Smile Makeovers: How Invisalign, Veneers and Implants Work Together

A smile makeover is a personalised treatment plan that combines cosmetic and restorative dentistry to enhance both the appearance and function of the smile. At Hermitage Dental Practice, smile makeovers are designed with a whole-face approach in mind, recognising that teeth, lips and facial features all contribute to a balanced and confident smile.

What is included in a smile makeover?

Smile makeovers can include Invisalign, veneers, composite bonding, dental implants and teeth whitening. Where appropriate, facial aesthetic treatments such as anti-wrinkle treatment and lip fillers may also be considered to complement dental improvements and support overall facial harmony. All treatments are carefully planned to work together in a safe, measured and natural way.

Can Invisalign and veneers be combined?

Yes, Invisalign is often used to align teeth before placing veneers. This allows for more conservative tooth preparation and helps achieve optimal aesthetic results. Aligning the teeth first can also improve bite function and the longevity of the final restorations.

How long does a smile makeover take?

Treatment timelines vary depending on complexity and the combination of treatments involved. Some smile makeovers can be completed within a few months, while others may take longer, particularly when orthodontics or dental implants are required. Facial aesthetic treatments are typically planned alongside dental care once the foundation of the smile has been established. Clear guidance is provided during consultation so patients understand each stage of treatment.

How is a smile makeover planned?

Smile makeovers at Hermitage Dental Practice are planned using advanced digital technology to ensure precision and predictability. This includes CBCT scanning to assess bone structure and plan dental implants safely, as well as 3D iTero scans to capture highly accurate digital impressions without the need for traditional moulds.

Digital photographs and smile analysis are used to design a bespoke treatment plan tailored to each patient’s goals. Our in-house laboratory and printer allow for the efficient production of crowns, bridges and temporary restorations, supporting faster turnaround times and continuity of care, including during implant treatment.

A smile makeover is not just about appearance. It can improve oral health, facial balance, confidence and overall quality of life by restoring comfort, function and harmony.
