At Unley Park Dental, we understand that the thought of a Smile Makeover can be a bit unbelievable.
There’s a fine line between a smile that looks improved and one that looks overdone. We stay firmly on the side of natural. That means preserving the unique details that make your smile yours, softening what’s worn, and repairing what’s missing. No blinding shades, no “template” teeth; just the right shape, tone, and balance for your face.
You’ll look like you’ve always had that smile, even if you know the work behind it. Subtle, believable, and easy to live with every day—that’s our definition of a makeover done right.
What is a Smile Makeover for?
A smile makeover is a combination of cosmetic and restorative dental treatments to improve the appearance of your smile. Rather than relying on a single procedure, it combines techniques to address multiple concerns at once.
A smile makeover may include treatments such as teeth whitening, veneers, dental crowns, composite bonding, orthodontics, or dental implants. The exact combination depends on your needs, your preferences, and the long-term health of your teeth and gums.
A well-planned smile makeover takes into account factors such as tooth shape and proportion, gum position, bite alignment, facial structure, and even how your smile appears when speaking or laughing.
What makes smile makeovers different is the emphasis on harmony rather than uniformity. An experienced dentist aims to enhance the unique character of your smile, not replace it with something artificial. This means choosing shades, shapes, and proportions that complement your face and look believable in everyday life, not just in photographs.
The Process
Our process ensures every patient receives personalised attention, comprehensive treatment, and ongoing support. From your first consultation through your complete recovery, we prioritise your comfort, understanding, and long-term oral health success. This is what ‘care beyond the chair’ truly means.
Step 1
Comprehensive Discovery & Examination
Our dentist begins your smile makeover with a detailed consultation to understand your goals and assess your oral health. We then create a personalised treatment plan tailored specifically to your needs.
Step 2
Treatment Process
Then, our dentist treats any underlying issues like decay or gum disease to ensure your smile has a strong, healthy foundation. Next, we focus on cosmetic improvements—whitening teeth, applying veneers to cover chips and stains, placing crowns, or using bonding to reshape teeth. If needed, orthodontic treatment helps straighten misaligned teeth for both function and appearance.
Throughout the process, our dentist works carefully to deliver natural-looking results that suit your facial features and lifestyle.
Step 3
Aftercare & Post-treatment Evaluation
We schedule follow-up visits to monitor your progress and maintain your new smile’s health and vibrancy.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a smile makeover?A smile makeover combines cosmetic and restorative dental treatments to improve your smile’s appearance and function. It addresses issues like discolouration, chipped or misaligned teeth, gaps, and missing teeth to create a natural, balanced smile that suits your face and boosts your confidence.
How much does a smile makeover cost?The cost of a smile makeover varies widely depending on the treatments involved, such as whitening, veneers, crowns, or orthodontics. Prices typically range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars. A personalised consultation is needed to determine the best plan and accurate cost for your specific needs.
What are the disadvantages of a smile makeover?Potential disadvantages include cost, the need for ongoing maintenance, and possible tooth sensitivity after treatments. Some procedures, like veneers, may require removal of natural tooth enamel. Results depend on oral health, and poorly planned makeovers can look unnatural if not done carefully by an experienced dentist.
What age is best for a smile makeover?There’s no set age for a smile makeover. Adults of all ages can benefit, provided their teeth and gums are healthy. Younger patients may wait until teeth are fully developed, usually after late teens. Your dentist can recommend the right timing based on your individual dental health.
What are the benefits of a smile makeover?A smile makeover offers a range of benefits that go beyond just improving the appearance of your teeth. One of the most immediate advantages is enhanced confidence. When you feel good about your smile, it can positively affect how you interact in social situations, at work, and in everyday life.
From a dental perspective, a smile makeover can also improve oral health. Treatments like crowns or veneers can protect damaged teeth, while orthodontics can correct bite issues that might cause wear or discomfort. Fixing gaps or misaligned teeth can make cleaning easier, reducing the risk of decay and gum disease.
Additionally, a smile makeover is highly personalised, tailored to suit your facial features, lifestyle, and budget. This means the result looks natural and complements your overall appearance rather than standing out awkwardly.
Lastly, many patients report a lasting positive impact on their emotional well-being. The boost in self-esteem from having a smile they’re proud of often encourages better self-care and a more positive outlook.
What are some tips for recovery/post-treatment?Do’s:
- Follow all care instructions provided by our dentist carefully.
- Maintain good oral hygiene—brush gently and floss daily to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
- Eat soft foods for the first few days, especially if you had veneers, crowns, or bonding.
- Use any prescribed mouth rinses or medications as directed to reduce discomfort and prevent infection.
- Attend all follow-up appointments so we can monitor your healing and make any necessary adjustments.
Dont’s:
- Avoid very hot, cold, or hard foods for a few days to prevent sensitivity or damage.
- Don’t chew on hard objects like ice, pens, or fingernails, as they can damage restorations.
- Refrain from smoking or using tobacco products, which can slow healing and stain teeth.
- Avoid excessive alcohol consumption during your recovery period.
- Don’t skip wearing any protective guards if recommended, especially if you grind your teeth at night.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Your smile says a lot about you. We offer tailored cosmetic solutions designed to enhance, not overhaul, your appearance. Our services include professional teeth whitening to lift stains, porcelain veneers to perfect shape and colour, and full smile design services that harmonise aesthetics with facial balance. Every cosmetic treatment is planned with your goals and ensures that results look naturally beautiful and feel comfortable.
Orthodontics
Orthodontic care is about more than just aesthetics. Straighter teeth are easier to clean, less prone to wear, and better for your bite and jaw health. We offer clear aligners for discreet correction and traditional braces for more complex cases. Our orthodontic plans are personalised for adults and teens, ensuring comfort, compliance, and great results.
Dental Implants & Restorative Dentistry
Missing or damaged teeth can impact your confidence, speech, and chewing ability. Our restorative dentistry solutions—like dental implants, crowns, and bridges—help you regain full function and appearance. We use digital scans and premium materials to ensure every restoration fits perfectly and lasts. For those needing full-arch solutions, we offer All-on-4 treatments and high-quality dentures designed for natural appearance and stability.
Specialist Dental Services
We offer in-house access to advanced dental procedures you’d typically need a referral for. Our specialist services include gum disease management (periodontics), oral surgery, and crown lengthening for aesthetic or functional improvement. We also provide sleep dentistry (sedation) for nervous patients and emergency appointments when urgency matters most.
Book With Confidence
At Unley Park Dental, tooth extractions are never routine. We treat each case with the care it deserves. With highly detailed imaging, a gentle approach, and a focus on your comfort, we aim to make the process as straightforward and stress-free as possible.
