A great smile for your wedding at Brisbane Smile Boutique
A wedding day is one of the most important days in a person's life, and many people want to look their best on this special day. A smile makeover involves cosmetic dentistry procedures that may help improve the appearance of a person's smile. Some common procedures included in a smile makeover are teeth whitening, dental veneers, dental crowns, and orthodontic treatments.
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental treatment that can brighten and whiten teeth, removing stains and discolourations caused by ageing, coffee, tobacco use, or other factors.
Dental veneers are thin, custom made shells that cover the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance, and dental crowns are tooth shaped caps that cover damaged or discoloured teeth.
Orthodontic treatments such as clear aligners like Invisalign can be used to straighten crooked or misaligned teeth, helping to improve the overall appearance of the smile. Invisalign should be considered at least nine months prior to your wedding.
A smile makeover requires a customised treatment plan, and the procedures chosen will depend on each person's unique needs and goals. It's also important to plan ahead and allow enough time for the procedures to be completed before the wedding day.

The Most Popular Dental Treatments For a wedding
Tooth Whitening
Teeth discolouration happens over time with the food we eat and drinks, such as with tea, chocolate, wine and coffee. Smoking and some medications can also discolour teeth.
Discoloured teeth can be lightened with tooth whitening to rejuvenate your appearance for your special day. Zoom Teeth Whitening at Brisbane Smile Boutique is safe and highly effective to lift your teeth up to eight shades brighter in one appointment.
Minimum time needed for treatment: One or two weeks before your wedding day.
Invisalign
Get straighter teeth with hardly anyone knowing with Invisalign clear aligners to give you your perfect smile.
Minimum time needed for treatment: nine months before your wedding day
Gum Contouring
For patients with gummy smiles, we provide gum contouring, a process of removing excess gum tissue which might be covering your teeth.
Minimum time needed for treatment: A month prior to the wedding
Dental Implants
If you need a one or a few teeth replaced to complete your smile, we can place and restore dental implants. When replacing teeth individually, we add a porcelain crown over the implant to make it appear like a real tooth.

Porcelain Veneers can be placed directly over your

Risks of treatment
Undergoing any invasive or surgical dental procedure, including those offered at Brisbane Smile Boutique, inherently involves certain risks. It is crucial for patients to understand these risks and consider seeking a second opinion from another qualified health practitioner before proceeding with treatment.
At Brisbane Smile Boutique, the commitment to patient safety and informed decision-making is paramount. Patients are required to undergo a comprehensive dental examination and consultation appointment. This process ensures that they are suitable candidates for the proposed procedures and that they fully understand all aspects of the treatment, including potential risks and outcomes.
The photos displayed on the Brisbane Smile Boutique website are of actual patients treated by Dr. Leila Haywood. While these images serve as a general representation of the treatment outcomes, it is important to note that individual results can vary significantly. This variation underscores the fact that no single dental treatment is universally suitable for every patient.
Dentists at Brisbane Smile Boutique are dedicated to providing care that is specifically tailored to the needs and circumstances of each individual patient. This personalised approach ensures that only suitable treatments are recommended and performed, aligning with the highest standards of dental care and patient safety.
