Smile Makeover in Wellington
Your smile is one of the first things people notice about you, and it can have a significant impact on your self-confidence and overall well-being. If you find yourself hiding your teeth in photos or feeling self-conscious when you laugh, a custom Smile Makeover at Newtown Dental could be the transformative experience you’re looking for.
A Smile Makeover is not a single procedure, but rather a comprehensive, bespoke treatment plan designed to dramatically improve the aesthetics of your smile while ensuring optimal oral health.
What does a Smile Makeover include?
Because every smile is unique, no two Smile Makeovers are exactly alike. Our experienced cosmetic dentists, including Dr Varsha Jeyaprakash (who holds a Masters in Aesthetic Dentistry), will work closely with you to understand your goals.
Depending on your needs, your tailored treatment plan may combine several of the following cosmetic and restorative procedures:
- In-Clinic Teeth Whitening: To lift deep stains and brighten your overall smile by several shades in a single visit.
- Porcelain Veneers: Thin, custom-made ceramic shells bonded to the front of your teeth to correct chips, gaps, severe discolouration, or minor misalignments.
- SureSmile® Orthodontics: Advanced clear aligners to straighten crooked or crowded teeth discreetly and efficiently.
- Dental Crowns: To restore the shape, size, and strength of severely damaged or decayed teeth using natural-looking ceramics.
- Dental Implants or Bridges: To permanently replace missing teeth and restore a complete, seamless smile.
- White Composite Fillings: Replacing old, dark silver amalgam fillings with tooth-coloured composite resin for a natural look.
The Smile Makeover Process
When you opt for a Smile Makeover at Newtown Dental, you are choosing a practice that prioritises personalised, comprehensive care.
The Consultation
We begin by discussing what you like and dislike about your current smile. We will assess your facial structure, skin tone, tooth colour, and lip line to design a smile that looks entirely natural for you.
Digital Smile Design
Using advanced dental technology and 3D imaging, we map out your treatment plan. In many cases, we can show you a digital preview of your expected results before any clinical work begins.
Treatment Phasing
Because a makeover often involves multiple procedures, we schedule your treatments in a logical sequence that respects your time and budget.
The Reveal
We complete your final restorations, leaving you with a beautiful, confident smile that enhances your appearance and boosts your self-esteem.
How much does a Smile Makeover cost?
Because a Smile Makeover is a highly customised combination of treatments, the cost varies significantly from patient to patient. A makeover consisting of teeth whitening and a few composite fillings will cost less than a plan requiring orthodontics and porcelain veneers.
During your initial consultation, we will provide a comprehensive, transparent quote detailing the cost of each proposed procedure. We offer flexible payment options, including Q Card and Afterpay, allowing you to spread the cost of your investment over time.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
How long does a Smile Makeover take?
The timeline depends entirely on the procedures involved. A makeover focused on whitening and bonding can be completed in a few weeks. If your plan includes SureSmile orthodontics or dental implants, the process will take several months. We will provide a clear timeline during your consultation.
Will my new smile look natural?
Yes. Our goal is to create a smile that enhances your natural features, not one that looks artificial or "too perfect." We carefully select the shade, shape, and translucency of your restorations to mimic natural tooth enamel perfectly.
Are cosmetic dental procedures covered by insurance?
Generally, purely cosmetic procedures (like whitening or veneers) are not covered by health insurance. However, if a procedure has a restorative health benefit (such as a crown to fix a broken tooth), a portion of it may be covered. We recommend checking with your provider.
