A smile makeover is a personalised treatment plan that combines two or more cosmetic dental procedures to address the overall appearance of your smile. At Smile Place Dental in Forest Hill, the starting point is always a thorough assessment and an honest conversation about what is achievable for your specific teeth.
We see patients from across the Whitehorse area, including Box Hill, Nunawading, Blackburn, Vermont, and Mitcham.
There is no fixed package. The treatment plan is built around your specific concerns. Common combinations include:
The scope of a smile makeover depends on where you are starting from and what you want to change. Some patients need two treatments. Some need several. Your dentist will map out the full picture at your consultation.
Your first appointment is a consultation. Your dentist will examine your teeth, gums, and bite, and ask specifically about what you would like to change. Photographs may be taken. You will discuss what is achievable given your current dental health and what the likely treatment sequence would be.
A written treatment plan and cost estimate is provided. You are not committed to proceeding after the consultation.
If you decide to go ahead, treatment proceeds in a sequence that makes clinical sense for your case. Where orthodontic work is involved, this comes first. Cosmetic treatments follow once alignment is stable.
Smile makeover costs range widely depending on the treatments involved. A plan covering whitening and two composite bonding treatments costs significantly less than one involving veneers across multiple teeth. A written cost estimate is provided before any work begins.
Treatment timelines depend on what is included. Where orthodontic treatment is part of the plan, the full makeover may take 12 months or more. Where it is purely cosmetic, some plans are completed in two to four appointments.
Treatment outcomes vary between patients.
For smile makeover work involving porcelain veneers, crowns, or bridges, Smile Place's in-house dental laboratory at Glen Iris means the supervising dentist can consult directly with the technician on shade and shape.
For Forest Hill patients, porcelain work is fabricated at our Glen Iris laboratory.
Smile Place's three-clinic network means your records and treatment plan are accessible across all clinics. If part of your smile makeover is better suited to the Glen Iris clinic (for in-house lab work), you are always dealing with the same team and the same clinical standards.

Smile makeover costs vary significantly depending on the treatments involved and the number of teeth addressed. Your dentist will provide a detailed quote after your consultation.
Treatment duration depends on what is included in the plan. Some combinations can be completed in a few appointments; others involving orthodontic treatment may take several months.
No. The consultation is an assessment and planning session. You receive a treatment plan and quote and decide whether to proceed.
Cosmetic treatments are generally not covered under health fund extras. However, if the plan includes restorative work (crowns, fillings, orthodontics), portions may be claimable. Your dentist will note what is and is not likely to be covered in the written treatment plan.
Whitening is typically done first to establish a shade baseline. Veneers are then matched to the whitened shade. Your dentist will sequence the treatments in the correct clinical order.
This depends on the treatments involved. Porcelain veneers can last 10 to 15 years or more with care. Whitening typically lasts 12 to 24 months. Composite bonding requires maintenance every five to eight years. Your dentist will give you specific guidance at the consultation.
The goal of a well-planned smile makeover is a result that looks like a natural, healthy version of your own teeth. Your dentist will discuss shade, shape, and proportions with you before any work begins. Treatment outcomes vary between patients.
