How It Works

A smile makeover combines multiple cosmetic procedures to completely transform your smile. The most common combination is veneers on the front teeth with whitening on the rest. Costs range from $2,000 for basic whitening and bonding to $30,000+ for a full porcelain veneer set with gum work.

The Formula

Total = (Veneers x Count) + Whitening + (Bonding x Count) + Gum Contouring + (Crowns x Count)

Variables

Veneers — Primary component of most makeovers ($875-$1,700/tooth)
Whitening — Brightens remaining natural teeth ($300-$650)
Bonding — Minor chips and gaps ($350/tooth)
Gum Work — Evens out the gum line ($1,800-$2,700)

Example

8 porcelain veneers ($13,600) + in-office whitening ($650) + laser gum contouring ($1,800) = $16,050 total smile makeover.
