where to begin
What a full smile makeover is
A full smile makeover — sometimes called a full mouth rehabilitation — brings together restorative and cosmetic dentistry to address more complex concerns: damaged or worn teeth, missing teeth, or changes in bite and alignment.
It isn't one treatment but a coordinated plan, which may combine veneers, crowns, bridges, implants or orthodontic options. Each plan is designed individually — around your needs, your features, and your long-term oral health.
Precision, Designed In.
why choose our studio
Where complex work is coordinated as a whole
Comprehensive care for complex needs
Multiple concerns addressed through one coordinated treatment plan, rather than a series of disconnected procedures.
Rebuilding function
Aims to restore the ability to eat, speak and smile comfortably — addressing how your smile works, not only how it looks.
Co-designed with you
Through Digital Smile Design and a smile preview with try-on, your plan is designed in collaboration with you — around your goals, features and preferences.
Crafted right here in Ashburton
Our lead technician uses high-quality materials and precision methods, designed to support both oral health and how each restoration integrates with your features.
Because a makeover can combine several treatments, it's planned in full before anything begins — every stage considered against your oral health and comfort. Meet the Studio team
The Studio Experience
How a makeover works
A considered sequence, planned in full before anything begins — so a complex journey feels clear, not overwhelming.
I
Consultation & design
We begin with a thorough assessment and Digital Smile Design, mapping out the full sequence of treatments your plan may involve — so you can see it before we start.
II
Your smile preview
Try on a physical mock-up of your smile, so every detail is assessed and discussed — and you can make an informed decision before treatment begins.
III
Precision craftsmanship
Each stage is carried out in sequence, with our on-site laboratory and lead technician refining every detail — designed around your own teeth and features.
IV
Ongoing support
We're with you through every stage and beyond, with follow-up care and guidance — so your restored smile is looked after over time.
WORTH KNOWING
Because a makeover combines several treatments, it usually unfolds over months — sometimes up to a year. Your written plan sets out the full sequence and timeline before anything begins.
This is the makeover journey. See how the full Studio process works, stage by stage — The Process.
Potential Risks & Considerations
Risks and considerations
A smile makeover is a personalised plan that may combine different procedures — so the risks vary depending on which treatments are included. Outcomes vary from person to person. Some general considerations:
Multiple treatments
A makeover often involves several stages. Each stage carries its own potential risks, outlined in the relevant treatment information — for example veneers, orthodontics, or implants.
Time commitment
Comprehensive treatment may take months to complete and may require ongoing adjustments along the way.
Variability of outcomes
Not all planned movements, colour changes, or restorations may behave as expected. Refinements or additional treatment may be needed.
Cost and maintenance
Multiple treatments can increase the financial investment and require long-term care, including maintenance of restorations or appliances.
Combined risks
When treatments are combined, the potential risks of each apply — for example, veneers may cause sensitivity, orthodontics may affect root length, and implants carry surgical risks.
Longevity
Results are not permanent; individual treatments may need replacement or revision over time. Lifestyle factors such as smoking, diet, oral hygiene and general health can all influence durability.
Suitability
Your dentist will discuss the specific risks and benefits of each procedure that may be included in your personalised plan. A smile makeover may not be suitable for everyone, and a full consultation is required to determine your options — including alternative approaches.

What a makeover costs
A makeover is quoted individually — more so than any other treatment, because it combines several procedures, and no two plans are alike. The cost depends entirely on which treatments your plan includes.
What doesn't vary is how you'll find out. Your first consultation happens across two parts — an initial appointment and a smile preview appointment — and your itemised plan, setting out every stage, comes to you in writing after the second. You take it home and decide in your own time.

YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED WITH CARE
What people ask about full smile makeovers
A full smile makeover, also known as a full mouth rehabilitation, brings together restorative and cosmetic dental treatments to help rebuild the health, function, and appearance of your smile. Depending on your individual needs, this may include treatments such as veneers, crowns, bridges, dental implants, or orthodontic options. Your dentist will complete a thorough assessment and work with you to create a personalised treatment plan that addresses your goals while maintaining long-term oral health.
A full smile makeover may be suitable for people with multiple concerns — such as damaged or worn teeth, missing teeth, or changes in bite or alignment. Suitability depends on your oral health, bone and gum condition, and general health. Your dentist will carry out a comprehensive examination and discuss all available options, including alternative approaches, to determine what is most appropriate for your situation.
The timeframe varies for each person depending on the number and type of treatments involved, but typically ranges from a few months to a year. Some can be completed within a few weeks, while others that include implants or orthodontic treatment may take several months or more. Your dentist will provide a detailed plan and timeline once your individual treatment sequence has been confirmed.
Every person's experience is different. Some procedures may cause temporary sensitivity or mild discomfort. Your dentist will discuss what to expect at each stage and can use local anaesthesia where required to help you remain comfortable during treatment. Any sensitivity or tenderness after appointments is usually short-term and can be managed with the care advice provided to you.
Good daily oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups are essential to maintain your results. Brushing and flossing as recommended, attending review appointments, and avoiding habits such as biting hard foods or grinding can all help preserve your restorations. Your dentist and our Patient Coordinator will provide specific after-care instructions tailored to your treatment plan to support your long-term oral health.
