How much does a perfect smile cost

There’s so much more to cosmetic dentistry than creating a beautiful smile. It’s about restoring a patient’s confidence – something that can have a knock-on effect on other aspects of your life, enhancing your social, professional and personal lifestyle.

Due to the expansive nature of cosmetic dentistry, price levels vary hugely. You could spend anything from $800 for a single treatment, through to around $50,000 if you require a range of complex treatments.

The final price depends on not only the treatment you’re undergoing – but also the quality of care and facilities your dentist can offer. The overall cost will fall at the higher end of the scale if you’re opting for premium care, but this will be reflected in the results.

What factors usually affect the price?

  • The number of treatments needed
  • The complexity of treatments needed
  • Your specialist’s experience and training level
  • The equipment, technology and facilities
  • The quality of materials being used
