When it comes to smiles, confidence is our currency.

Got Hollywood on the mind? We’ve got you. Want a more natural vibe? We’re pros. Whatever your ‘dream smile’ is, we can help you to create it. Here’s how . . .
What Can Be Included in a Smile Makeover?
A smile makeover may involve one or more of the following treatments:
Teeth Whitening: Brightens and refreshes discoloured teeth for a healthier appearance.
Clear Aligners, including Invisalign: Straightens misaligned teeth, enhancing both function and aesthetics.
Veneers or Bonding: Corrects chips, stains, and uneven teeth to create a seamless, harmonious look.
Gum Reshaping: Addresses excessive or uneven gum tissue to improve symmetry and balance.
Digital Smile Design & 3D-Printed Mockups: Utilises cutting-edge technology to preview and refine the outcome before treatment begins.
At Smile Haus, we take a biomimetic approach—this means preserving as much of the natural tooth structure as possible while enhancing overall aesthetics. Our goal is to mimic the beauty and function of natural teeth, ensuring a smile that’s both stunning and sustainable..
The Smile Haus Approach to Invisalign & Orthodontics
One of the most common components of a smile makeover is teeth straightening, and clear aligners have revolutionised how we approach orthodontics. At Smile Haus, our clear aligners brand of choice is Invisalign. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners that are custom-made to gradually shift teeth into their ideal positions. The biggest advantage? Convenience! They’re so discreet and flexible that many of our patients have undergone treatment throughout major life events—even weddings. On the big day, simply remove aligners for photos and pop them back in afterwards!
However, compliance is key—Invisalign only works if worn consistently. That’s why younger children are often better suited for traditional braces, which provide a more reliable solution for those who might struggle to keep track of aligners. At Smile Haus, we collaborate with leading orthodontists to ensure the best outcome for our patients, combining expertise with cutting-edge 3D design technology to tailor each treatment plan.
The Art of Cosmetic Dentistry: A Minimally Invasive Approach
We’re passionate about minimally invasive dentistry, also known as ‘prepless’ or tooth-friendly dentistry. Unlike traditional methods that require excessive trimming of teeth, we focus on designing smiles digitally to move teeth into their ideal position before making any structural changes. This means we preserve more of your natural teeth while still achieving stunning cosmetic improvements.
Our point of difference? Gentle, minimally invasive, and highly customised care. We take full records, photos, and even full-face scans to ensure that your new smile harmonises beautifully with your facial features. And with 3D printing technology, we can even create a ‘trial smile’—allowing you to try out your new teeth in under an hour before committing to any permanent work.
Exploring Veneers: A Customised Solution
Veneers are an excellent choice for those looking to refine the shape, width, length, or colour of their teeth. We offer three different types:
Composite Veneers (Direct Veneers): Made from ceramic resin, these are applied directly to teeth and can be completed in a single visit. They are 100% reversible, making them a great option for younger patients.
Hybrid Veneers (3D-Printed Veneers): Designed digitally and 3D-printed from ceramic resin, these ultra-thin veneers offer a natural look and are completed quickly.
Ceramic Veneers: Custom-crafted by skilled technicians, these are the premium option. They offer the most personalised aesthetics, from colour matching to unique surface textures, making them ideal for those seeking a truly bespoke result.
Dental Implants: A Natural-Looking Tooth Replacement
For patients missing a tooth, implants provide the closest alternative to a natural tooth. Made from titanium or zirconia, implants replace the tooth root and are topped with a custom porcelain crown. However, we always prioritise preserving natural teeth whenever possible and only recommend implants when absolutely necessary. Just like with all our treatments, gum health is a key consideration—healthy gums are essential to ensuring a long-lasting, natural-looking result.
So, What Makes a Great Smile?
Confidence is the key to any smile. But what makes a smile truly shine? It’s not just about perfectly straight or white teeth—it’s about balance, harmony, and what suits each individual best.
There are generally two types of desirable smiles, requested in the clinic:
The “Hollywood Smile” – A polished, symmetrical, and perfectly aligned look.
The “Natural Smile” – A beautifully imperfect balance that complements the face’s natural features.
Alongside our patients’ smile goals, at Smile Haus, we take a biomimetic approach—mimicking nature rather than following strict ratios or formulas.
As such, every smile we create is unique, taking into account:
Facial form, smile lines, and lips to ensure natural harmony.
Pink aesthetics (gum health) because even the best teeth don’t look great with unhealthy gums. Think of it like a beautiful painting in a wonky frame . . . your masterpiece deserves the best finishing touch!
Macro aesthetics including tooth shape, width, and colour.
Micro aesthetics such as subtle textures, translucency, and natural imperfections that make teeth look real.
At the end of the day, the most beautiful smiles are the ones that reflect confidence. And that’s exactly what we strive to achieve at Smile Haus—smiles that not only look amazing but make you feel incredible too.
