Charlotte – A Very Deserving Winner!

Here at Evolve Dentistry in Portishead we recently ran a competition to win a smile transformation as part of our 8th birthday celebrations. There were prizes for the first and second place and here, we caught up with Charlotte who won the first prize of up to £7,000 of cosmetic dentistry to find out why she entered and what winning means to her…

‘I suppose it’s as I have gotten older that I have become more conscious of the way that my teeth look.I have gradually taught myself to avoid smiling where possible, if in doubt I just keep my mouth closed. The problem with this is that everyone just assumes I’m permanently miserable!

I’ve always said that if I won the lottery, fixing my teeth would be the first thing I’d do, so when I saw the advert for the competition at Evolve, I figured I had nothing to lose.I submitted my application and guessed that a zillion other people had done the same, so tried not to think too much about it as I didn’t want to torment myself. I was really pleased – and very surprised – to receive a call telling me I’d been shortlisted.

I came in and initially had a chat with the team about my concerns and what I hoped to achieve. I’ll be honest, I knew I wanted to correct my teeth but I hadn’t realised how badly I wanted it until we talked how it made me feel. I discovered that I was more concerned about what people thought of my teeth, rather than what they thought about me or my capabilities.

I went through for the clinical assessment with Jonathan and was greeted by Megan who treated me like a friend. Jonathan took loads of pictures and X-rays and then explained to me – in amazing detail – the treatment that he was considering and what he expected the outcome to be.

I went home and cried.I felt like it was all within touching distance, but I convinced myself that the other people who had entered would undoubtedly deserve it more than me. In my head I had no chance and it was game over.

When Julie phoned and told me I had won I spent the rest of the day grinning like an insane Cheshire cat, so much so that it actually made my face hurt. I’ve never been able to say this before, but I couldn’t wait to go back to the dentist. I arranged to see Jonathan on the Monday, just to re-confirm the treatment plan he had previously recommended, and by the Tuesday afternoon I had upper and lower fixed braces!

Now my braces are on and I’m on the road to new teeth, I’m so excited! I keep trying to imagine what my teeth will look like when my braces come off and can’t quite picture it yet, but I know it’s going to be awesome!

The team at Evolve Dentistry have been simply amazing; I have been astounded by the level of service that they provide. Nothing is too much trouble and they have always immediately answered any questions that I have had.

There’s something about Evolve that I’m struggling to describe, but you can’t help but feel like you’re in great hands from the moment you walk through the door. They’ve got a very good thing going on!’

We’re really pleased to be able to give Charlotte her dream smile and we’ll keep you updated with her transformation at the end of her treatment.

As Smile Month comes to a close, we’ve loved celebrating 50 years of promoting healthy smiles 🦷✨

The message behind Smile Month is simple, but important:
✔ Brush well
✔ Clean between your teeth
✔ Visit your dentist regularly
✔ Look after your overall health too

Prevention is always better than cure, and small consistent habits can make a huge difference over time.

Thank you for following along with our Smile Month posts this year - and thank you for continuing to support our practice and our team 💙

Here’s to many more healthy smiles to come.

Years of teeth grinding had left Mandy unhappy with the appearance of her teeth - so she came to see Richard to explore her options.

Using carefully planned composite bonding, we were able to restore her smile while improving the worn appearance caused by grinding, helping her feel more confident again. ✨

In this video, Mandy shares her experience and why she decided to go ahead with treatment at Evolve Dentistry.

If you’ve noticed wear, chipping or shortening of your teeth from grinding or clenching, there may be options available to help protect and improve your smile.

Confidence can change everything - and sometimes, the smallest changes to your smile can make the biggest difference to how you feel day to day.

Whether it’s hiding your smile in photos, covering your mouth when you laugh, or simply not feeling like the best version of yourself, cosmetic dentistry can help you feel more comfortable and confident again.

At Evolve Dentistry, we take the time to understand what matters to you and create natural-looking results that still feel like you.

If you’ve been thinking about improving your smile, we’d love to help you explore your options. ✨

There’s nothing better than hearing how much more confident a patient feels after Invisalign treatment 💙

In this video, our lovely patient shares her experience with Invisalign treatment with Yasmin at Evolve Dentistry, and how supported she felt throughout the process by our kind and considerate team.

Straightening your teeth is about so much more than appearances – it’s about feeling confident when you smile, laugh and look in the mirror.

If you’ve been thinking about Invisalign treatment, we’d love to help you explore your options.

A smile can change so much 💙

For many people, improving their oral health or feeling more confident about their smile can have a real impact on everyday life - from photographs, to social situations, to simply feeling more comfortable being themselves.

Smile Month is a reminder that dental care isn’t just about treatment - it’s about helping people feel healthier, happier and more confident too.

Whether it’s maintaining healthy teeth and gums, straightening teeth, whitening, or simply helping nervous patients feel at ease, every smile journey matters.

Thank you for trusting us with yours ✨
