YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING...

What is a smile makeover?

A smile makeover is the restoration of your smile. What this looks like will depend on the current condition of your teeth, your budget, and what you’re hoping to achieve. A smile makeover can be as simple as teeth whitening, or as transformative as dental implants.

How much does a smile makeover cost?

This is a bit like asking how long is a piece of string, and it’s very difficult to give a range without a consultation. For some of our patients, a smile makeover might mean teeth whitening services (which can start at $500). For those who are missing teeth, a more involved solution like dental implants (which can run up to thousands of dollars) might be considered. An initial consultation with one of our specialist orthodontists can give you a more accurate idea of what solution is best for your smile.

How long does a smile makeover take?

This depends on what a smile makeover looks like for you. If you want to undergo teeth whitening then this can be done in-chair during your appointment, But, if you need veneers or implants, then these will be custom-made for your mouth and will take several months to manufacture and install.

Can I get a smile makeover with missing teeth?

Yes, many of our patients are interested in a smile makeover due to missing or heavily damaged teeth. Our orthodontists are implant specialists with decades of experience restoring the look and function of missing teeth. Even if you are missing all or most of your teeth, it’s possible to restore your smile with solutions like All-on-4 dental implants.

Is it possible to personalise my smile makeover treatment plan?

Yes, you can customise your smile makeover treatment plan. Your dentist will work with you to understand your aesthetic goals and preferences, and design a personalised plan that may include treatments like teeth whitening, veneers, crowns, orthodontics, or dental implants. The plan will be tailored to address your specific needs, ensuring you achieve the smile you desire.

What does a smile makeover treatment consist of?

A smile makeover typically involves a combination of cosmetic dental treatments tailored to improve the appearance of your smile. This may include teeth whitening, dental veneers, crowns, dental implants, orthodontics, and sometimes gum contouring, depending on your needs. Your dentist will develop a customised treatment plan to address your unique goals.

How long does a smile makeover last and is it safe?

The longevity of a smile makeover depends on the specific treatments involved. For example, veneers and crowns can last up to 10-15 years with proper care, while teeth whitening may last from six months to two years. Smile makeovers are generally safe when performed by a qualified cosmetic dentist, as they use advanced techniques and materials designed for long-lasting, natural-looking results.

I feel very anxious about dental procedures—can you assist me with that?

If you feel anxious about dental procedures, many dentists offer sedation options to help you feel more relaxed during treatments. Options such as nitrous oxide (laughing gas) or oral sedation can ease anxiety, ensuring a comfortable experience. Be sure to communicate your concerns with your dentist so they can tailor the treatment plan to your needs.

Is specialist dental treatment for smile makeovers covered by private health insurance?

In most cases, cosmetic procedures like smile makeovers are not covered by private health insurance, as they are considered elective. However, if any part of the treatment is medically necessary, such as crowns or bridges to restore function, it may be partially covered. It’s best to check with your insurance provider to understand your coverage options.
