So you’ve been thinking about changing how your smile looks. Maybe it’s the colour that’s bothering you, or those gaps between your teeth, or maybe you’ve just had enough of hiding your smile in photos. The good news? You’ve got options right here in the Macedon Ranges.
A
smile makeover isn’t one single thing. It’s basically a custom plan that combines different cosmetic treatments to address whatever’s bothering you about your smile. At New Gisborne Dental House, we’ve been doing this for nearly 40 years, helping families across Gisborne, Macedon, Riddells Creek, and Woodend feel better about their smiles.
Dr Lyle’s got a Graduate Diploma of Implantology and has done extensive training in
cosmetic dentistry and
Invisalign. Dr Warren’s worked across four continents doing cosmetic and
implant work. And Dr Elly? She’s all about making sure you feel comfortable and looked after throughout the whole process, especially if you’re nervous about dental treatment.
Here’s the thing though. Not every smile makeover looks the same. What works for your neighbour might not work for you. It all depends on what you want to change and what’s actually possible for your teeth.
How It All Works
Everything kicks off with a chat. You’ll come in for a complimentary consultation where we sit down and talk about what you’d like to change. Seriously, no pressure, just a conversation about your goals.
We’ll take some photos, do digital scans, and sometimes X-rays so we can see what we’re working with. This part’s important because we need to make sure your teeth and gums are healthy before we start on cosmetic stuff. If there are any issues lurking underneath, we’ll need to sort those out first.
Dr Lyle can whip up digital smile designs on the computer, which is pretty cool. You get to see a preview of what’s possible before you commit to anything. Just keep in mind these are simulations. Individual results vary, and not everyone can achieve every outcome. But it gives you a pretty good idea of where we could take things.
Then we’ll put together a treatment plan with realistic timeframes and clear costs. No vague “it depends” answers. You’ll know exactly what you’re looking at.
What Might Go Into Your Plan
Think of it like a menu where we pick the treatments that make sense for your situation.
The combination? That’s completely up to what you want and what your teeth need.
Timeframes are all over the place too. Some people are done in a few weeks if they’re just doing whitening and bonding. Others might be looking at 12 to 18 months if orthodontics and multiple treatments are involved. We’ll give you the realistic timeline at your consultation.
Let’s Talk Money
Right, so this is where it gets tricky to give you exact numbers. A plan involving just whitening and a bit of bonding is going to cost way less than one with veneers, implants, and Invisalign. We don’t do cookie-cutter pricing because we don’t do cookie-cutter treatment plans.
What we will do is give you detailed pricing at your consultation based on your specific plan. And we’ve got flexible payment options through TruePay if you want to spread things out over manageable chunks.
