COSMETIC CARE
Smile Makeover Canning Vale
A smile makeover can help address multiple cosmetic concerns and create a smile that looks healthy, balanced and natural.
What Is a Smile Makeover?
A smile makeover is a carefully planned combination of cosmetic and restorative dental treatments, tailored specifically to address your unique concerns and deliver a comprehensive smile transformation. Rather than treating one issue at a time, a smile makeover considers your full smile as a whole, ensuring that every element works together to create a balanced, natural, and beautiful result.
At Dentists @ Canning Vale, we begin every smile makeover with a thorough consultation, detailed planning, and a clear treatment roadmap, so you know exactly what to expect at every stage.
Concerns a Smile Makeover Can Address
Stained or Discoloured Teeth
Chipped or Cracked Teeth
Worn or Eroded Teeth
Uneven or Irregular Teeth
Gaps Between Teeth
Crooked or Misaligned Teeth
Missing Teeth
Gummy Smile or Uneven Gums
Old or Failing Restorations
Smile Makeover Treatments
A smile makeover draws on the full range of cosmetic and restorative options. Your treatment plan will include only the procedures that address your specific concerns:
Dental Veneers
Porcelain or composite shells that transform the colour, shape, and size of front teeth for a dramatic, lasting result.
Teeth Whitening
Professional whitening to brighten the natural teeth, often performed first to set the shade baseline for other restorations.
Tooth Bonding
Composite resin for quick, affordable repairs of chips, gaps, and irregular edges, often combined with other treatments.
Enamel Shaping
Subtle contouring of tooth shape and length to improve symmetry and smoothness without adding materials.
Gum Contouring
Reshaping the gum line to correct a gummy smile or uneven tissue, revealing more of the natural tooth surface.
Clear Aligners
For more significant alignment concerns, clear aligner therapy can straighten teeth as part of the overall makeover plan.
Crowns & Restorations
For heavily damaged or worn teeth, full crowns restore both function and appearance while blending with the surrounding smile.
Dental Implants
A long-term solution for missing teeth, implants restore your full smile and support healthy bone structure long-term.

Oral Health Evaluation
A healthy foundation is essential for lasting cosmetic results. Any decay, gum disease, or other health concerns are identified and treated before cosmetic work begins.

Smile Design
Using shade guides, digital imaging, and a discussion of your facial features and aesthetic preferences, we design your ideal smile before any treatment begins.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a smile makeover cost?
The cost varies significantly depending on which treatments are included, how many teeth are involved, and the complexity of your case. A smile makeover might involve just two or three treatments, or it might span several stages over a number of months. We provide a detailed cost breakdown during your consultation so you can plan appropriately, and we can discuss staging treatment over time to spread the investment.
How long does a smile makeover take?
Timelines depend on the treatments involved. A simple makeover combining whitening and bonding might be completed in a few appointments. More comprehensive plans involving aligners, implants, or multiple restorations may take 6–18 months. We'll give you a realistic timeline during your planning consultation.
Will my results look natural?
Natural-looking results are a priority in everything we do. We design your smile around your facial features, skin tone, and existing teeth, not just a generic "perfect smile" template. Modern dental materials closely mimic natural enamel, and our approach is always to enhance rather than over-engineer.
How do I know which treatments I need?
That's exactly what the consultation is for. You don't need to know which treatments are right for you before you come in, you just need to know what bothers you about your current smile. We'll assess your teeth thoroughly and recommend the most appropriate and efficient combination of treatments to achieve your goals.
