Smile Makeover & Smile Design in Chanhassen, MN
A smile makeover is for when you want to change more than one thing about your smile. Maybe your teeth are a little yellow, a couple are chipped, and one sits crooked. Instead of fixing them one at a time, Dr. Monil Mehta designs one plan that brings it all together, built around your face, your lips and the look you want. You see a preview of your new smile before treatment starts.
What Is Smile Design?
Smile design is the planning behind a great smile makeover. Dr. Mehta looks at the shape of your face, your lip line, how much tooth shows when you talk and smile, and the proportions between your teeth.
- The shape of your face
- Your lip line
- How much tooth shows
- Proportions between teeth
Then he plans the size, shape and shade of each tooth so the final result looks like it belongs to you, not like a generic set of veneers.

Chanhassen's Top Dentist
The cost depends on what's in your plan. A makeover with whitening and a little bonding costs far less than one with a full set of veneers. Our porcelain veneers start at $1,750 per tooth. You'll get the full price in your plan before you commit to anything.
Many makeovers are done in two to four visits over a few weeks. If you need clear aligners first, plan on several months. Dr. Mehta will give you a timeline at your consultation.
Not when it's designed well. Dr. Mehta plans each tooth's shape and shade around your face and skin tone, and you approve the design first. You can ask for a softer, more natural look at any point.
Smile design is the planning, and the smile makeover is the treatment that brings that plan to life. At Dentistry on the Ponds, every makeover starts with smile design.
If you're missing several teeth or most of them, a smile makeover may include dental implants. For full arch replacement, see our full mouth dental implants page.
