A smile makeover is a personalised combination of cosmetic and restorative dental treatments designed to address every aspect of your smile — colour, shape, alignment, and health. At Macleod Dental, we plan each makeover individually, matching the right treatments to your goals, timeline, and budget.
A smile makeover is not a single treatment — it is a carefully planned sequence of procedures, tailored specifically to you. It may combine teeth whitening, veneers, crowns, bonding, implants, and gum contouring to deliver a complete transformation. The result is a smile that is not only beautiful but fully functional and built to last.
We start with what you want your smile to look like — colour, shape, proportion — and plan backwards from there.
Every treatment in a makeover must also work functionally — bite alignment, gum health, and long-term durability are built in.
No two makeovers are the same. Your plan is built around your face, your bite, and your lifestyle — not a template.
Is a Makeover Right for You?
Have multiple smile concerns you want addressed at once
Staining, chips, gaps, missing teeth, and worn enamel can all be treated as part of a single coordinated plan.
Feel self-conscious about your smile
Whether it affects how you speak, eat, or present yourself — a makeover is designed to restore your confidence completely.
Have a specific event or milestone coming up
Weddings, milestone birthdays, or career changes are common motivators — we plan the timeline around your date.
Want a long-term investment, not a quick fix
A well-planned makeover using quality materials is designed to last for many years with proper care.
Not sure where to start? We will assess your smile, listen to your goals, and outline a clear plan — with no obligation to proceed.
What a makeover can include
Professional teeth whitening for a brighter baseline
Porcelain veneers to reshape, whiten, and perfect front teeth
Dental crowns to restore heavily damaged or broken teeth
Dental implants or bridges to replace missing teeth
Composite bonding for chips, gaps, and minor corrections
Gum contouring to balance the gum line and frame your teeth
Not every patient needs all of these. Your plan will include only what is necessary to achieve your goals.
Every makeover is different, but the process always follows the same clear, unhurried sequence. Here’s what to expect.
Step 01
We listen to your goals, assess your teeth and gums, and discuss all the options available to achieve your ideal result.
Step 02
We prepare a detailed, sequenced treatment plan with full cost transparency — so you know exactly what is involved before committing.
Step 03
Any necessary restorative work — fillings, crowns, implant placement — is completed first to ensure a healthy, stable base.
Step 04
Veneers, whitening, bonding, or gum contouring are then applied in the planned sequence to achieve your aesthetic goals.
Step 05
A final review ensures everything looks, fits, and feels perfect. We provide a full maintenance plan to protect your investment.
A coordinated makeover plan is not just more efficient — it produces a better, more cohesive result than piecemeal treatment.
We will walk you through all the options and help you decide what is right for your situation and budget.
The cost of a smile makeover varies significantly depending on which treatments are involved, how many teeth are being addressed, and the materials used. At your consultation, we provide a full written treatment plan with itemised pricing before any work begins — so there are no surprises. We can also discuss staging treatments over time to manage costs.
Timelines depend entirely on which treatments are required. A straightforward makeover combining whitening and veneers may be completed in 3–4 weeks. A more complex plan involving implants may take 6–12 months. We will give you a clear, realistic timeline at your planning appointment so you can plan around important dates.
Most smile makeover treatments involve local anaesthetic for any preparation or surgical work, so you will be comfortable throughout. Some procedures such as whitening and bonding involve no discomfort at all. We take a gentle, unhurried approach and will always ensure you are completely at ease before proceeding with any step.
The best first step is a smile consultation. Bring photos of smiles you admire if you have them — they help us understand your aesthetic goals. We will assess your teeth, discuss your concerns, and outline a clear plan. There is no obligation to proceed, and we will never pressure you into any treatment.
Some components of a smile makeover may attract a health fund benefit under major dental extras — for example, crowns or certain restorative work. Purely cosmetic treatments such as whitening and veneers are generally not covered. We can provide a written treatment estimate so you can check your entitlements with your insurer before committing.
With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, the results of a well-planned smile makeover can last 10–15 years or more for most treatments. Porcelain veneers and crowns are particularly durable. We will provide a full aftercare and maintenance plan to help you protect your investment for the long term.
Ultra-thin porcelain shells for instant correction of colour, shape, and minor gaps.
Full coverage restorations that rebuild heavily damaged or worn teeth beautifully.
Permanent tooth replacement that integrates seamlessly into a complete smile plan.
For comprehensive cases requiring full restoration of all teeth — health and aesthetics combined.
