Skip to content A step-by-step plan for the changes you want, with a chairside smile trial so you can preview the look first.
A smile makeover combines two or more cosmetic or restorative treatments to change the look of your smile as a whole. It might be whitening and a few veneers, clear aligners followed by crowns, or a plan that also replaces a missing tooth. At SmileCraft Dental, each plan starts with what you want to change, and we build the sequence around it.
For many cosmetic cases, we offer a chairside smile trial. It’s a temporary preview of the proposed changes, placed over your own teeth. You can see the new shape in a mirror, smile, talk, and get a feel for it before committing to anything permanent. If something doesn’t look right to you, that’s the time to adjust the plan.
Because we offer a wide range of care in one convenient location, we can usually keep your whole makeover here. That includes Opalescence® whitening, veneers, clear aligners, CEREC crowns, tooth-colored fillings, bridges, and dental implants. Fewer handoffs means fewer people to coordinate and one set of records.
Our office is at the Leander–Cedar Park line, a short drive for patients in both cities. It’s also within reach for patients from Liberty Hill, Jonestown, and Lago Vista.
During a smile trial, we place a temporary mock-up over your teeth to show the planned shape and proportions. We don't remove anything from your teeth for the trial, and it comes off afterward. It's one of the best ways to talk about details like tooth length or width before treatment begins. The mock-up is a preview, not the final material, so your finished result may look slightly different.
It starts with a consultation. We’ll ask what you like and don’t like about your smile, examine your teeth and gums, and take digital images with our intraoral 3D scanner. A makeover needs a healthy foundation, so we’ll address any cavities, gum issues, or bite problems before cosmetic work begins.
From there, we’ll suggest one or more plans. Each one shows the treatment order, how long it may take, and what each step costs. For cosmetic cases, a chairside smile trial lets you preview the proposed look before anything permanent happens. Our goal is to educate you on all of your options so we can decide together on the plan that fits your personal and financial needs. Some patients do everything at once, while others spread treatment out over time.
Some makeover appointments run long. Feel free to ask for headphones, a blanket, or a neck pillow, and nitrous oxide is available if you feel anxious.
The cost of a smile makeover depends on your plan and how many teeth are involved. After your consultation, we’ll give you an itemized breakdown so you can see what each step costs before deciding anything. If your PPO plan covers part of the treatment, you may pay less.
We’re in network with most major PPO plans and also offer fee-for-service care. Insurance usually doesn’t cover treatments done only for appearance, like whitening or cosmetic veneers. Restorative steps, such as crowns or replacing a missing tooth, may be partly covered. We’ll check your benefits and show you what’s covered before you start.
Our Dental Savings Plan includes two exams, two cleanings, X-rays, and a fluoride treatment each year, plus 30% off most other treatments. Ask us which parts of your plan the discount applies to. Membership is $449 a year for an individual. For a family of two adults and two children under 16, it’s $699 a year, and each additional child is $199. It’s a discount plan, not dental insurance.
For larger plans, Cherry can finance the cost over time. You can apply on our website.

It’s a temporary preview of your planned smile, placed over your own teeth during a visit. You can see the proposed shape and proportions and ask for changes before treatment begins. Nothing is removed from your teeth for the trial.
It should be close, but not identical. The trial uses temporary material, and your final restorations are made from different materials. We use the trial to agree on shape and proportion, not as a guarantee of the exact final look.
It varies widely. Whitening and a few veneers may take a few weeks. Plans that include aligners or implants can take many months. We’ll share a timeline for your plan before you start.
No. Many patients complete their plan in phases to fit their schedule or budget. We’ll help you decide which steps to do first.
Tell us what you’d like to change. We’ll show you your options and what each one costs, and for cosmetic cases, a preview of the new look.
