If you are thinking about a smile makeover, one of the first questions is usually “how much will it cost?” There is no single answer, because a smile makeover combines two or more cosmetic treatments into one personalised plan. This guide sets out the prices we publish for each treatment, explains what tends to affect the total, and describes how we put your quote together.

What a smile makeover can include

A smile makeover is built around you, so the treatments in your plan depend on what you would like to change. It may include any of the following:

  • Composite bonding – tooth-coloured composite used to reshape, repair and refine teeth.
  • Porcelain veneers – thin porcelain facings bonded to the front of the teeth.
  • Teeth whitening – our Boutique home whitening system, with custom-made trays, professional-strength gel and dentist supervision.
  • Invisalign® – clear aligners to straighten teeth, sometimes used before other cosmetic work.
  • Fixed braces – ceramic (tooth-coloured) or metal braces to straighten teeth, sometimes used before other cosmetic work.
  • Dental implants and crowns – to replace or restore teeth that are missing or damaged.

You can read more about how we approach this on our smile makeover and smile makeover in Tameside pages.

Smile makeover cost by treatment

Because every plan is different, a smile makeover is costed per case. As a guide, these are the prices published on our website for the treatments most often included:

Adult braces prices include removable retainers and tooth whitening.

Your total depends on which treatments are in your plan and how many teeth are involved. A few teeth of bonding is costed very differently from a full set of veneers with whitening. You can see our full price list on our dental fees page.

What affects the cost of a smile makeover

Every mouth is different, so we cannot give a total price without seeing you. In general, the cost of a smile makeover depends on:

  • Which treatments you choose. Bonding, veneers, whitening, aligners and crowns are each priced differently.
  • How many teeth are treated. Bonding, veneers and crowns are priced per tooth, so the number of teeth makes a big difference. Some people choose just a few front teeth; others choose a full upper set.
  • The material. Composite bonding and porcelain veneers are priced differently. We are happy to talk through both at your £50 consultation, redeemable against your treatment if you go ahead.
  • Any treatment needed first. If teeth need straightening, whitening, or other dental care before cosmetic work, that forms part of your plan.
  • Membership. Joining a practice membership plan gives 15% off listed treatments.

Before anything begins, you receive a fixed written quote, so you know the cost before you commit.

How the consultation works

Your plan starts with a consultation, which is £50, as listed on our dental fees page, and is redeemable against your treatment if you go ahead. As described on our smile makeover page:

  1. Consultation. We listen to what you would change, examine your teeth and gums, and take photos and a digital scan.
  2. Your smile design and quote. We design your new smile, walk you through the options, and give you a fixed written plan and price.
  3. Your treatment. We carry out your plan in an agreed sequence – straightening or whitening first where needed, then the finishing work.
  4. Aftercare. We set you up with simple aftercare.

For most cosmetic cases, Dr Edward Walmsley can sculpt a temporary composite preview directly onto your teeth at the £50 consultation, redeemable against your treatment if you go ahead, so you can see the proposed design before deciding. There is no obligation to proceed.
