Comprehensive Coverage with Porcelain Veneers
If you wish to enhance several aspects of your smile in one step, porcelain veneers may be your best option. If your teeth are discolored, worn down, chipped, misaligned, or all of these, you have options. Porcelain veneers can give you beautifully shaped, straight, white teeth in a stunning smile makeover. Custom-crafted of luminous, stain-resistant porcelain, veneers tenaciously bond to teeth for a long-lasting, gorgeous smile.
Recontour a Gummy Smile with a Cosmetic Gum Lift
If you have a “gummy” smile with teeth that appear too short, you have several great options for your smile makeover. One of our popular procedures is laser gum lift surgery combined with crown lengthening accomplished with porcelain veneers or porcelain crowns.
Using a wide array of cutting-edge cosmetic, restorative, and general dentistry techniques, our dentists can give you a smile that will give you many years of confidence and joy.
During a cosmetic gum lift, one of our dentists uses a laser to gently sculpt and shape your gums so that more of each tooth is visible. Often, we follow up this gum reshaping by placing veneers or crowns, which enhances the shape and length of teeth. However, many patients attain the look they desire with the gum lift alone. Consult with our dentists to learn which strategy can achieve the look you desire.
Professional Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening, performed on its own or in conjunction with other techniques, is a powerful method of removing stains from your smile. Undergoing a whitening treatment will reveal a new look that will give you increased confidence in your personal, social, and professional life. Today’s physician-supervised whitening systems are painless and do not alter the structure of your tooth enamel; at the same time, they whiten your teeth up to 14 shades and can be performed in about an hour. We offer two proven teeth whitening systems:
Replace Missing Teeth with Dental Implants
Missing teeth can detract from the beauty of your smile. Luckily, modern dentistry offers a hassle-free, permanent solution to gaps in your smile — dental implants, which patients can now get in just one visit! Our practice features leading implant dentists equipped to give patients natural-looking, long-lasting restorations.
Improve the Look and Health of Your Smile with Invisalign®
Do you think that straightening your teeth requires painful metal braces and years of difficulty speaking, eating, and maintaining dental hygiene? Think again! Invisalign® invisible braces take the pain and inconvenience out of straightening your teeth. The Invisalign system uses custom-made, invisible plastic aligners that you can remove when eating, drinking, or brushing your teeth. These aligners gently nudge your teeth into place, giving you a stunning smile makeover. You’ll have a flawless smile before you know it!

Achieve a Healthy Foundation
with Restorative and General Dentistry
Before you can undergo a cosmetic smile makeover at our New York City practice near Manhattan, your smile must be in healthy condition. Restorative and general dentistry procedures are often the first step to completing a comprehensive smile makeover. For example, gum disease treatment or bone grafting is often necessary before dental implants can be successfully placed.
Because our practice offers a full range of general and restorative dentistry techniques such as tooth-colored fillings, root canal therapy, and wisdom tooth extraction, our dentists are fully equipped to bring your smile up to the optimum level of health and beauty. We even offer sedation dentistry, which can make even the most intense course of treatments relaxing and free from discomfort.
