpful and make you feel at ease. Implant very cost competitive and payable in stages which is a bonus. It was a very straightforward process. The implant is a good match which is important as it is a front tooth, and it feels a good fit and comfortable. Everything went well. Will definitely continue with this practice. Very satisfactory.

I was recommended by a friend and made an appointment. I used to have dentures and they drove me nuts and also my wife, it’s the best thing I have ever done and Monika and Danielle have been so kind and helpful. I would highly recommend and doubt they will be beaten on their prices with a free car park opposite thrown in.

Had implant completed 3 weeks ago. Perfect fit immediately, totally comfortable and secure, so much better than a crown! The team led by Monika gave me confidence and great care and I was comfortable throughout the procedure. I am over 70 yrs so had a little hesitancy deciding to have the procedure, but am so pleased with the result. The technology to me is amazing, old style dentistry… fillings and crowns etc. seem primitive in comparison.

The service made me feel confident about undergoing the treatment because the dentist explained the entire procedure. I had a great experience.

Firstly, my treatment for my implant dental surgery was quite a long process. This was discussed with my own dentist who explained the process, which then took me on to further discuss with a specialist in root canal surgery. This consultation led me on to speak with my consultant dental surgeon Ms Monika Jaidka. Monika explained the full process and once I discussed the whole procedure I was able to make my decision to go ahead with confidence. I am very pleased with the outcome.

My dentist recommended Dr Monika for dental implants. What amazing service!! Monika and her team were so caring, professional and friendly. After the initial appointment all my apprehension disappeared and three months later my life has changed, and I look so much better but more importantly I can now enjoy my food. I would like to say that I am 76 and thought implants wouldn’t be possible but apparently any age isn’t a consideration. I can’t thank you enough Monika and your team 😁😍 xxx

I chose Dr Monika for a dental implant after losing a tooth visible when I smiled. I found everyone involved, from the receptionist, hygienist, to the implant specialist very friendly, professional and informative. I was consulted at every stage, making sure I understood all completely and was aware of what to expect. It is an expensive treatment (I’m a pensioner) but I would definitely recommend it to anyone and I am extremely happy with the result as I am now no longer embarrassed to smile again which I had been after losing the tooth. My implant is like regaining my broken tooth but better. Thank you again Dr Monika for your excellent service

I had a wonderful teeth implant at Ivory Dentals, Blackpool. Dr Monika Jaidka and her assistants Georgina and Victoria were all absolutely superb. Very pleased with my implants, they look natural and they restored my confidence in my smile. On my first visit, they assessed my dentition, explained my options and gave me the cost of my chosen treatment. All my visits to Ivory Dentals were accommodated to my busy schedule. Ivory Dentals premises are modern & clinically pleasant. Car parking within their compound was always available. Despite my need for further complex treatment, the price did not increase. I can wholeheartedly recommend Dr Monika and her team at Ivory Dentals, Blackpool, to my family & friends. Thank you very much again, wishing you continued success.

Yesterday I had my new crowns fitted and I am very pleased with them. Thanks to Monika Jaidka and her assistant for all the extremely professional service in having these crowns made and perfectly fitted. They look great. Now I'm smiling at everyone! I recommend Ormskirk Dental Care to everybody.
