How Much Does a Smile Makeover Cost?


The cost of a smile makeover varies depending on the combination of treatments and restorations included in your personalized plan. Every smile makeover is tailored to the unique needs of the patient, which means the cost reflects the specific procedures necessary to achieve your goals. Whether you need porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, crowns, or other treatments, the final cost will depend on the complexity and scope of your makeover.

At Contemporary Cosmetic Dentistry in Austin, TX, Dr. John Schmid works closely with you to design a smile makeover plan that fits your vision and budget. During your free smile makeover consultation, we’ll provide a detailed cost estimate and discuss financing options to help you invest in your smile with confidence.

Factors That Influence Smile Makeover Costs

The cost of your smile makeover depends on several factors, including:

  • Number of Treatments: A makeover with multiple procedures (e.g., porcelain veneers, crowns, and teeth whitening) will cost more than one focused on a single treatment.
  • Complexity of Your Case: Patients with more significant cosmetic or functional concerns, such as misaligned or missing teeth, may require more extensive work.
  • Material Quality: High-quality materials, such as porcelain for veneers or crowns, may cost more but offer superior durability and aesthetics.
  • Additional Preparatory Work: Some patients may require preliminary treatments, like gum contouring or restorative care, to prepare for their makeover.

During your consultation, Dr. Schmid will evaluate your needs, recommend the best treatments, and explain how these factors influence the cost.

Financing and Payment Options

We believe everyone deserves the confidence of a beautiful smile. To make your smile makeover more affordable, we accept multiple payment methods, including CareCredit®, which allows you to break down the cost into manageable monthly payments. For more details on financing options, visit our Financing Options for General and Cosmetic Dentistry page.

Does Insurance Cover Smile Makeovers?

Most dental insurance plans consider smile makeovers to be elective procedures and may not provide coverage. However, certain treatments, such as crowns or other restorative procedures, might be partially covered if they address functional dental issues.

Our knowledgeable team will help you navigate your insurance policy to determine if any portion of your smile makeover qualifies for coverage. For all other expenses, financing options are available to ensure your dream smile is within reach.

Is a Smile Makeover Worth the Cost?

Investing in a smile makeover goes beyond improving your appearance—it can transform your confidence and quality of life. Benefits of a smile makeover include:

  • Boosted Self-Confidence: Feel proud of your smile in social and professional settings.
  • Improved Oral Health: Address multiple concerns at once for better dental function and health.
  • Long-Lasting Results: High-quality treatments, like porcelain veneers, can last for years with proper care.
