I went to a well-known cosmetic dentist in my area to get a smile makeover. What I really wanted are whiter, straighter teeth, and maybe add some length to them. The price was far too high. Is there a way to get an inexpensive smile makeover or do they only come pricey?

Dear Mariella,
We all want that beautiful, Hollywood smile. Though, those often come at Hollywood prices. One thing I would caution you against is trying to find a dentist who will do your smile makeover cheaply, especially if you are getting something like porcelain veneers. You will end up disappointed with the results. If you want a stunning smile, you need to use the expert cosmetic dentists who can give you gorgeous results. That doesn’t mean you can’t improve your smile without the cost of porcelain veneers.
Inexpensive Ways to Improve Your Smile
The quickest, most inexpensive way to improve your smile is with teeth whitening. It quickly makes your smile look years younger.
If you’re wanting to straighten your teeth, especially as an adult, I recommend Invisalign. Some people call them invisible braces. This is because they use clear aligners instead of metal wires and brackets. They can straighten your teeth without anyone even knowing, even at a conversational distance.
One lovely side benefit of Invisalign is it allows you to do both at once, at a fraction of the cost. The clear aligners are custom-fitted to your bite. This also allows them to double as teeth whitening trays. By the time your Invisalign treatment is over, you will have both straight and brilliantly white teeth.
This will give you a significant improvement to your smile at just a fraction of the cost. If you still want porcelain veneers after that, I recommend saving up to do it right.
