Smile Makeover in Beverly Hills, CA
A smile makeover in Beverly Hills at ConfiDental is a personalised plan that combines treatments such as porcelain veneers, professional whitening, bonding, Invisalign and crowns to improve how your smile looks and works. Dr. Liyan Massaband, DMD, MPH, begins with a digital smile design, so you can preview your new smile before any tooth is touched, and recommends only the treatments your smile truly needs.
Some patients want a subtle refresh before a wedding. Others want to replace old, dark crowns, close gaps, or finally fix teeth they have hidden in photos for years. Whatever your starting point, the first step is the same: a relaxed conversation about what you would like to change, and an honest answer about what is possible.

What Is a Smile Makeover?
A smile makeover is a combination of cosmetic and restorative treatments planned together to improve the whole smile, rather than fixing one tooth at a time. It looks at tooth colour, shape, length, spacing, alignment, the gum line and your bite, and how they all fit your face.
It can be as simple as whitening plus bonding on a few teeth, or as involved as veneers, crowns and orthodontic treatment combined. What makes it a makeover is the planning: every step is designed in advance so the result looks balanced and natural.
Is It Right for You?
You may be a good candidate if you are bothered by:
- Stained or yellow teeth that whitening alone has not fixed
- Chipped, worn or uneven front teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Crooked or crowded teeth
- Short teeth or a gummy smile
- Old fillings or crowns that look dark, grey or obviously fake
- Missing teeth that affect how you smile and chew
Good candidates have healthy gums and teeth, or are happy to treat any decay or gum disease first, and want a result that looks natural on them. If you grind your teeth, we plan for that too, usually with a custom night guard to protect your new smile.
Your Options
Most plans fall into one of three levels. Your plan may blend them.
1. Smile refresh and one-week makeover
For a noticeable change in a short time, with little or no drilling.
- Professional teeth whitening
- Composite bonding to repair chips and close small gaps
- Tooth reshaping and minor gum contouring
These treatments do not need a lab, so they can often be completed in two or three visits within about a week. It is a popular choice before an event, a photo shoot or a big work moment.
2. Veneer smile makeover
The most common comprehensive option. Porcelain veneers are thin, custom ceramic shells bonded to the front of the teeth to change their colour, shape and length all at once. The American Dental Association describes them as custom-made, natural-looking coverings for the teeth. Most veneer makeovers cover the 6 to 10 teeth that show when you smile.
You choose the style. Some patients want a soft, natural look that nobody would notice as dental work. Others prefer a brighter, more uniform “Hollywood smile”. We design either one to suit your face, skin tone and lip line, so it never looks out of place.
Treatment usually takes 4 to 8 weeks, with temporary veneers in place so your smile always looks presentable.
3. Full smile rehabilitation
For smiles affected by heavy wear, broken teeth, failed old dental work or missing teeth. Function and health come first, with the look planned alongside. This may include ceramic crowns, dental implants and bite correction. Many people searching for “smile rehab” or an “extreme dental makeover” fall into this group.

Which Treatment Fixes Which Concern?
Your concern | Often treated with | Sometimes also |
Yellow or stained teeth | Professional whitening | Veneers if stains do not lift (stained teeth treatment) |
Chipped or worn edges | Composite bonding | Veneers or crowns |
Small gaps | Bonding or Invisalign | Veneers |
Crooked or crowded teeth | Veneers for mild cases | |
Gummy smile or uneven gum line | Crown lengthening | |
Dark or old crowns | New ceramic crowns | Whitening of natural teeth first |
Missing teeth | Dental implants | Implant bridge |
A tip from experience: if your teeth are crooked, straightening them first with Invisalign often means fewer veneers, or thinner ones, later.
How We Plan Your New Smile
Digital smile design is the foundation of every smile makeover at Confidental Beverly Hills. Before any preparation, injection, or treatment begins, you see exactly what your new smile will look like. This is not an approximation or a generic template. It is a precise digital rendering built from photographs and measurements of your specific face, teeth, and gum architecture.
Consultation and exam
We talk about what you like and dislike about your smile, take photos and digital X-rays, check your bite, and complete a comprehensive dental exam to make sure your teeth and gums are ready.
Digital smile design
We create a preview of your new smile on photos of your own face. You can compare shades, tooth lengths and shapes, and we adjust it together until it feels right. For veneer cases, a temporary mock-up can be placed in your mouth so you can see and feel the result first.
Written plan and estimate
You receive the treatments recommended, the order they will be done in, the timeline and an itemised cost for each step before anything is booked.
Treatment
Quick wins such as whitening or bonding usually come first. Veneers and crowns are made by a dental lab, with temporaries in between.
Final fit and follow-up
Your restorations are checked against the approved design. A follow-up visit about two weeks later confirms comfort, bite and gum health, and we set up your maintenance plan.

Insurance: as Cleveland Clinic notes, insurance usually does not cover treatment done only for appearance. Parts of a makeover that also repair damage, such as crowns on broken teeth or implants for missing teeth, may be partly covered. See understanding dental insurance.
Financing: monthly payment plans are available through CareCredit, and all major credit cards are accepted. See our payment options.
How Long Does It Take?
Type | Typical timeline |
Smile refresh or one-week makeover | 1 to 2 weeks |
Veneer makeover | 4 to 8 weeks |
Veneers and crowns, with Invisalign first | 6 to 12 months (most of it is Invisalign) |
Full smile rehabilitation with implants | 6 to 12 months |
Smile in a day: whitening, bonding and contouring can be done in one long visit. For people replacing all their teeth, All-on-4 dental implants can provide a fixed temporary set of teeth on the day of surgery, with the final teeth fitted after healing.
What It Can and Cannot Do
Being honest about limits is part of good planning.
- Whitening brightens natural teeth by several shades but does not change the colour of crowns, veneers or bonding. Cleveland Clinic notes that temporary sensitivity is the most common side effect.
- Veneers can change colour, shape and length and close gaps, but they cannot fix badly crooked teeth or a weak, heavily filled tooth.
- Bonding is quick and affordable but stains and chips more easily than porcelain.
- Results need care. Brushing, flossing, cleanings and a night guard if you grind all help your new smile last.
How Long Do the Results Last?
- Porcelain veneers and crowns: often 10 to 20 years
- Composite bonding: often 5 to 10 years
- Whitening: 1 to 3 years, depending on coffee, tea, wine and touch-ups
- Gum contouring: usually long-lasting
- Dental implants: the implant itself can last many decades

Smile Makeover FAQs
How much does a smile makeover cost in Beverly Hills?
A full smile makeover in California ranges from approximately $8,000 to $60,000 or more depending on the complexity of treatment. In Beverly Hills, veneer-based makeovers covering 6 to 10 teeth typically range from $12,000 to $25,000. Comprehensive makeovers involving implants, crowns, and gum work can exceed $30,000. A precise quote is provided at your consultation at Confidental Beverly Hills with full itemization before any treatment begins.
Can I get a smile makeover in one week?
Often, yes, if your plan uses whitening, bonding and reshaping, which do not need a dental lab. These can usually be completed in two or three visits within a week. Veneer makeovers take longer because the veneers are custom made.
What treatments are included in a smile makeover?
The most common are porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, composite bonding, crowns, Invisalign and gum contouring. Some plans also include dental implants. The combination depends on your teeth and your goals.
Can I see my new smile before treatment?
Yes. We create a digital smile design using photos of your face, and for veneer cases we can place a temporary mock-up in your mouth so you can see and feel the result before any preparation.
Does a smile makeover hurt?
Most steps are comfortable. Veneers and crowns are done with local anaesthetic, and whitening may cause short-term sensitivity. Sedation options are available if you feel anxious.
What is the difference between a smile makeover and smile rehabilitation?
A smile makeover mainly improves appearance on teeth that are basically healthy. Smile rehabilitation repairs worn, broken or missing teeth and restores function as well as appearance, often with crowns and implants.
Will the result look natural?
It should. We match shade, shape and surface texture to your face and your other teeth, and you approve the design before treatment. If you want a brighter, more noticeable look, we can plan that too.
Does insurance cover a smile makeover?
Usually not for purely cosmetic work. Treatments that also repair damage, such as crowns on broken teeth or implants for missing teeth, may be partly covered. We check your benefits for you.
