It is a combination of tailored treatments by a qualified dentist to help achieve your dream smile. For example, if you want a brighter smile but also have a chipped or broken tooth you want to cover, you might opt for both teeth whitening and veneers as part of your smile makeover.

The timeline varies based on the patient’s individual needs and goals, as well as the treatments received. For example, teeth whitening and veneers take less time than treatments that involve tooth alignment, such as Invisalign®. We will provide a clear timeline during your consultation.

Because every plan is tailored to your unique goals, the cost varies significantly depending on the number of treatments and the complexity of your case. Where relevant, your choice of materials — such as choosing porcelain instead of composite veneers — also affects the price. A personal consultation is the best way to receive a clear, upfront quote designed for your individual needs.

While a smile makeover offers a long-term transformation, it isn’t strictly permanent as elements like veneers eventually require replacement (e.g. porcelain veneers last 10-15 years) and whitening needs periodic maintenance (but can last up to a year). If you opted for Invisalign®, committing to wearing a retainer after treatment will prevent your now-straight teeth from shifting back. With access to a quality cosmetic dentist in Melbourne and excellent oral hygiene, you can enjoy the results of your makeover for many years to come!
