What Is a Smile Makeover?
A smile makeover is a customised treatment plan that improves the appearance of your teeth and gums. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, it may include a combination of treatments such as:
Digital Smile Design (DSD)
Porcelain veneers
Dental implants for missing teeth
Crowns for broken-down or weakened teeth
Invisalign clear aligners
Each smile makeover is designed around your facial features, lifestyle, oral health, and aesthetic goals.
Digital Smile Design (DSD): The Foundation of a Beautiful Smile
At Brisbane Smile Boutique, many smile makeovers begin with Digital Smile Design (DSD)—a cutting-edge planning tool that allows you to see your new smile before treatment begins.
What Is DSD?
DSD uses high-resolution photography, videos, and digital scans to analyse:
Facial symmetry and proportions
Lip movement and smile dynamics
Tooth shape, colour, and alignment
Why DSD Matters
Predictable results: You preview your smile digitally before committing to treatment
Highly personalised: Your smile is designed to suit your face—not just your teeth
Collaborative process: You are actively involved in the design of your new smile
This meticulous planning reflects our commitment to excellence in aesthetic dentistry and ensures natural, harmonious results.
Porcelain Veneers: Transform Shape, Colour, and Confidence
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin ceramic shells bonded to the front of teeth to correct:
Discolouration
Chips or cracks
Uneven or worn teeth
Gaps and minor misalignment
Custom-crafted for each patient, veneers offer a long-lasting, natural-looking solution that can dramatically enhance your smile while preserving tooth structure.
Dental Implants: A Permanent Solution for Missing Teeth
Missing teeth can affect both appearance and oral health. Dental implants provide a strong, stable, and natural-looking replacement.
Benefits of Dental Implants:
Restore chewing and speaking function
Prevent bone loss in the jaw
Look and feel like natural teeth
Long-term durability and stability
Implants are often seamlessly integrated into smile makeovers to restore balance and confidence.
Crowns for Broken-Down or Weakened Teeth
When teeth are damaged by decay, trauma, or wear, dental crowns provide strength and protection while restoring natural appearance.
Our crowns are:
Custom-designed for precision and comfort
Crafted from high-quality, aesthetic materials
Matched to blend seamlessly with your smile
Crowns play an essential role in rebuilding smiles while maintaining long-term oral health.
Invisalign: Straighten Your Smile Discreetly
For patients seeking a straighter smile without traditional braces, Invisalign offers a clear, comfortable solution.
Why Invisalign?
Nearly invisible aligners
Removable for eating and cleaning
Gradual, controlled tooth movement
Ideal for teens and adults
Invisalign is often combined with other cosmetic treatments to achieve optimal smile harmony.
