A smile makeover can transform not just your teeth, but your confidence and how you feel about yourself. At Kiss Dental, we work with patients across Manchester, Altrincham, Flixton, Knutsford, Alderley Edge, Liverpool, Bury, and Bramhall to create stunning smiles tailored to each person’s goals and budget. But let’s be honest—one of the first questions people ask is: how much will it cost?
We’ve put together this guide to give you a clear picture of smile makeover pricing so you can plan with confidence. Whether you’re looking for subtle refinements or a complete transformation, there’s an option for every budget.
A smile makeover isn’t a single procedure—it’s a customised combination of cosmetic and restorative treatments designed to enhance your smile. This might include whitening to brighten your teeth, veneers or bonding to reshape them, invisalign to straighten them, or implants to replace missing teeth.
The beauty of a smile makeover is that it’s completely tailored to you. Dr Kailesh Solanki, our founder, works closely with each patient to understand their goals, assess their teeth and gums, and create a plan that delivers real results. Some patients need just one or two treatments, whilst others benefit from a multi-step approach.
What makes a makeover successful isn’t always the most expensive treatment—it’s the right combination of treatments, applied by skilled clinicians who understand proportion, symmetry, and what works with your face.
Here are four realistic examples of smile makeovers at different budget levels. These are estimates based on average patient needs—your actual cost may vary depending on the complexity of your case.
Ideal for: Brightening and minor shape adjustments
What’s included:
This option works brilliantly if your teeth are roughly straight but could use brightening and subtle reshaping. Composite bonding is a fast, affordable way to fix small chips, gaps, or slight shape issues.
Ideal for: Straighter smile with improved aesthetics
What’s included:
Straightening your teeth with Invisalign makes a huge difference on its own. Pair that with professional whitening and some subtle bonding work, and you’ve got a genuinely transformed smile. This combination addresses alignment, shade, and minor shape issues—the three pillars of a beautiful smile.
Ideal for: Full-scale transformation
What’s included:
This is a full-scale transformation. Veneers give you complete control over shape, size, and colour, so we can create a bespoke smile that’s perfectly proportioned to your face. Invisalign ensures your bite is correct first, then veneers complete the look. Add professional whitening, and you’re getting the works.
Ideal for: Patients with missing teeth
What’s included:
If you’re missing one or more teeth, a dental implant restores both function and appearance. Combined with veneers and whitening, you end up with a complete, natural-looking smile that’s indistinguishable from your original teeth.
Let’s walk through two real-world scenarios to show what you get at different investment levels.
Sarah had reasonably straight teeth but felt self-conscious about staining from years of coffee drinking. She also had a small chip on her front-left tooth. She chose Zoom whitening (£445) plus composite bonding on one tooth (£385) and edge bonding on two more teeth (£325 each). Total: £1,480. She followed up with a second whitening session (£445) for extra brightness. Grand total: £1,925.
The result? Noticeably whiter, brighter teeth and the chip is completely invisible. She went from hiding her smile to feeling genuinely proud of it—for under £2,000.
James had always been self-conscious about crowded teeth and wanted a complete refresh. His teeth were yellowed, his alignment was off, and he wanted them to look substantially different. He underwent 18 months of Invisalign (£2,950), followed by porcelain veneers on his six upper front teeth (£5,400 at £900 per tooth) and professional whitening (£695). He also had a small amount of gum contouring for better proportions (complementary at Kiss Dental). Total: £9,045 for treatment, plus follow-up care and a final refinement veneer: £11,500.
The transformation was dramatic. James now has a perfectly aligned, bright white, celebrity-quality smile that looks completely natural. He says the investment changed his life—better job interviews, more confidence dating, the works.
Both stories show that a smile makeover doesn’t need to be expensive to be effective. It’s about understanding what you want and building the right plan.
Several factors influence your final smile makeover cost. Understanding these helps you make informed decisions:
Number of teeth treated: If you’re bonding one tooth versus six, the cost scales accordingly. Veneers on your upper six front teeth will cost more than veneers on just two teeth.
Complexity of alignment: Slight crowding might take 12 months of Invisalign and cost £2,950. Severe crowding or bite issues might require braces or extended treatment, which can cost more.
Material choices: Composite bonding is more affordable than veneers because it’s faster and less invasive. Porcelain veneers cost more but last longer and look more natural. All-ceramic and zirconia crowns have different price points depending on durability and aesthetics.
Existing dental work: If you need decay treated or old fillings replaced before your makeover, that adds to the cost—but it’s essential for a foundation that lasts.
Gum health: If you need gum contouring, bone grafting, or deep cleaning before cosmetic work, that’s an additional investment. At Kiss Dental, we often include gum contouring complimentary as part of your overall plan.
Treatment duration: Some treatments take months (Invisalign), whilst others happen in one or two visits (bonding). Longer treatments sometimes cost more, but they also give you time to adjust and see results gradually.
We won’t pretend a smile makeover is inexpensive. But patients consistently tell us it’s one of the best investments they’ve made. Here’s why:
Confidence boost: You’ll smile more, talk more freely, and feel genuinely better about yourself. That’s not trivial—it affects how you present yourself in every area of life.
Functional improvement: Many smile makeovers also straighten teeth, improve your bite, or replace missing teeth. That means better chewing, clearer speech, and easier cleaning—benefits that last a lifetime.
Long-term value: Quality cosmetic work lasts. Porcelain veneers typically last 10–15 years. Composite bonding lasts 5–7 years. Dental implants can last 20+ years or a lifetime with proper care. When you amortise the cost over years, it’s reasonable.
Preventative benefits: Straighter teeth are easier to clean, which means fewer cavities and less future dental work. Whiter teeth often motivate better oral hygiene. You’re not just improving appearance—you’re investing in your long-term dental health.
Professional and personal returns: Research shows people with confident smiles are perceived as more trustworthy, successful, and approachable. Whether it’s true or not, it’s what people believe—and that can translate to real advantages in job interviews, dating, and social situations.
We understand that even with the best intentions, paying for a smile makeover upfront can be challenging. That’s why we offer flexible finance options so you can get your smile transformation now and spread the cost over manageable monthly payments.
Our finance plans are designed to fit real budgets. You might pay £200–£400 per month depending on your total treatment cost, which makes even a premium makeover accessible.
We work with trusted finance partners to keep interest rates reasonable and paperwork simple. Most patients find the monthly cost is far less painful than they expected—often less than they spend on other small luxuries.
To explore your finance options, simply contact us or call 0161 524 1804. We’ll walk you through what’s available and find a plan that works for you.
Your smile makeover starts with a detailed consultation. Here’s what to expect:
Assessment: Dr Kailesh Solanki or Dr Khushal Morar will examine your teeth, gums, and bite. We’ll take photos and possibly X-rays to understand the full picture.
Your goals: We’ll talk about what you want to change. Are you unhappy with colour, shape, alignment, or all three? What does your ideal smile look like? Are there any teeth you’d like to keep exactly as they are?
Treatment options: Based on your goals and budget, we’ll propose a plan—or multiple plans at different price points. You’ll understand exactly what each option includes and what you can expect.
Timeline and cost: We’ll be completely transparent about timing and cost. No surprises, no hidden fees. You’ll have a clear road map before you commit to anything.
Financing: If you’d like to explore finance options, we’ll discuss those too. Our goal is to make your smile makeover achievable.

It depends on the complexity. A simple bonding and whitening makeover might take 2–3 visits spread over a few weeks. A makeover involving Invisalign takes 12–18 months. A full veneer transformation with Invisalign first takes 18–24 months. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during your consultation.
Absolutely. Our dentists specialise in creating smiles that enhance your face without looking artificial or “done.” We consider your facial structure, skin tone, and natural tooth shape to design something that looks like the best version of your own smile—not someone else’s.
Cosmetic treatments like veneers, bonding, and whitening aren’t available on the NHS, so you’d need private treatment. However, if you have a missing tooth that affects your function, a dental implant might have some NHS support depending on your circumstances. We’re a private practice, and we’re happy to discuss what’s covered and what isn’t.
Composite bonding is tooth-coloured resin applied directly to your tooth. It’s quick (usually one visit), affordable (from £325–£385 per tooth), and reversible. The downside is it stains more easily and lasts 5–7 years. Porcelain veneers are thin ceramic shells bonded to your teeth. They’re more durable (10–15 years), stain-resistant, and look slightly more polished. They cost more (£800–£1,200+ per tooth) and require shaving down your tooth slightly. For subtle changes, bonding is great. For complete makeovers, veneers are often the better long-term choice.
Professional whitening only affects natural tooth structure, not porcelain or composite. That’s why we often whiten your teeth before applying veneers—we match the veneer shade to your newly whitened teeth. If you whiten your remaining natural teeth later, you might need to replace your veneers to keep everything matching. We’ll discuss this during your consultation.
Invisalign treatment starts from £2,950 at Kiss Dental. If you’re combining it with whitening (£395–£695) and bonding (from £325 per tooth) or veneers (£800–£1,200+ per tooth), your total will be higher. We’ll provide an exact quote during your consultation.
Minor damage to bonded teeth can often be repaired by adding more composite material. Veneers that crack or chip usually need replacing. That’s why we recommend a good nightguard if you grind your teeth, and we advise against chewing ice or opening packages with your teeth. With proper care, your cosmetic work will look beautiful for years.
We need to treat gum disease first. Healthy gums are essential for cosmetic work to look good and last long. Once your gums are healthy, we’ll move forward with your makeover plan. In many cases, treating gum health is complementary as part of your overall care.
A smile makeover is a personal investment that goes far beyond appearance. It’s about feeling confident, proud, and genuinely happy when you look in the mirror.
