What Does a Smile Makeover Include and How Much Does It Cost in 2026?

A smile makeover is a customized combination of cosmetic treatments designed to transform your teeth, gums, and overall smile appearance. No two plans are identical. Dr. Liswi evaluates your teeth, discusses your goals, and recommends only the treatments that deliver measurable improvement.

Here is a full pricing breakdown for every treatment commonly included in a Covina smile makeover:

TreatmentCost RangeWhat It CorrectsTimeline
Porcelain Veneers$1,500 – $2,500/toothColor, shape, chips, gaps, minor alignment2 visits over 2-3 weeks
Professional Whitening$300 – $600Stains, yellowing, dullness1 visit (60-90 min)
Composite Bonding$300 – $600/toothSmall chips, gaps, discoloration1 visit (30-60 min per tooth)
Invisalign Clear Aligners$4,000 – $7,000Crowding, spacing, bite alignment6-18 months
Porcelain Crowns$1,000 – $1,800/toothCracked, broken, root-canal-treated teeth2 visits over 2-3 weeks
Gum Contouring$500 – $1,500Uneven gum line, gummy smile1 visit (45-60 min)
Full Smile Makeover (combined)$5,000 – $30,000Complete transformation of the smile zone2-6 months depending on plan

The wide $5,000-$30,000 range reflects different starting points. A Covina patient needing whitening plus 4 bonding repairs invests $1,800-$3,000. A patient wanting 8 porcelain veneers plus gum contouring invests $13,000-$22,000. Dr. Liswi presents exact pricing after evaluating your teeth — no surprise costs after the consultation.

Dr. Liswi holds a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree and has designed over 500 cosmetic cases across 20+ years of practice serving the Inland Empire.

What Determines Your Final Smile Makeover Price?

Number of teeth treated: Most smile makeovers focus on the 6-10 teeth visible when you smile or speak. Treating fewer teeth reduces cost proportionally. Dr. Liswi identifies which teeth deliver the highest visual impact to maximize your investment.

Treatment combination: A whitening-plus-bonding plan costs 70-80% less than a full veneer makeover. According to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, 86% of patients report that a smile makeover improves their professional confidence — regardless of whether they choose the budget or premium path.

Pre-treatment needs: Cavities, gum disease, or old fillings must be resolved before cosmetic work begins. Addressing these foundations first protects your investment and ensures lasting results. Any pre-treatment costs are included in your written estimate.

What Insurance and Financing Options Cover Smile Makeovers for Covina Patients?

PPO dental insurance: Most cosmetic procedures are not directly covered, but treatments that restore structurally damaged teeth — crowns on cracked teeth, bonding on chipped teeth — qualify for PPO reimbursement. We accept Delta Dental, Cigna, MetLife, Aetna, and Guardian. Dr. Liswi documents structural need when clinically appropriate, recovering $1,000-$1,500 per crown.

CareCredit financing: 0% APR for 12, 18, or 24 months. A $15,000 smile makeover breaks down to $625/month over 24 months with zero interest. Over 80% of applicants qualify, and online approval takes 2 minutes.

HSA and FSA accounts: When smile makeover treatments address structural damage, they qualify as medical expenses. Pre-tax dollars save Covina patients 25-35% on qualifying portions of their treatment plan.

What Does the Smile Makeover Process Look Like?

Step 1 — Free consultation (60 minutes): Digital impressions, photos, and a comprehensive exam. Dr. Liswi designs your new smile using digital software, adjusting tooth shape, length, and shade on screen. You receive a written cost estimate covering every treatment in the plan.

Step 2 — Foundation work (if needed): Cavities, gum treatment, or old filling replacement happens first. This phase takes 1-4 weeks depending on complexity. Healthy foundations protect your cosmetic investment for decades.

Step 3 — Cosmetic treatment phase: Whitening, bonding, veneers, Invisalign, or crowns are completed in the optimal sequence. Dr. Liswi stages treatments so each step builds on the last, minimizing total appointments and maximizing efficiency.

Step 4 — Final reveal and maintenance plan: Your completed smile is polished, photographed, and compared to your starting point. A personalized maintenance plan ensures your results last 15-25 years with proper care.

How Long Does a Complete Smile Makeover Take?
