Smile Makeover

A custom combination of cosmetic treatments designed to give you the smile you've always wanted.

A smile makeover is a comprehensive cosmetic dentistry plan that combines multiple procedures to transform your smile holistically rather than addressing individual concerns in isolation. At Austin Longevity , every smile makeover begins with a detailed evaluation of your teeth, gums, bite, lips, and facial proportions, followed by a customized treatment plan designed around your goals, timeline, and budget. The result is a smile that looks natural, balanced, and authentically yours. Smile makeovers typically combine several procedures, which may include teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, dental bonding, gum contouring, orthodontics or clear aligners, dental implants, crowns, and bridges. Some makeovers focus primarily on aesthetics, while others address functional concerns like worn teeth, missing teeth, or bite problems. Most comprehensive makeovers take place over several weeks to several months, with treatments sequenced to build on each other (whitening before veneers so the veneers can be matched to lighter natural teeth, for example). What sets a smile makeover apart from individual cosmetic procedures is the comprehensive vision behind it. Rather than fixing one issue at a time, we plan the entire transformation from the beginning, considering how each treatment will interact with the others. We use digital imaging, mock-ups, and trial smiles to show you projected results before any permanent treatment begins. This collaborative approach ensures the final outcome matches your vision and complements your facial features. A well-executed smile makeover can take years off your appearance and transform how you feel about your smile.

A smile makeover is a significant investment of time, money, and trust. At Austin Longevity , we treat every makeover as a collaboration. We listen carefully to what you want to change, what you want to preserve, and how you want to feel about your smile when we're done. We use digital imaging and mock-ups to make sure we're aligned on the goal before any irreversible treatment begins. We focus on results that look completely natural for your face and personality, not uniformly perfect Hollywood teeth that look artificial. We also prioritize conservative treatment when possible, choosing bonding over veneers, veneers over crowns, and preservation over replacement whenever it produces a comparable result. Throughout the process, we communicate clearly about timeline, costs, what to expect at each step, and how to care for your new smile long-term.

Frequently asked

Questions we hear most often.

Still wondering whether this is the right path for you? Schedule a consultation and we’ll talk through your specific goals.

How much does a smile makeover cost?
Smile makeover costs vary widely depending on the procedures involved. Simple makeovers (whitening plus a few veneers) might cost $5,000 to $15,000. Comprehensive makeovers involving multiple veneers, gum contouring, and other procedures typically range from $20,000 to $50,000. Major rehabilitations involving implants or full mouth restoration can exceed $75,000. We provide detailed estimates after your consultation so there are no surprises.
How long does a smile makeover take?
Timelines vary based on the procedures included. A makeover focused on whitening and bonding might take 2 to 4 weeks. Veneer-based makeovers typically take 4 to 8 weeks. Makeovers including orthodontic treatment or implants take 6 months to a year or more. We provide a personalized timeline at your consultation so you can plan around important events.
Will my smile makeover look natural?
Yes, when designed and executed properly, smile makeovers look completely natural. We avoid the uniformly perfect, artificial look by carefully designing teeth that match your face, age, and personality. We use digital previews and mock-ups so you can see and approve the design before treatment begins. The goal is a smile that looks like the best version of your own, not someone else's.
What procedures are typically included?
Common smile makeover procedures include teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, dental bonding, gum contouring, clear aligners or orthodontics, dental implants, crowns and bridges, and tooth-colored fillings. The right combination depends on your specific concerns and goals. Most makeovers combine 2 to 5 different procedures.
Is a smile makeover painful?
Most procedures involved in smile makeovers are performed under local anesthesia and are not painful. Some discomfort and sensitivity is normal during treatment phases, particularly after gum contouring or veneer preparation. Modern techniques and anesthesia options keep most patients comfortable throughout the process. We discuss what to expect for each phase of your specific plan.
How long do smile makeover results last?
Longevity depends on the procedures involved. Veneers typically last 10 to 20 years. Bonding lasts 5 to 10 years. Whitening lasts 6 months to 2 years before touch-up. Crowns and implants can last decades. With good care and routine maintenance, smile makeover results can last for many years and be refreshed periodically as needed.
Will my insurance cover a smile makeover?
Most cosmetic procedures in a smile makeover are not covered by dental insurance because they're considered elective. However, procedures that have functional benefits (like crowns on damaged teeth or implants for missing teeth) may be partially covered. We verify benefits before treatment and offer financing options through CareCredit, Cherry, and other lenders to make smile makeovers accessible.
Can I get a smile makeover if I have damaged or missing teeth?
Yes, missing or damaged teeth often make a smile makeover more impactful, not less. Treatments like dental implants, crowns, and bridges restore both function and appearance, often forming the foundation of a comprehensive makeover. Patients with significant dental needs often see the most dramatic improvements from a well-designed makeover.
How do I know if I'm a good candidate for a smile makeover?
Most adults with realistic expectations and reasonably good oral health are candidates for some form of smile makeover. The right treatments depend on your specific concerns, dental history, and goals. Active dental disease (cavities, gum disease) needs to be addressed before cosmetic work begins. A consultation determines what's possible for your specific situation and helps you decide if a makeover is right for you.
