How Much Does a Smile Makeover Cost?

Not only can the cost vary but the treatment can vary as well.  A smile makeover can be as simple as whitening and recontouring which can be under a thousand dollars to placing porcelain on every tooth to a new bite which can be over $50,000.

In cosmetic dentistry, most often you get what you pay for. Meaning that if you pay very little, you may not be happy with the results/may get a less than ideal result. A smile makeover can mean many different things, and it's important to consult with you dentist to find out exactly what he or she recommends to meet your expectations. Often times, I will have a patient bring a photo of what they want their smile to look like and compare photos of their current smile to it and talk about what treatments they may need to get a smile close to their expectations. Some patients need very little modification to get what they're looking for while other patients may need ortho (braces), gum procedures, crowns, etc. This is where you dentist can help explain exactly what YOU will need. 
Just a side note, I do not recommend the "snap on smile" as a long term smile makeover option. I've seen patients pay for it and were happy with it for a few weeks, maybe months but then it either broke, discolored, or wouldn't fit and they were unable to use it moving forward. Composite veneers (aka composite bonding) is also a good option that can be more affordable than getting porcelain veneers or crowns. But with composite veneers, you want to make sure find a dentist that is skilled in performing this procedure with lots of experience.

The "most bang for you buck" will be just white fillings, but fillings won't last long and are not long term solution.  I'd say on average budge about $25,000 for a complete smile makeover.  It may be less, it may be more depending on what you present the dentist with.

Difficult question to answer.  The overall cost will depend on what exactly is necessary to complete the makeover.  Generally >$2000 per tooth for veneers.  Keep in mind that all makeovers are unique and you should consult with a cosmetic dentist for a more accurate number since there are many other factors involved.

The cost of a smile makeover depends on the case, the complexity, the materials and your geographic area. The options, are veneers, crowns, implants, invisalign, whitening, bonding, recontouring, or composite--and any combination of these. The best way to figure out cost would be a consultation with a cosmetic dentist.

There is a wide variety of choices when one brings a topic of a smile makeover. So is a price range.I  believe what is important is to find an option, which fits your budget AND you feel comfortable with a doctor, who will be providing treatment for you.

The answer depends on how many teeth you show in your smile and how many more you would show with a bigger smile?Normally people tend to have a guarded smile when they are not happy with their teeth; this all changes after a smile makeover.Another factor is whether we do same day veneers or you have temporaries and wait a week. Sometimes wearing temporaries allows you to gauge your new smile and to make adjustments.With same day teeth, we heavily rely on your wax up diagnostics being acceptable and your signed confirmation.Sometimes patients change their mind after seeing temporaries.I certainly do advocate patients not rushing into same day teeth unless they are in agreement with the wax up.Emax veneers are usually the best for aesthetics and strength and fees can be £10,000 upwards for the latest veneers with a master technician and master clinician.Make sure you see lots of before and after cases.

A smile makeover is something that can be performed in different ways. However, the first step is to call a cosmetic dentist in your area to make an appointment. The price range can vary greatly from individual to individual. However, the step is to call an make an appointment. The first appointment should be a consultation, so that the doctor can answer all your questions and if you feel comfortable with the doctor, then move forward with treatment. 

I can give you some ideas, but your question has a lot in common with the question "how much is a car?" or "how much is a house?"  Those costs can vary all over the map, can't they?  You will see the same thing in cosmetic dentistry based on your wants and the dentist who will be treating you.

There is a process that a cosmetic dentist usually goes through to estimate the fee.

First, interview the patient.  What are the problems?  What does the patient want fixed?  Just one tooth, eight, sixteen, twenty or twenty eight?  And your answer on how many teeth you want treated might depend on how many and which teeth you show when you smile, the color, any existing fillings or unesthetic crowns, how crooked or straight your teeth are, any chips, missing teeth, etc.  So the first step is you and the cosmetic dentist need to set down, discuss your goals, and probably also your budget.

Then two important question also have to be answered, what is your level of expectation of perfection and how difficult or easy will your treatment be?

A smile makeover's fees can be all over the map.  It could be as little as a couple hundred dollars for bleaching.  Orthodontics and Invisalign will be more.  Any gum procedures like adding gums onto a tooth that has experienced much recession or taking excess gum tissue off with laser or gum surgery add costs as well.  Are you needing just veneers to give you that dazzling smile, or do you need a mouth full of crowns?

And fees for crowns and veneers are all over the map as well.  Some clinics and volume oriented insurance dentists "advertise" veneers for as low as $350, while I know there are some specialty cosmetic practices in New York and Los Angeles that charge up to $3,000 per tooth.  Average price for veneers or cosmetic crowns by most well trained cosmetic dentists are in the range of $1,400 to $1,800 nationwide.

So in a nutshell, your job as a patient is to first decide what you don't like about your teeth and smile, and what you want to have changed.  Meet with several cosmetic dentists, as I absolutely guarantee you, most cosmetic dentists will not agree on a single solution.  Usually at the first meeting the cosmetic dentist can give you a good estimate on what it would cost to do your smile makeover.
