What a smile makeover actually is
shine above all else

A smile makeover is simply cosmetic dentistry, planned as a whole— chosen around your face, your concerns, and what genuinely suits you.

The look people sometimes call a “Hollywood smile” — even, bright and well-proportioned — comes from careful planning rather than any single treatment. Smile design brings together minimally invasive, aesthetic dentistry so that function and appearance work in harmony with the rest of your face.

Whether the answer is whitening, veneers, crowns, tooth-coloured fillings, or a combination, the starting point is always the same: understanding what you’d like to change, followed by a clinical assessment to confirm what may be suitable for you. Outcomes vary between patients, and not every option suits every person.

Factors that shape a smile.

A number of everyday factors can change how a smile looks and feels. A smile design considers any of these — individually or together — after examining your teeth, gums and bite.

  • Crooked and crowded teeth
  • Missing teeth
  • Discoloured teeth
  • Misaligned teeth
  • Amalgam (silver) fillings
  • Worn and broken teeth
  • Gaps between teeth

Cosmetic dentistry, combined in smile design.

Norlane Dental offers a range of cosmetic treatments that can be used on their own or planned together as part of a smile design. Suitability for any treatment is confirmed after a clinical assessment.
N° 01
Cosmetic
Teeth whitening
A professional approach to brightening teeth affected by everyday staining and discolouration. Whitening can be carried out in the practice or at home, isn’t suitable for everyone, and is checked first by your Norlane dentist. Individual results vary.

N° 02
Cosmetic
ZOOM!® in-chair whitening
An in-practice whitening process that uses a chairside lamp to help lift more stubborn discolouration that everyday whitening may not address. Suitability is assessed first and individual results vary.
Visit the page
N° 03
Cosmetic · Restorative
Porcelain veneers & crowns
Thin, custom-made ceramic shells (veneers) bonded to the front of teeth, and crowns that fit over a tooth to help restore its shape and strength. Both are made individually to resemble natural tooth enamel.
Visit the page
N° 04
Cosmetic · Restorative
Porcelain fillings
Durable, tooth-coloured restorations custom-made outside the mouth and then bonded to the tooth — well suited to larger fillings and cracked teeth, and matched to your natural tooth shade.
Visit the page

N° 05

Cosmetic
Align, bleach & bond
A combined, often more conservative approach — gently aligning, then brightening, then bonding — that may be suitable for selected smiles. Your dentist will explain whether it fits your situation.
Visit the page

N° 06

Restorative
Same-day CEREC® crowns
Digitally designed and milled crowns that, in suitable cases, can be completed in a single visit — another option that may form part of a wider smile design.

    How it works

    The process.

    Good preparation matters more than any single treatment. Here is how a smile design typically unfolds at our Norlane practice — unhurried, and planned with you at every step.

    Planned precisely, before anything begins.

    Considered care
    We plan your smile first — so you can see and discuss the proposed result before treatment starts.

    01.

    Consultation
    Listening first
    We talk through what you’d like to change and examine your teeth, gums and bite. Photographs and any necessary imaging help build the full picture.

    02.

    Planning
    A wax-up or trial smile
    Before any treatment begins, we plan your smile — often with a wax-up or a trial “try-in” — so the proposed result can be seen and discussed with you.

    03.

    Treatment
    Step by step
    Treatment is carried out in planned stages, using contemporary techniques and materials chosen to suit each individual case.

    04.

    Review
    Reviewing together
    We review the result with you and provide guidance on caring for your smile day to day, including any ongoing maintenance.
    Smile design is tailored to each person. Suitability, treatment options and outcomes can only be confirmed after a clinical assessment — and outcomes vary between patients. Every treatment carries its own benefits and risks, which we will discuss with you.
    Selected cases

    Any clinical images are published only with the patient’s written consent and are not intended to mislead.

    Before

    after

    Before

    after

    Case N° 02 —
    Bridge · tooth preservation

    Before

    after

    Case N° 03 —
    Crowns · full upper arch
    A full upper smile design using minimal-preparation crowns; tooth length was increased and the dental midline “cant” corrected.

    Before

    after

    Case N° 04 —

    Crowns & implants
    Fractured front teeth restored with a combination of crowns and implants, following detailed planning.

    Before

    after

    Case N° 05 —

    Crowns · alternative to braces
    Minimal-preparation crowns on the upper teeth, chosen as an alternative to orthodontics after the options were discussed.

    Before

    after

    Case N° 06 —

    Zirconia crowns · worn dentition
    Worn teeth affected by bruxism (night-time grinding) rebuilt with minimal-preparation zirconia crowns, with an increase in tooth height.
    These are individual examples, not a prediction of any particular result. Smile design is planned individually; suitability can only be confirmed after a clinical assessment, outcomes vary between patients, and every treatment carries its own benefits and risks.
