What is a dental facelift?

A dental facelift, or anti-aging dentofacial lift, uses porcelain veneers and crowns to restore worn tooth height and reopen a collapsed bite. Rebuilding this structure lifts the lower face, restores lip support, and softens lines around the mouth without surgery.

How is a dental facelift different from a surgical facelift or fillers?

Surgery repositions skin and fillers add volume on top, but neither replaces the tooth structure whose loss caused the lower face to shorten. A dental facelift rebuilds that foundation, so the lift is structural, comes with healthier teeth and a better bite, and involves no incisions or downtime. Dr. Veytsman usually recommends starting with the teeth, because they are the foundation of the lower face; once that volume is rebuilt, any filler or facial surgery you still want can be far more conservative.

How long does a dental facelift take?

Most cases are completed in three to five visits over about four to eight weeks, including digital design, a trial smile, a short period in temporaries to confirm the new bite, and placement of the final porcelain.

How long do the results last?

Porcelain veneers and crowns commonly last 10 to 15 years or more with good care. A custom night guard protects them from grinding, the same force that wore the natural teeth down, and routine cleanings keep the restorations and gums healthy.

How much does a dental facelift cost in NYC?

At Cosmetic Dental Studios, a dental facelift typically ranges from $20,000 to $65,000 depending on the number of teeth restored and the complexity of the bite change. Restorative portions are often partially covered by insurance, and financing is available.

I already have lip filler. Does that matter?

Yes, mention it at your consultation. Very full lips can cast a shadow over the teeth, so Dr. Veytsman may adjust the color or volume of your new teeth, or suggest adjusting the filler first.

Can I start from out of town?

Yes. The consultation can be held virtually, and patients who travel to New York are usually scheduled for two longer visits so the case can be completed in one trip.

Full-Mouth Reconstruction vs. a Smile Makeover

A smile makeover mainly changes how your smile looks, usually with veneers, crowns, whitening, Invisalign, or bonding. A full-mouth reconstruction goes further and is often done in phases. It can include opening the bite, replacing old restorations, gum and bone procedures, and implants. Both start with detailed smile design that accounts for function, looks, and health.

The Stages of a Full-Mouth Reconstruction

Consultation and Smile Design

Dr. Veytsman looks at your goals, your teeth, gums, and bite, and your whole face. She shows you a mock-up of the planned smile and maps out the finished result before any treatment begins.

Gums, Bone, and Old Dental Work First

Old restorations come out, cavities are treated, and gum or bone problems are handled first, since everything else is built on them. If you need surgery or root canals, a specialist from her team does that work.

Implants and Healing Time

If your plan includes implants or gum surgery, this is when it happens. Your healing sets the pace, so the next phase starts only when your mouth is ready.

Final Porcelain and Your New Bite

Dr. Veytsman places your final porcelain restorations and restores your bite, only after you have both approved how they look and fit. Follow-up visits check your bite and take care of any adjustments.

Signs You May Need a Full-Mouth Reconstruction

How Rebuilding Your Bite Supports Your Lower Face

As your teeth wear down, they lose height, and the lower third of your face can start to collapse with them. You see the same change when someone takes out their dentures. Rebuilding your teeth to the right height can give your lips and cheeks back the support they lost. Dr. Veytsman says creating a pretty smile is “probably the easiest part” of these cases. The bite, and making the work last, take the most planning.

Crowns, Veneers, and Implants in a Full-Mouth Reconstruction”

Dr. Veytsman presents all of your options and leans toward the most conservative plan that gets the result you want. If you already like the size and shape of your teeth, Invisalign, bonding, or whitening may be enough.

Cost of Full-Mouth Reconstruction In Manhattan, NY

A dental facelift at Cosmetic Dental Studios typically ranges from $20,000 to $65,000, depending on how many teeth must be restored, whether veneers or crowns are required, and how much bite height is rebuilt. A lift focused on the upper front teeth sits at the lower end; a full-mouth reconstruction with porcelain on both arches sits at the upper end. Because worn teeth and a collapsed bite are functional problems, the restorative portion of treatment is often partially covered by dental insurance, and our team will help you pursue that coverage. Financing is available through PatientFi and Cherry, and you will receive an itemized quote after your consultation and digital design.

Why Choose Cosmetic Dental Studios for Full-Mouth Reconstruction

Dr. Victoria Rose Veytsman does a lot of this work, from replacing 30-year-old crowns to cases that combine implants, bridges, crowns, and veneers. Your New York restorations are layered by hand in feldspathic porcelain at Jason J. Kim Lab, so they let light through the way natural teeth do.

Common Questions About
Full-Mouth Reconstruction

Will I Have Teeth During Treatment?

Yes. You wear temporaries at every stage, so you’re never walking around with a missing tooth, and you’re comfortable enough to eat and go out.

How Long Does a Full-Mouth Reconstruction Take?

Anywhere from about three weeks to six months. Cases with implants, gum treatment, or root canals take longer, because the plan follows your healing.

Will I Be Comfortable During Long Appointments?

Some visits run several hours. Dr. Veytsman keeps you comfortable with local anesthesia or IV sedation.

How Do I Care for My New Teeth Afterward?”

Brush twice a day, floss, keep your regular checkups and cleanings, and wear a night guard if you grind your teeth.

Can I Fly In for a Full-Mouth Reconstruction?

Yes. More than half of Dr. Veytsman’s patients fly in. Your treatment is grouped into a few longer visits, and her patient concierge schedules them around your flights and accommodations.

In Their Words

Patient Testimonials

4.9 average rating across 350+ Google and Yelp reviews

“I had gotten veneers over 20 years ago on six of my top teeth. I noticed friends with veneers looked much whiter, more natural, and more feminine than mine, their smiles wider and more uniform. I decided to replace my veneers realizing the technology had changed drastically. I decided to go to Dr. V and could not be happier.”

“I went to Dr. Veytsman because I was tired of feeling self-conscious and sad about my teeth. She’s an absolutely brilliant cosmetic dentist who TOTALLY changed the way my teeth look for the better! I can’t get over what a difference her work has made in how I look and feel.”

“Dr. Veytsman and team rock! They were super attentive to every detail from start to finish. Honest, realistic and professional. Can’t recommend them enough.”
