What should your quote include?
Different offices bundle costs differently. Here's what a complete quote typically covers — and what's often left out.
Usually included in the quoted price
- Cosmetic consultation and treatment planning
- Smile design imaging (digital previews)
- All procedures in the agreed treatment plan
- Temporary restorations during fabrication

Health stakes
What happens if you delay treatment?
Restorative procedures are usually recommended once a tooth has lost too much structure to remain stable on its own. Waiting rarely makes the situation simpler.
- Veneers require permanent removal of small amount of enamel
- Bonding stains and chips more easily than veneers
- Crown placement requires significant tooth reduction
- Aesthetic results subjective - communicate expectations clearly upfront

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
What's typically included in a smile makeover?
It depends on your goals. A basic makeover might be professional whitening plus 4-6 porcelain veneers on front teeth - around $5,000-$10,000. A comprehensive makeover could include veneers on 8-12 teeth, gum contouring, replacement of old crowns, and potentially implants for missing teeth - $15,000-$30,000+.
Does insurance cover smile makeovers?
Cosmetic procedures (veneers, whitening, bonding for aesthetics) are typically NOT covered. However, restorative components that have functional benefit (crowns on damaged teeth, implants for missing teeth) may be partially covered under your major services benefit. Get a clear breakdown from your provider on what's cosmetic vs. restorative.
How long does a smile makeover last?
Component-dependent. Porcelain veneers typically last 10-15 years with good care. Whitening fades over 1-2 years (requires touch-ups). Crowns and implants can last 20+ years. Bonding typically needs replacement every 5-7 years. Plan for ongoing maintenance costs.
