What is a smile makeover?
A smile makeover is a customised approach to help you achieve the perfect smile. Unlike standard dental treatments that address individual dental health issues, a smile makeover focuses on improving the appearance of your entire smile through a series of cosmetic and dental procedures. This may include straightening, lightening, reshaping, and fully restoring your teeth and gums.
Common procedures involved in a smile makeover can include teeth whitening, composite bonding, teeth straightening, dental implants, dental crowns, gum contouring and veneers.
What to expect
Initial consultation: The first step is a comprehensive assessment where you discuss your expectations and desired outcomes. Our experts use advanced imaging technology to show you potential results.
Treatment planning: We design a step-by-step, personalised treatment plan. This plan considers your facial appearance, skin tone, hair colour, teeth (colour, width, length, shape, and tooth display), gum tissue, and lips.
Procedure: Depending on the complexity, a smile makeover can be achieved in one or more visits. Our practice is equipped with the latest technology to ensure comfort, efficiency, and the best results.
Follow-up care: Post-treatment care instructions and follow-up appointments are critical to ensure the longevity of the results achieved.
Common treatments for a smile makeover
Veneers + Teeth Whitening
Teeth are first whitened to a uniform shade. Veneers are then applied to cover imperfections, ensuring they match the newly whitened teeth.
Implants
Dental implants replace missing teeth with a titanium post and a custom crown, offering a natural look and long-lasting solution for your smile makeover.
Invisalign + Composite Bonding
Invisalign aligners straighten teeth first. After alignment, composite bonding corrects any remaining small chips or aesthetic flaws.
