The refresh
If your teeth are mostly healthy and well-aligned but you want them brighter and cleaner-looking, a refresh package usually includes:
Professional whitening
Composite bonding on 4–6 front teeth to fix small chips, gaps, or worn edges
Gum contouring if needed
Final smile design + adjustments: included.
Result: a noticeably brighter, more even smile in 2–3 visits.
The upper-only veneer upgrade
If you want porcelain-level results without going to full veneers, this tier typically includes:
Whitening
Porcelain veneers on 4 upper front teeth
Bonding on canine teeth to blend
Gum contouring, midline correction, polish
The full upper makeover
8–10 porcelain veneers on the upper arch, covering everything that shows when you smile.
Porcelain veneers (8)
Whitening of lower teeth to match
Bite analysis and adjustment if needed
Smile design + digital preview: included.
Which whitening approach fits your smile?
Three questions. No email needed.
The full mouth makeover
Both upper AND lower veneers (or veneers + crowns combo). Reserved for cases where the lower teeth are also visible when speaking or laughing.
Upper veneers (8)
Lower veneers or crowns (6–8)
Bite analysis, occlusion design
This is the largest makeover we do, so your written treatment plan itemizes every part of it.
Add-ons that can change everything
Invisalign first: if your teeth are crowded, aligning first means we use fewer veneers (or none at all), and the long-term result is better because the bite is right.
Implants for missing teeth: veneers can’t fill an empty space.
Gum grafting: if gums have receded, soft-tissue work creates the proportions for a beautiful smile.
What we won’t quote you
We won’t quote a smile makeover sight-unseen. The whole point of a real cosmetic consultation is to look at your bite, your facial proportions, your goals, and your budget, and design accordingly. A 5-minute online quote is sales bait.
What we WILL do at a free consultation: take a 3D scan, render a digital preview of your projected smile, and give you a written treatment plan with itemized cost.
Wondering if veneers are right for your teeth?
Ask Dr. PedersenFinancing makes most of it monthly

Frequently Asked Questions
Will insurance cover any of a smile makeover?
Purely cosmetic procedures (whitening, cosmetic veneers, cosmetic bonding) are typically not covered. However, components that have a restorative purpose, replacing failed crowns, fixing decayed teeth, may be partially covered. We code submissions transparently.
How long does a smile makeover take?
Refresh: 2–3 visits over 2–4 weeks. Upgrade: 3–5 visits over 4–8 weeks. Full upper: 4–6 visits over 6–10 weeks. With Invisalign first, add 6–18 months.
How long do smile makeover results last?
Veneers: 10–20 years. Composite bonding: 5–10 years. Whitening: 6 months to 2 years between touch-ups. Implants: 25+ years.
Can I see what my new smile will look like before treatment?
Yes. Your free consultation includes a digital 3D scan and software-rendered preview of your projected final smile. A wax try-in lets you literally wear your new smile for a few hours before final placement.
