Excelling at Smile Makeovers
Trained With
Industry Leaders
Dr. Chris Catalano has long had a passion for complex cases. Early in his career, he partnered with David Hornbrook, a pioneer in hands-on cosmetic dentistry training. This allowed Dr. Chris Catalano to be at the forefront of the cosmetic revolution. He has an extensive skill set and continues to push himself.
Constantly Striving
for Perfection
“I have a ceaseless desire to make things perfect,” says Dr. Chris Catalano. “I will go to the Nth degree to give patients what they want.” He prides himself on his ability to empathize and connect with each patient. Combined with his in-depth knowledge of technology and materials, he can provide unparalleled results.
An Emphasis on Treatment Planning
Unlike some other providers, Dr. Chris Catalano doesn’t use digital previews. He believes these can distort patients’ expectations and instead uses wax-ups. Combined with temporary restorations, this is the most reliable method to provide a nearly exact replica of what patients can expect.
Impeccable Results
This patient came to us with worn, broken, and stained teeth. Her comprehensive smile makeover procedure included 28 porcelain veneers and dental crowns. “It was so fun to be part of this transformation,” says Dr. Chris Catalano. “Her smile now matches her beautiful personality!”
“I have been going to Dr Catalano for 4 years now. He’s exceptionally skilled at what he does, kind, a great listener and truly cares about his patients. Wouldn’t see anyone else for cosmetic dentistry!”

Am I Covered?
Generally, cosmetic dentistry procedures are considered elective and aren't covered by insurance. That said, some procedures that provide both cosmetic and health-related benefits, including dental crowns and Invisalign®, are usually at least partially covered by insurance.
Our team will work hard to maximize your insurance benefits and discuss all your treatment options with you. We accept cash, Visa®, and Mastercard® to cover the out-of-pocket cost of your care.
A High-Tech Approach
Dr. Chris Catalano incorporates advanced technologies like digital smile design, digital bite analysis, and dental lasers into our care. He's also seen dental fads come and go and only uses trusted, reliable tools.
Staying at the Forefront of Cosmetic Dentistry
Makeovers Are More Than Just Cosmetic
Patients who want a smile makeover at our Kentfield office are most often concerned with the appearance of their smiles, and we routinely achieve life-changing transformations that boost their confidence in several ways. However, what many of them don’t know is that we can also improve their oral health at the same time. We do this by addressing:
- Crooked or Overlapping Teeth: Misaligned teeth are difficult to keep clean. Overlapping teeth can accumulate plaque and tartar, putting you at an increased risk of developing cavities.
- Problems With Your Bite: Do you suffer from headaches or facial pain? Do you grind your teeth, have chips, or notice worn enamel? You might suffer from temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder. We might recommend clear aligners to straighten your teeth or dental crowns to restore balance to your bite, which can relieve a wide range of distressing symptoms.

FAQ
We're happy to provide you with information on everything ranging from treatment planning to aftercare when you visit our office. Until then, explore answers to some frequent questions and concerns.
How much does a smile makeover cost?
Each treatment plan is precisely customized so the cost will vary from patient to patient. To get a ballpark figure, it can be helpful to know a single veneer at our office costs between $2,500-$3,000. During your smile makeover consultation in Kentfield, we can discuss your treatment options and provide an accurate estimate of how much your dental care will cost.
How long does a smile makeover take?
Again, this answer will vary widely depending on the specifics of your particular situation. We can generally place veneers in a few appointments spaced a couple of weeks apart. Something like Invisalign, however, could take up to 18 months until you achieve your desired results.
Are smile makeovers suitable for all ages?
This type of cosmetic upgrade is best for our patients whose adult teeth have come in and whose jaws and other parts of the face have completely finished growing. Otherwise, your bite could change the results of your cosmetic work could become compromised.
Is full mouth reconstruction different?
Rather than focusing on cosmetic dental procedures, full mouth reconstruction is a personalized treatment plan that aims to restore your oral health. If you suffer from concerns like gum disease or extensive tooth decay, we might recommend dental implants or other methods to address damaged teeth.
