Smile Makeover in Chicago
A custom-designed transformation, built around your face, your goals, and your life — not a one-size-fits-all package.
If you've been thinking about changing your smile but you're not sure where to start — veneers, Invisalign, whitening, or something else — a smile makeover is the answer. It's not a single procedure. It's a plan, designed for you, that uses whichever treatments will actually get you to the smile you want.
Some patients need one treatment. Some need a combination. The right answer depends on your teeth, your face, your budget, and how you actually want to feel when you smile.
What Is a Smile Makeover?
A smile makeover is a personalized treatment plan that uses one or more cosmetic procedures to redesign your smile. It's not a product on a shelf — it's a custom design built around your face, your tooth structure, and how you actually want to feel.
For some patients, that means a single treatment. For others, it's a combination. The goal isn't to give every patient the same Hollywood smile — it's to design the version of your smile that finally matches how you want to feel when you look in the mirror.
Every smile makeover at Chicago Aesthetic Dentistry starts the same way: a Smile Design Consultation where we map out exactly what you'd need, what it would cost, and what your timeline would look like — before any treatment begins. You'll see your smile previewed before you commit to anything.
The Treatments We Combine
Depending on what your smile needs, your makeover may include any of the following — alone or in combination:
Porcelain Veneers
The most transformative option for changing the shape, color, and proportion of your teeth. Best for patients who want a noticeable but natural-looking transformation. Learn more about porcelain veneers →
Invisalign
Clear aligners that straighten your teeth without braces. Often the foundation of a smile makeover — straight teeth photograph beautifully, age well, and reduce the need for more invasive treatments later. Learn more about Invisalign →
Cosmetic Bonding
A subtle option for fixing chips, small gaps, or minor shape issues. Conservative, fast, and a great fit when veneers would be overkill. Learn more about cosmetic bonding →
No-Prep Veneers
A more conservative option that preserves your natural tooth structure. Ideal for upper smiles where the teeth are small or worn, and the patient wants minimal preparation. Learn more about no-prep veneers →
Professional Teeth Whitening
The simplest, most affordable starting point. For some patients, a custom whitening protocol is the only treatment they need. For others, it's the first step before veneers or bonding. Learn more about teeth whitening →
Gum Reshaping
For patients with a gummy smile or uneven gumline. A small adjustment here often makes the biggest visual difference of the entire makeover.
The Smile Design Process
Every smile makeover follows the same four steps — designed to give you complete clarity before any treatment begins.
1. Consultation & Smile Design
We start with a conversation about what's been bothering you and what you actually want your smile to look like. I take detailed photographs of your face, your smile at rest, and your full laugh — then design a personalized plan that uses only the treatments you need.
2. Preview Your Smile
Before any treatment begins — and before you commit to anything — you'll see and feel a preview of your final smile. This is the moment most patients exhale. You evaluate the design in your own face before we move forward.
3. Transformation
Once you approve the design, we begin treatment in the order that makes sense for your plan (typically Invisalign first if needed, then whitening, then any restorative work). Every step is conservative — we preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible.
4. Final Result
Custom porcelain, bonded by me — not a tech, not an assistant. The dentist who designed your smile is the dentist placing it. You leave with the smile you previewed, refined to fit your face exactly.
The Investment
What does a smile makeover cost?" Most cosmetic dentists won't answer that on their website — but I will, because the honest answer is it depends on what you actually need, and you deserve to know the range before you book a consultation.
A smile makeover at Chicago Aesthetic Dentistry can range from about $500 to $50,000+ depending on the combination of treatments in your plan. Here's a rough breakdown:
Starting around $500
Custom trays + professional-grade whitening gel. The simplest entry point.
Professional Teeth Whitening alone
Approximately $6,500
A popular combination for patients whose teeth are healthy but slightly misaligned and could be brighter.
Whitening + Invisalign
Approximately $500–$900 per tooth
Used for chips, gaps, or minor shape adjustments. Often combined with whitening.
Cosmetic Bonding (per tooth)
Approximately $25,000
A full upper smile (typically 8–10 teeth) of custom porcelain, conservatively prepared and designed for your face.
Porcelain Veneers (upper smile)
Full Smile Makeover with Veneers (upper + lower)
Approximately $50,000+
A complete redesign of both arches. Reserved for patients who want the full transformation.
The right plan for you depends on what your teeth actually need — and what you actually want. At your Smile Design Consultation, you'll get a clear, itemized estimate before any treatment begins. No surprises, no pressure, no upselling.
Every case is real, every patient consented to share, every smile is designed for their face — not a trend
