A smile makeover is a planned combination of treatments, such as whitening, bonding, crowns or aligners, to change how your smile looks. We plan it with you step by step.
Not every treatment suits every person. Your dentist will discuss your options with you, including other treatments and the option of no treatment.
Here is what usually happens. Your dentist will explain each step for your situation before you start.
We talk about what you’d like to change and check your oral health.
We explain the options, the order of treatment, risks and costs.
Treatment is done in stages over the agreed timeframe.
We review the result and plan ongoing care.
Recovery depends on the treatments in your plan, and many people return to normal activities the same day. We’ll explain each step and how to care for your teeth.
Some cosmetic treatments remove tooth structure and can’t be reversed, and restorations may need maintenance. Your dentist will explain the risks, and you can seek a second opinion.
Each cosmetic plan is quoted in writing before you decide to go ahead. Payment can be spread across stages, and health fund rebates depend on your level of cover.
A smile makeover is a personalised plan that combines treatments to change the colour, shape, alignment or spacing of your teeth. Rather than doing treatments one at a time, we plan the order of care so each step supports the next.
We start by checking your oral health and talking about what you would like to change. We then explain the options, including more conservative ones, the order of treatment, the risks and the costs. You receive a written quote before you decide, and treatment can be spread over time.
