Crafting Your Perfect Smile: The Art of Custom Smile Makeovers
Many patients dream of a whole new look but aren’t sure where to begin. At Astoria Dental Group in Queens, NY, Dr. Clifford Degel and Dr. Carmen Every-Degel can help you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted through a personalized smile makeover. Our dentists are highly experienced in cutting-edge cosmetic procedures including porcelain veneers, dental crowns, Zoom!® and BriteSmile® whitening, dental bonding, and more—transforming your dream smile into reality.
Designing Your Custom Smile Makeover
We invite you to take the first step by scheduling a consultation, viewing our smile gallery, or exploring some of our most popular procedures:
- Digital Smile Design
- Cosmetic Gum Lift (Smile Lift)
- Teeth Whitening
- Dental Implants
- Restorative Dentistry
- Porcelain Veneers
- Invisalign®
Enjoy Improved Self-Confidence
A smile makeover can dramatically improve your self-esteem. Using digital imaging technology, we work with you to visualize your results and plan your ideal smile. The outcome can truly be life-changing.
Preview Your Results with Digital Smile Design
Digital Smile Design uses computer imaging to customize and preview your new smile before treatment begins. This collaborative process takes into account your goals, facial structure, and other factors—helping you make confident, informed decisions about your smile transformation.
Comprehensive Coverage with Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are an excellent solution for enhancing multiple aspects of your smile at once. If your teeth are discolored, worn, chipped, or misaligned, veneers can give you beautifully shaped, white, and straight teeth. Crafted from stain-resistant, luminous porcelain, veneers bond securely to your teeth for a long-lasting, natural-looking smile makeover.
Recontour a Gummy Smile with a Cosmetic Gum Lift
If your teeth appear short due to excess gum tissue, a cosmetic gum lift may be the perfect solution. This laser-assisted procedure reshapes your gum line to reveal more tooth surface. Often, it is paired with veneers or crowns for further enhancement—though some patients achieve ideal results with the gum lift alone. Our dentists will work with you to find the right strategy for your unique goals.
