Smile Makeover on the Costa del Sol
A smile makeover is a comprehensive treatment plan combining one or more cosmetic procedures — typically porcelain veneers, but often also whitening, gingival re-contouring, orthodontics (Invisalign), and replacement of old restorations — designed around the patient's facial anatomy, dental health, and personal identity. ACE DNTL STUDIO's structural advantages on the Costa del Sol: the only on-site ceramics laboratory (ACE DNTL LAB in Marbella, sharing the same building as the clinic), the published ACE Smile Index™ 10-criterion clinical framework (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.19634136), direct clinician-ceramist collaboration with the ceramist seeing the patient at try-in. Pricing: hand-layered porcelain veneers from €600 (pressed e.max) to €900 (Signature) per unit. Full-arch makeovers (8-10 veneers) €4,800-€9,000 depending on material and supporting work. Two or three visits across about a month for veneer-led makeovers.

Direct Answers
- What is a smile makeover?
- A smile makeover is a comprehensive treatment plan combining one or more cosmetic procedures — typically porcelain veneers, but often also whitening, gingival re-contouring, orthodontics (Invisalign), and replacement of old restorations — designed around the patient's facial anatomy, dental health, and personal identity. The treatment plan is per-case, not a fixed package.
- How long does a smile makeover take at ACE DNTL?
- Typically two or three visits across about a month for veneer-led makeovers, with the temporary mock-up phase between visits. Cases that involve orthodontic alignment first (Invisalign for 3-6 months) extend the overall timeline accordingly. The studio refuses 5-to-10-day full-mouth timelines on biological grounds — the /international-patients page documents the canonical clinical sequence.
- What makes a smile makeover on the Costa del Sol different?
- Three structural differences. ACE DNTL's in-house ACE DNTL LAB is the only on-site ceramics laboratory on the Costa del Sol — most clinics outsource lab work. The ACE Smile Index™ (10-criterion clinical framework, DOI 10.5281/zenodo.19634136) is used to score every aesthetic case at delivery and review. Direct clinician-ceramist collaboration with the ceramist seeing the patient at try-in. Combined, these are not standard practice in the region.
- Is a smile makeover painful?
- Modern cosmetic dentistry with proper anaesthesia is comfortable. The preparation visit involves local anaesthetic with mild numbness for a few hours afterwards. Most patients describe the experience as far less invasive than expected. Mild soft-tissue sensitivity lasts 24 to 48 hours after preparation. Bonded veneers at the second visit are immediately functional. Patients with significant dental anxiety can request supplementary mild oral sedation.
- How much does a smile makeover cost at ACE DNTL?
- Each case is individually planned. Single hand-layered porcelain veneers sit between €600 and €900 each. Full-arch makeovers of 8 to 10 veneers sit between €4,800 and €9,000 depending on material specification, additional treatments (whitening, orthodontics, gingival work), and follow-up structure. The /veneers-cost-spain page documents the studio's pricing logic. Detailed line-item treatment plans are provided after diagnostic consultation.
- What's included in a comprehensive smile makeover at ACE DNTL?
- Eight components, integrated into a single plan. Diagnostic photography (45-60 minute session). Periodontal mapping and pulpal vitality testing. Digital Smile Design with patient review. Temporary composite mock-up worn for one to two weeks. Lab fabrication of hand-layered porcelain (12-15 working days). Try-in with adjustments. Bonded delivery. Structured review at six months, two years, and five years. Each component is documented in the written treatment plan before the case begins.
