Let's digitally design your new smile.
Imagine a smile that’s tailored just for you.
At expatdental®, we understand that a confident smile may transform more than just your appearance—it may enhance your self-esteem, personal interactions, and overall well-being. Our internationally qualified team blends technology-driven techniques with skilled care to help create customised Smile Transformations tailored uniquely to you.
What is a Smile Transformation?
A smile transformation is a personalised journey designed to improve the look, comfort, and balance of your smile. It’s not just about having beautiful teeth — it’s also about how well they function and how confident you feel sharing your smile every day.
At expatdental®, your treatment plan is tailored just for you. Depending on your goals, it might include options like whitening, veneers (porcelain or composite), aligners, or other restorative care. Veneers, for example, are a popular choice to manage discolouration, close small gaps, or restore chipped teeth — all while keeping your smile looking natural.
Whatever you choose, our goal is to help you achieve a healthy, confident smile that fits your lifestyle and lasts for years to come.

Curious about what a Smile Transformation involves?
Take a look through our step-by-step guide to see how we combine technology, design, and personalised care to help you achieve your dream smile.
What questions do you have?
A Smile Transformation is suitable for anyone who wants to enhance their smile, whether for aesthetic or functional reasons. Some people may only need minor refinements, like whitening or a veneer or two, while others may benefit from more comprehensive treatment to restore worn teeth, improve bite alignment, or replace missing teeth. Before starting, a full clinical exam is required to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy and ready for treatment.
Your initial Smile Transformation Consultation is complimentary — it includes a full clinical exam, a discussion of your concerns and goals, and detailed digital scans, X-rays, and photos.
If you choose to preview your new smile, a Mock Trial Smile is available for $600 (+GST) — this fee is credited toward your treatment if you decide to go ahead.
What’s included:
- Full dental exam and smile assessment
- High-quality digital scans and X-rays
- 3D-printed trial smile so you can “test drive” your new look
- Personalised treatment plan and clear payment options
A follow-up consultation with a specialist if needed.
Not at all. The consultation and Mock Trial are completely non-invasive — no injections, no drilling, and no changes to your natural teeth. It’s designed to give you a preview of your future smile in the most comfortable way possible.
Every Smile Transformation is tailored to your unique smile, goals, and treatment needs. The total cost depends on the procedures involved — for example, whether you need whitening and a couple of veneers or a full-mouth rehabilitation with implants and aligners. A detailed breakdown of treatment options, costs, and payment plans will be shared during your consultation. We also offer flexible payment plans to help you manage your investment comfortably.
Your timeline depends on the complexity of your treatment:
- Simpler cases (like whitening, minor veneers, or bonding): 4–6 weeks over 2–4 visits.
- More advanced cases (including aligners, implants, or full mouth restoration): Several months to a year or more, depending on your personalised plan.
We’ll discuss your expected timeline clearly so you know what to expect at each stage.
Maintaining your beautiful new smile is easy with good habits and routine care:
- Brush and floss daily to keep teeth and gums healthy
- Schedule regular hygiene visits for professional cleaning and checks
- Avoid biting hard objects or using your teeth to open packaging
- Wear a nightguard if recommended to protect against grinding
We’re always here to guide you on how to keep your smile looking its best for years to come.
We use high-quality materials to match your specific needs and preferences:
- Composite: A cost-effective option for quick aesthetic improvements.
- Porcelain: Known for its natural look and beautiful blend with your existing teeth.
- Zirconia: Extremely durable, ideal for strength and long-lasting results.
Your dentist will help you choose the best material for your treatment, balancing aesthetics, durability, and your budget.
Absolutely. Every Smile Transformation is carefully designed using advanced digital tools to match your unique facial features, bite, and personal style. You’ll also wear a Trial Smile for 24 hours so you can see and feel how your new smile fits your everyday life before making any permanent changes.
Your comfort and satisfaction are our top priority. After your final placement, we schedule a 48-hour check-in and a two-week review to ensure everything feels and looks just right. If any refinements are needed, we’ll take care of them promptly.
