About smile makeovers
Designing Your Dream Smile
A smile makeover is a personalised treatment plan that combines multiple cosmetic procedures to improve the appearance of your smile. Rather than addressing one issue in isolation, we take a holistic approach - considering your tooth colour, alignment, shape, gum line and facial proportions to create a result that looks natural and harmonious.
At Arete Dental Studio, every smile makeover begins with Digital Smile Design - a process that lets you see and approve your new smile before any treatment starts. Your plan may sequence multiple disciplines, including porcelain veneers, professional whitening, composite bonding, clear aligners or crowns, with treatment order tailored to your specific needs.

Digital planning
Digital Smile Design at Arete
Digital Smile Design (DSD) is a key part of every smile makeover at Arete. Using high-resolution photographs and specialised software, we design your new smile digitally - adjusting tooth shape, proportions and symmetry to complement your facial features.
You see a digital preview of your result before any treatment begins. In many cases, we can also create a physical trial mock-up placed over your existing teeth, so you can see and feel the proposed outcome. This collaborative approach ensures the final result matches your expectations.

What to consider
Important Considerations Before a Smile Makeover
A smile makeover is a significant investment in your appearance and confidence. Before beginning treatment, it is important to have realistic expectations and understand that some procedures - particularly veneers and crowns - involve permanent changes to tooth structure.
We always discuss the most conservative options first. In some cases, whitening and bonding alone may achieve the result you want. Where more extensive treatment is appropriate, we ensure you understand the process, maintenance requirements and long-term outlook before committing.

Common Questions
How much does a smile makeover cost in Brisbane?
Smile makeover costs vary significantly depending on the treatments involved. Based on current pricing, costs may range from $2,000 for whitening and bonding to $25,000 or more for full-mouth veneer or implant rehabilitations. We provide a detailed treatment plan with clear costs after your consultation.
What is Digital Smile Design?
Digital Smile Design (DSD) is a planning tool that allows us to digitally visualise your new smile before any treatment begins. Using photographs and digital software, we design your ideal result and show you a preview - so you can see and approve the outcome before committing.
How long does a smile makeover take?
Treatment timelines depend on the procedures involved. Simple makeovers with whitening and bonding may be completed in 1-2 visits. More complex cases involving veneers, crowns or orthodontics may take several weeks to months. We provide a clear timeline during your consultation.
What treatments are included in a smile makeover?
A smile makeover may include any combination of porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, composite bonding, dental crowns, clear aligners, dental implants and gum recontouring - tailored to your specific goals and clinical needs.
Is a smile makeover painful?
Most smile makeover procedures are performed with local anaesthesia, so you should feel no pain during treatment. Some procedures like whitening or bonding require no anaesthesia at all. Any post-treatment sensitivity is typically mild and temporary.
Can I see what my new smile will look like before treatment?
Yes. Using Digital Smile Design, we create a visual preview of your new smile before any treatment begins. In some cases, we can also create a physical mock-up placed over your existing teeth so you can see and feel the proposed result.
What is the difference between veneers and bonding?
Porcelain veneers are custom-made ceramic shells bonded to the front of teeth - they are highly durable and stain-resistant. Composite bonding uses tooth-coloured resin applied and sculpted directly onto teeth in a single visit. Veneers offer greater longevity; bonding is more conservative and cost-effective.
Do I need to straighten my teeth before veneers?
Not always. Minor alignment issues can sometimes be addressed with veneers alone. However, in many cases, pre-treatment with clear aligners or braces produces a better foundation and a more conservative veneer preparation. We assess this during your consultation.
How do I maintain my smile makeover results?
Good oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups and professional cleans are essential. Avoid biting hard objects. If you have veneers or crowns, wear a night guard if you grind your teeth. Whitening may need periodic top-ups.
