Since a smile makeover consists of multiple procedures for each patient, the smile makeover cost varies on a case-by-case basis. For instance, teeth whitening can cost as much as $500. /p>
A cap or porcelain crown is fitted, and it covers a completely damaged or decayed tooth above the gum line. It restores the appearance, strength, size, and shape of teeth. Crowns help in salvaging a cracked or weak tooth. They are created from porcelain, resin, or metal, and they cost more than $1,000.
In smile design dentistry, veneers are custom-made, thin porcelain, which are colored like a tooth for covering the teeth’s front surface. Dental surgeons take out some enamel from the surface of the tooth and place veneers with bonding to the front teeth. For porcelain veneers, you might have to pay around $1,500.
Dental bonding is an integral part of teeth makeover. It uses resin material – colored like a tooth – along with a laser or ultraviolet light to bond material with the tooth. A dental surgeon then polishes, shapes, and trims it accordingly in accordance with the patient’s dental structure. Bonding repairs out of shape, cracked, chipped, and decayed teeth. It is mainly considered a good alternative for replacing silver fillings. The entire procedure takes 60 minutes and can cost more than $500 for each tooth.
Ceramic-based onlays and inlays are used for filling damaged and decayed teeth, and they are made from porcelain materials. While dental fillings are created at a dentist’s clinic, onlays and inlays are designed in a laboratory and are bonded into place. The filling is known as onlay if it consists of a single or multiple tooth points. On the other hand, it is called an inlay if the filling is used to bond with the tooth’s center. Inlays and onlays can cost around $1,000 per tooth.
A porcelain bridge is formed from crowns for the teeth gaps. The cost of a bridge relies on the number of teeth that must be replaced. For instance, if a patient needs to replace three teeth, they need around $3,500 for a porcelain bridge.
