Since everyone has unique needs and goals, you’ll need a consultation with your cosmetic dentist in Greenfield to determine which procedures are right for you.
After examining your mouth and learning more about your goals, your dentist will develop a strategy to enhance the appearance, health, and function of your teeth. They consider various factors, like your skin tone, the shape of your mouth, and the dynamics of your face to ensure superior results.

Understanding the Cost of a Smile Makeover
Since everyone has different needs, there isn’t a flat fee for a smile makeover. You don’t want to pay for anything you don’t need. After creating a plan to improve your smile, we’ll provide you with an estimate and explain the fees associated with your plan. Various factors affect the amount you’ll pay, such as the complexity of your case and your dental insurance.
Although it is rare for dental insurance to cover elective procedures, some cosmetic treatments also provide restorative advantages, like dental bonding, metal-free restorations, or bridges. If a treatment is necessary for your oral health, you may be able to use your coverage to offset the amount you pay out-of-pocket. Depending on your treatment, your insurance may pay up to 80% of the cost of specific procedures after reaching your annual deductible. We will work on your behalf with your dental insurance to maximize any applicable coverage to lower the amount you pay.
We offer several options for any out-of-pocket expenses. Besides dental insurance, we accept all forms of traditional payment, including cash, checks, and credit cards. We also work with third-party financing to pay for your new smile using monthly installments.
Don’t worry, you’ll know exactly what you’ll need to pay before committing to any procedures. You can feel confident in the investment you’re making for a stress-free journey to a flawless smile. Contact our office today to schedule your consultation.
Smile Makeover FAQs
How Many Treatments Can You Include in a Smile Makeover?
Simply put, you can include as many dental treatments as you’d like in a smile makeover. It all depends on which cosmetic procedures you need, and which procedures your dentist offers. For example, you may want to whiten your smile with a combination of professional whitening, porcelain veneers, and cosmetic bonding.
Conversely, you may want to hide tooth chips and cracks by getting both veneers and metal free crowns. With a smile makeover, the options are practically limitless.
At an in-person consultation, your dentist can help you customize a treatment plan that provides the right treatments for your smile and budget.
How Long is a Smile Makeover?
The duration of a smile makeover can vary from person to person. It all depends on the number and type of procedures in your treatment plan. Some procedures can be done in just one dental visit, including professional whitening and cosmetic bonding. In fact, the shortest of these can be done in about an hour.
Other treatments may take many weeks or months at a time. Placing veneers or crowns often takes several appointments.
Depending on your individual needs, your dentist can devise a flexible treatment that works around your busy schedule.
Is a Smile Makeover Safe?
Much like any other cosmetic procedure, a smile makeover is harmless and will not harm your teeth or gums.
Neither professional whitening nor dental bonding use toxic chemicals and their ingredients will not damage your enamel or gum tissue.
Veneers and crowns do require some tooth enamel to be removed, but the prosthetics themselves compensate for this by protecting your otherwise exposed tooth or teeth.
Be aware that not everyone is a good candidate for certain treatments. Patients with preexisting oral health conditions such as tooth decay or gum disease will need to have those issues corrected before getting a cosmetic dentistry treatment. This is for your own oral health benefit as well as to save you money, as some procedures will not work or make sense to complete on a decaying tooth.
Does a Smile Makeover Hurt?
Because there are so many potential procedures involved, it makes sense to worry about them being painful or uncomfortable. The good news is that your dentist’s goal is always to make your treatment experience as smooth and comfortable as possible.
The good news is that most cosmetic dental treatments are considered non-invasive. In fact, some treatments like cosmetic bonding and professional whitening don’t even require a local anesthetic.
If your teeth do need any preparation such as reshaping for veneers or crowns, your dentist will numb your mouth before beginning.
There is a chance that some cosmetic work may lead to residual soreness or sensitivity, but this is typically very mild and should stop after a few days.
