Plan your smile makeover
Choose which teeth to treat, how many units show when you smile and which material you want. The planner gives an indicative package price, the number of appointments and how many nights the laboratory work needs.
- E-max, zirconium and layered zirconia
- Price and trip length together
- No personal details needed
How this planner works
- A unit is one veneer or crown. Most people show eight to ten teeth per arch when they smile broadly, so a full upper and lower makeover is typically 16 to 20 units.
- Treating the upper arch alone costs roughly half, and works well if your lower teeth are already a reasonable colour — or can be whitened to match.
- Material drives both price and appearance. E-max has the most natural translucency and suits front teeth; zirconium is stronger and better for back teeth, crowns and anyone who grinds.
- The nights shown include laboratory time. This is not padding: rushing lab work is the fastest route to a poor fit, and a good clinic will not compress it.
- The price does not include preliminary treatment. Root canals, extractions, implants, gum treatment and bone grafting are quoted separately once an X-ray has been reviewed.
- Send a panoramic X-ray before paying any deposit. A price given from photographs alone is a guess, and it is the most common reason a quote changes after arrival.
Frequently asked questions
Count the teeth visible when you smile broadly in a mirror. Most people show eight to ten per arch. Your dentist confirms the number from your photographs, and it is better to treat one or two extra than to leave a visible colour step at the edge of the smile.
Veneers are a thin shell bonded to the front of the tooth and remove far less enamel. Crowns cover the whole tooth and are needed where it is heavily filled, root-treated or badly out of line. Most makeovers use a combination, decided tooth by tooth.
E-max for front teeth where translucency matters most; zirconium where strength matters more, such as back teeth, crowns and patients who grind; layered zirconia as a balance for full-arch cases. Your dentist recommends based on your bite and the condition of each tooth.
Because material and unit count both vary considerably, and because some patients need preliminary treatment first. A 16-unit zirconium case and a 24-unit E-max case are genuinely different pieces of work.
No, it is an indicative package price. A quotation follows a dentist reviewing your photographs and a panoramic X-ray, which is free and carries no obligation. The X-ray matters because decay, infection and gum disease only show there.
No. Preparing teeth for veneers or crowns removes enamel permanently, and those teeth will need covering for the rest of your life. If your teeth are healthy and only the colour bothers you, whitening achieves a lot and removes nothing.
E-max veneers typically 10 to 15 years, zirconium crowns 10 to 20. Longevity depends far more on gum health, hygiene and whether you wear a night guard than on the material itself.
Reshaping the gum line, usually with a laser, where a gummy smile would otherwise make the teeth look short. It is done before impressions are taken so the laboratory works to the final gum line, and it adds a modest amount to the package.
