What is a Smile Makeover?

A smile makeover refers to the aesthetic design of your teeth and gums. A smile makeover may involve a combination of different cosmetic dental treatments, including: Orthodontic treatment (braces), crowns and bridges, dental veneers, dental implants, teeth whitening, dental bonding, cosmetic contouring and gum lift.

While one of the main purposes of a smile makeover is to enhance the beauty and appearance of your smile, it is also designed to correct your teeth function and bite.

Before embarking on a Smile Makeover, you can speak to one of the Cosmetic Dentists to learn more about the various treatments and how they can be combined as part of a multi-stage treatment process to beautify your smile.

Utilising minimally invasive and cost-effective methods, the Cosmetic Dentists can advise on the best treatment approach in order to minimise duplication of resources and optimise treatment outcomes within the shortest timeframes.

Smile Assessment and Treatment Plan

During the initial consultation, our cosmetic dentist will be assessing your smile in order to provide a detailed treatment plan.

The initial assessment may include taking an impression of your teeth and creating a replica mould that corresponds to the exact shape, size and bite of your teeth. X-rays of your teeth and jaws may also be taken to assess whether there are underlying problems with the structure of the teeth and bones that need to be addressed.

In addition to assessing and analysing the health of your mouth, the dentist will also discuss your treatment options with you, taking note of your individual needs and preferences. After gaining a full picture, the dentist will then draw up a treatment plan.

The treatment plan will detail the types of treatment that are needed and what you can expect for each of the dental appointments – a smile makeover would typically take between 2-3 visits.

Are you a good candidate for a Smile Makeover?

There are no hard and fast rules for patient candidacy when it comes to smile makeovers. Generally speaking, anyone who isn’t completely happy with the appearance of their teeth and gums can opt for a Smile Makeover. That said, certain groups of people may require it more than others.

For example, those who are struggling with chronic issues like cavities, tooth loss and discolouration may be considered good candidates. If you do not smile anywhere as often as you would like, chances are, you may be conscious about the way your teeth look: Misaligned, gappy, widely spaced, stained, crooked, misshapen, etc. These are all areas where a smile makeover can help.

Using cutting edge technology and techniques, the cosmetic dentists can completely transform and redesign your smile. In short, if the appearance of your teeth and gums are keeping you from smiling, then a smile makeover may be just the solution for you.

Review Temporaries

A few days after we will ask you to come in again to ensure that you are happy with the shade, size and feel of the temporary restorations. This is an opportunity for both the dentist and patient to make any last minute changes before the ceramist creates the final restorations.
