If a line is vague, ask the office to define it. Reputable practices are used to explaining their quotes, and a written breakdown protects both sides.
- Look for items listed as 'additional' or 'if needed'
- Ask what could change the total and by how much
- Confirm the warranty in writing
- Keep a copy of every estimate you receive
How a smile makeover is planned
Good cosmetic dentistry starts with a discussion of what you want to change and a check of gum and bite health. Many dentists provide a wax-up or a mock-up so you can preview the shape and size before any enamel is touched.
The number of veneers changes the total. Some smiles need only a few teeth treated, while others involve a full row of upper teeth. Ask which teeth the plan includes and why, and whether any need whitening or orthodontics first.
