A smile makeover is a personalised dental treatment plan that improves the function, alignment and appearance of teeth. Treatments range from minor cosmetic adjustments to comprehensive full mouth rehabilitation in Warners Bay, Newcastle, depending on each patient’s dental needs.
At SmilesHQ, we combine clinical expertise with modern dental technologies, including Invisalign®, porcelain veneers and restorative treatments, to address both functional and aesthetic considerations.
This article presents two case studies that demonstrate different approaches to smile makeovers. All images appear with written patient consent, and we ensure identical lighting and angles for before-and-after comparisons.
What Is a Smile Makeover?
A smile makeover extends beyond cosmetic improvement. Treatments may include alignment correction, restoration of worn or damaged teeth, and whitening procedures to create a functional, balanced dentition. We customise every plan based on clinical assessment, oral health status, and treatment goals.
Common components include:
- Invisalign to adjust alignment and spacing
- Porcelain veneers to correct shape, symmetry or minor damage
- Teeth whitening for uniform colour
- Full mouth rehabilitation to restore teeth affected by wear, damage or occlusal issues
Combining these techniques allows dentists to maintain oral health while enhancing dental function and appearance.
Case Study A: The ‘Conservative’ Approach
The Concern
Patient A presents with minor chipping and uneven edges on the front teeth. The teeth remain healthy overall, with no extensive decay or structural compromise. The clinical goal focuses on addressing surface-level imperfections while preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible.
The Solution
We perform a conservative smile makeover using:
- Invisalign for minor alignment adjustments
- Porcelain veneers to correct chipped edges and tooth shape
- Professional teeth whitening to create a uniform colour
This approach restores the teeth aesthetically while keeping the procedure minimally invasive.

Case Study B: The ‘Restorative’ Approach
The Concern
Patient B presents with multiple areas of wear and uneven tooth height, affecting both function and appearance. Clinical concerns include occlusion, structural integrity, and long-term maintenance. This case requires a full mouth rehabilitation.
The Solution
We implement a comprehensive treatment plan that includes:
- Evaluation of bite and occlusion
- Restoration of worn teeth using crowns and bridges as indicated
- Integration of aesthetic treatments, including porcelain veneers, to harmonise tooth shape and alignment
This restorative smile makeover addresses both functional and aesthetic needs, restoring teeth to optimal form and function.

Why Smile Makeovers Require Professional Assessment
Smile makeovers involve multiple elements that can affect tooth structure, bite, and oral health. Professional assessment ensures that treatments are:
- Clinically appropriate for each patient
- Tailored to individual oral health needs
- Conducted safely in a controlled environment
Procedures such as Invisalign, porcelain veneers and crowns require careful planning and monitoring to achieve predictable and durable outcomes.
