Smile Makeover FAQs

What is a Smile Makeover?

A smile makeover is a comprehensive and personalised cosmetic dentistry procedure or set of procedures designed to enhance the appearance of a person’s smile. It involves addressing various aesthetic concerns related to the teeth, gums, and overall oral aesthetics. A smile makeover can encompass a range of treatments, including teeth whitening, dental veneers, dental crowns, orthodontics (braces or aligners), gum contouring, and more. The goal of a smile makeover is to create a harmonious, attractive, and natural-looking smile that aligns with the individual’s facial features, personality, and preferences. This approach considers not only the colour, shape, and alignment of the teeth but also the balance between teeth, gums, lips, and other facial elements to achieve a transformative and confident smile. The treatment plan is tailored to each individual’s unique needs and desires, with the aim of providing a significant improvement in both dental aesthetics and self-confidence.

A smile makeover uses a combination of treatments aimed at restoring the smile to its natural beauty. The dental treatments that can make up a smile makeover include treatments such as: 

  • Dental implants
  • Invisalign
  • Crowns and bridges
  • Natural looking fillings
  • Teeth whitening
  • Porcelain Veneers

The specific treatments included in a smile makeover will depend on the individual’s unique needs, goals, oral health status, and the expertise of the dental professional. A consultation with a cosmetic dentist is essential to evaluate your smile, discuss your desires, and develop a tailored treatment plan that addresses your specific concerns and provides the best possible results.

A good candidate for a smile makeover is someone dissatisfied with their smile’s appearance due to concerns like teeth discolouration, chips, cracks, misalignment, spacing issues and who desires to enhance their smile’s aesthetics and boost self-confidence. Ideal candidates have a foundation of good oral health with healthy gums and teeth, realistic expectations about potential outcomes, a commitment to maintaining oral hygiene post-treatment, and a genuine desire for improvement. Consulting with a cosmetic dentist allows for personalised assessment, treatment planning, and determining the most suitable cosmetic and restorative dental procedures to achieve the desired smile transformation.

We have little influence on how our teeth develop but there are no rules saying that you cannot change what you do not like. Sometimes our teeth are just too long or too short, giving off a gummy or crowded smile. If this is the story of your life then do not despair as there are a few options available to change the shape and overall appearance of your smile. Some of these options include:

• Dental Crowns
These are cemented over your teeth, and generally used if you suffer from cavities or to protect a tooth that is worn out.

• Recontouring
Like the name suggests, this procedure is used to change the length and shape of your tooth, which is done by removing small amounts of enamel.

• Veneers
Veneers are custom-made, tooth-coloured implants that are designed to cover the front surface of teeth. They are bonded to your teeth and are used to fix discolouration, small gaps or worn out teeth.

If your teeth are discoloured and stained, you might consider veneers or a tooth whitening treatment as part of your smile makeover. The shade of your teeth is an important consideration when improving your overall appearance, and your dentist will help you find a colour that looks natural and bright. If you have any silver or amalgam fillings, your dentist may recommend replacing them with tooth-coloured fillings as part of your smile makeover for a more natural-looking appearance.

Yes, absolutely. If you have crooked teeth or unwanted gaps, you might consider veneers to conceal these imperfections. In some cases, Invisalign may be an effective solution to these types of issues. When you come in for a consultation, your dentist will discuss your aesthetic goals with you and let you know which treatments best suit your particular needs.

Yes, absolutely. When it comes to missing teeth, there are a number of treatments that can be performed as part of a smile makeover. In fact, replacing missing teeth can go a long way in improving both one’s overall appearance and oral function. If you have one or more missing teeth that you would like replaced, you might consider dental implants or bridges. When you come in for a consultation, your dentist will explain what the process for each of these involves and let you know which treatment suits you best, depending on your aesthetic goals, oral health needs and budget.

Once your smile makeover is complete, there a few factors to consider when it comes to maintaining the results of your treatment. If you have chosen to have a teeth whitening treatment, we recommend that you come in for regular touch-ups to enjoy optimal results. We also recommend that you come in for regular dental check-ups so that your dentist can make sure that any veneers, implants, bridges or crowns remain in good condition over time. Good oral hygiene is also key when it comes to maintaining the results of your smile makeover — remember to brush your teeth at least twice a day, and to floss daily to prevent issues like tooth decay and gum disease.
