How much does a smile makeover cost?
The cost of a smile makeover can vary based on your smile goals and the starting point. An average smile makeover would include alignment and professional whitening and perhaps a few crowns for damaged teeth. This cost would contrast a moderate full mouth reconstruction which can cost $15,000-$40,000 depending on the condition of the teeth and jaws, and the type and amount of procedures required.
Harriman Family Dental offers many payment options so that the cost doesn’t seem so steep. We partner with CareCredit and other third-party financiers. We also offer a Dental Membership Plan that includes discounts on certain cosmetic dentistry procedures.
