As we step into 2026, many of us are reflecting on what we’d like to improve in our lives. If you’ve been hiding your smile in photos or feeling self-conscious about your teeth, this might be the perfect time for a new year smile transformation. At Plainsboro Dental Services, Dr. Priti Dagli, DDS, FICOI, helps patients discover the confidence that comes with loving their smile.
What Is a Smile Makeover and How Much Does It Cost?
A smile makeover is a customized combination of cosmetic dentistry treatments designed to address your specific concerns and aesthetic goals. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, your smile makeover is tailored to enhance your unique features while maintaining natural-looking results.
The cost varies depending on which treatments you need. Some patients achieve their dream smile with a single procedure, like teeth whitening, while others combine multiple treatments. During your consultation, Dr. Dagli will create a personalized treatment plan with a clear cost breakdown. We also offer financing options to make your smile transformation more accessible.
Am I a Good Candidate for a Smile Makeover?
You might be wondering if cosmetic dentistry is right for you. Smile makeovers can address numerous concerns, including:
- Stained teeth that don’t respond to regular whitening
- Chipped teeth from injury or wear
- Gaps between teeth
- Crooked teeth or an uneven smile
- Misshapen or disproportionate teeth
- Multiple cosmetic issues you’d like to correct simultaneously
The best candidates have good oral health or are willing to address any underlying dental issues first. During your consultation at our practice, Dr. Dagli will evaluate your teeth and gums to ensure you’re ready for cosmetic treatments.
Common Smile Makeover Treatments
Porcelain Veneers
These thin ceramic shells can transform your smile by covering imperfections like chips, stains, gaps, or minor misalignment. Veneers offer dramatic, long-lasting results.
Dental Bonding
A more conservative option, dental bonding uses tooth-colored resin to repair chips, close small gaps, or reshape teeth. It’s typically completed in one visit.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening can brighten your smile several shades, addressing years of staining from coffee, wine, or aging.
Dental Crowns
Crowns restore severely damaged or weakened teeth while improving their appearance, blending seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Invisalign
Clear aligners straighten crooked teeth discreetly, often serving as the foundation for additional cosmetic treatments.
How Long Does a Smile Makeover Take?
Timeline varies based on your treatment plan. Some patients see results in just one or two appointments, while more comprehensive makeovers might take several months. Dr. Dagli will outline the expected timeline during your consultation, so you’ll know exactly what to expect.
Is a Smile Makeover Worth It?
Beyond the aesthetic improvements visible in before-and-after photos, patients consistently report increased confidence in professional and social settings. Many say they smile more freely, feel younger, and approach life with renewed self-assurance. The investment in your smile often pays dividends in how you feel about yourself every single day.
