A smile makeover is not one treatment. It is a plan that combines treatments, such as whitening, bonding, veneers and clear aligners, to change how your smile looks.

What does a smile makeover include?
A smile makeover can include any mix of whitening, bonding, veneers, crowns and clear aligners, chosen to suit your teeth.
Which treatments you have depends on what you want and what your dentist advises. Here are the main options at Hillcross.
The cost depends on which treatments you choose, so we give you a written fee for each step before you start.
There is no fixed price for a smile makeover because every smile is different. The fees above show what some treatments cost. Whitening for a full treatment is confirmed by phone.
Your fee depends on your mouth and the result you want, so your dentist gives you a written plan at your consultation. These are the things that change it most.
Which treatments you choose, such as whitening, bonding, veneers or aligners.
How many teeth are involved.
The order of treatment, since some steps must come before others.
Any care your teeth or gums need first.
You see the full fee before you agree to anything, and you are welcome to take the plan home and think it over.
Who plans a smile makeover?

In what order are treatments done?
Healthy gums and teeth come first, then straightening, then whitening, then bonding or veneers.
This order means each step supports the next. Straightening comes before bonding because moving teeth afterwards could damage the new work. Whitening comes before bonding or veneers so the shades match.
Your dentist sets out the order for you.
How long does a smile makeover take?
It depends on the treatments, and your dentist gives you a timeline when they plan your care.
Whitening and bonding can take less time than aligners. We do not promise a time until we have examined your mouth.
Do I need healthy teeth and gums first?
Yes. Cosmetic work lasts longer on healthy teeth and gums, so we treat any decay or gum disease first.
