Close up of a bright, healthy smile

Quick check

Which whitening approach fits your smile?

Three questions. No email needed.

Upper veneers (8): $9,600–$20,000

Lower veneers or crowns (6–8): $7,000–$15,000

Bite analysis, occlusion design: $1,500–$3,000

Total: $25,000–$40,000+.

Add-ons that can change everything

Invisalign first: $3,500–$7,500. 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: $3,500–$6,000 each. Veneers can’t fill an empty space.

Gum grafting: $300–$3,000. 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.

Financing makes most of it monthly

CareCredit and Sunbit offer 12–60 month financing. A $15,000 makeover on 36-month financing is roughly $450–$500/month, less than many car payments.

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.
