If you’ve been hiding your smile in photos or feeling self-conscious about your teeth, you’re not alone. Many Mosman residents wonder about smile makeovers but aren’t sure what they involve or whether the investment is worthwhile.
A smile makeover can transform not just your appearance but your confidence too. At Advanced Dental Care Mosman Dentist, we take a personalised, patient-first approach to smile design. Let’s break down what you can expect to pay, what’s included, and whether it’s the right choice for you.
What Is a Smile Makeover?
A smile makeover is a personalised treatment plan designed to improve how your teeth look and function. Unlike a single cosmetic procedure, it combines multiple treatments based on your unique goals and dental needs.
At Advanced Dental Care Mosman, Dr Priya Shanmugalingam offers a complimentary 30-minute Smile Makeover Consultation to discuss your options and create a plan that works for you.
What’s Typically Included in a Smile Makeover?
Every smile makeover is different, but most include a combination of these treatments:
Teeth Whitening
Professional whitening brightens discoloured or stained teeth, giving you a fresher, more youthful appearance.
Porcelain or Composite Veneers

Veneers are thin shells that cover the front surface of your teeth, perfect for fixing chips, cracks, gaps, or uneven teeth. Porcelain veneers offer better durability and a natural look, while composite veneers are more budget-friendly.
Clear Aligners (Invisalign)

If your teeth are crowded or misaligned, clear aligners gently straighten them without traditional braces. They’re discreet, removable, and perfect for adults.
Dental Crowns or Bridges
For damaged or missing teeth, crowns and bridges restore both function and aesthetics. They’re custom-made to match your natural teeth.
Dental Implants

Missing a tooth? Dental implants are the best option for replacement. They look and function like natural teeth while maintaining jaw health.
Gum Contouring
If you have a “gummy” smile or uneven gum line, contouring can reshape your gums for better symmetry.

Is a Smile Makeover Worth It?
For many patients, a smile makeover is one of the best investments they’ve made:
Boosts Confidence
When you love your smile, you feel more confident in social and professional situations.
Long-Lasting Results
With proper care, treatments like porcelain veneers and dental implants can last 10-20 years or more.
Better Oral Health
Straightening misaligned teeth and replacing missing teeth improves your bite, prevents jaw pain, and makes cleaning easier.
Designed for You
Your makeover is built around your facial structure and personal goals, creating a natural-looking smile that’s uniquely yours.
Does Health Insurance Cover Smile Makeovers?
Most procedures are considered cosmetic and typically aren’t covered. But if treatments are medically necessary (like crowns or implants), you may get partial rebates. Check with your provider to see what’s included.
