✨ What Is a Smile Glow-Up?

In today’s world of selfies, Zoom meetings, and social media, your smile is one of the first things people notice. For many under 40s, a smile glow-up—also known as a smile makeover—is a way to boost confidence, refresh appearance, and show off a smile that feels as good as it looks.

At Renew Dental Lounge in Upper Mount Gravatt, we create tailored smile transformations that combine cosmetic and restorative dentistry to help you achieve a smile that’s natural, healthy, and uniquely yours.

🌟 Why Under 40s Are Choosing Smile Makeovers

People in their 20s and 30s often consider a smile makeover for reasons such as:

• Confidence Boost – Your smile is central to first impressions, dating, and career opportunities.
• Lifestyle & Social Media – Photos, events, and social sharing make a confident smile more important than ever.
• Preventative Approach – Making small changes now helps avoid bigger dental issues later.
• Personal Expression – Your smile should reflect your personality and style.

🪞 What’s Involved in a Smile Makeover?

A smile makeover is completely customised to your goals. At your consultation, Dr Sharon will discuss your concerns and design a treatment plan using the latest digital technology to show you what your smile could look like.

Here are some of the most popular treatments for under 40s:

1. Teeth Whitening (Professional Glow-Up)

Fast, safe, and effective—professional whitening treatments (like Pola Rapid) can brighten your smile by several shades in just one visit. Perfect for events, weddings, or just feeling photo-ready.

2. Clear Aligners

Crooked teeth? Clear aligners offer a discreet way to straighten your smile without braces. With brands like Angel Aligners, you can preview your new smile in 3D before treatment even begins.

See your future smile with a complimentary, no obligation, 3D scan and tailored 3D digital clear aligner plan before you decide on treatment.

3. Cosmetic Bonding

Small chips, gaps, or uneven edges can be corrected quickly with bonding. This minimally invasive treatment uses tooth-coloured resin to reshape and refine your teeth.

4. Veneers

For a complete smile transformation, veneers provide a flawless, long-lasting result. They can correct colour, shape, size, and alignment in one treatment.

5. Gum Contouring

If your smile feels “gummy” or uneven, gentle re-contouring can reshape the gum line for a more balanced look. Muscle relaxant injections can reduce the tightness in the top lip to disguise the gummy smile too.

6. Replacing Old Fillings or Restorations

Outdated silver fillings or worn dental work can be replaced with modern, natural-looking alternatives to refresh your smile.

❓ FAQs About Smile Makeovers

1. What is the difference between a smile makeover and teeth whitening?

Whitening brightens your existing teeth, while a smile makeover can include whitening plus other treatments like aligners, veneers, or bonding to transform your overall smile.

2. How long does a smile makeover take?

It depends on the treatments chosen—some patients see results in just one visit (whitening or bonding), while others may need several months (clear aligners or veneers).

3. Is a smile makeover painful?

Most cosmetic treatments are minimally invasive and virtually painless. We also offer options like happy gas or twilight sedation for anxious patients.

4. Are smile makeovers expensive?

Costs vary depending on your treatment plan. At Renew Dental Lounge, we offer transparent pricing, flexible payment plans, and finance options like Afterpay and Supercare.

5. Will my smile look natural after a makeover?

Absolutely. Our goal is to create a smile that enhances your natural features—not a fake or “too-perfect” look. Every makeover is personalised to you.
