Preview your smile makeover before committing to any treatment
At Smile Solutions we provide a reversible preview of a smile makeover through a physical mock-up using temporary resin applied over your natural teeth. This unique approach allows you to feel and visualise the proposed changes in shape, size, length, position, and colour. It also helps you understand your various options, including the number of veneers required and the potential benefits of a gum lift. Through this process, we ensure that you are well-informed about the available treatment options.
To experience a mock-up reveal for yourself, get started with a Complimentary Cosmetic Consultation.
Video features Dr Ryan Sherry (DEN0002124765) – Registered Dentist, General Registration. This video demonstrates an example of the mockup process. Results may vary, and your dentist will discuss suitability, alternative treatment options, and any associated risks. A mockup is an elective step and your dentist will also review other treatment options if appropriate. More information on treatment considerations can be found here.
Multi-layering technique for porcelain veneers
We pride ourselves on offering the advanced multi-layering technique for porcelain veneers. This method involves meticulously applying several thin layers of porcelain to craft veneers that closely mimic the natural enamel and dentin of your teeth. The attention to intricate details, such as translucency, colour, and texture, ensures that your veneers blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a beautifully natural and long-lasting smile. You can trust our team to deliver exceptional aesthetic results with the highest level of precision and care.
Custom hand crafted veneers are a thin sheet of porcelain used to beautify the aesthetics of the tooth in both colour and shape. Always follow the directions or use. All photos and videos are shared with full patient consent. No filters, AI alterations, or unrealistic lighting have been applied. Results, recovery times and potential risks vary for each individual and procedure. The information provided here is general in nature and intended for those over the age of 18. Undergoing any dental or cosmetic procedure is a significant decision, and patients should seek independent advice from a qualified, AHPRA-registered practitioner before proceeding. Further details about this procedure, including potential risks, are available here.
