You have a great question, good for you for planning well toward the final result.

Here is how I would approach it: I would have a cosmetic dentist evaluate and discuss your concerns. Some corrections can be made easily, with a laser. If there are many changes or certain dramatic ones, then you may need a periodontist to do that procedure.

For the years ahead to come, really the cosmetic dentist will be responsible for helping you maintain the results that you want, and really the overall health of your mouth. (A common misnomer I see is that you should just see the cosmetic dentist for this limited esthetic procedure, then just "go back to your regular dentist" for all of the other things. I believe that the durability of the esthetic results depend heavily on how the whole system works.)

The fee can vary widely, and really depends upon how much needs to be done (realistically, from a few hundred, to even a couple of thousand).

It the bit fixed and stable?

Do the color and shape of the teeth please you?

How much of the gums and on which teeth need to be contoured?

If could be a few hundred or more depending on how many teeth are involved.

My recommendation would be to start with a General Dentist who completes a comprehesive exam, digital photos, and smile analyze. Call me directly if I can answer your questions in more detail.
