What is cosmetic dentistry?

You may have heard the term before, but what is cosmetic dentistry? Simply put, this branch of dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of your smile. The goal is to create a natural and beautiful look without compromising function or comfort.

Cosmetic dentistry can help manage common dental issues such as:

  • Discolored or stained teeth
  • Misaligned or crooked teeth
  • Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Missing teeth

Our smile makeover treatments at Madison Avenue Dentists

The treatments involved in a smile makeover vary based on needs and goals. At Madison Avenue Dentists, we offer a range of cosmetic dentistry services in New York, NY, including:

  • Teeth whitening: This is a quick, easy way to brighten enamel by up to several shades. We offer in-office appointments and at-home whitening products to fit your schedule and preferences.
  • Porcelain veneers: These custom-made, thin shells of porcelain are bonded to the front of the teeth to improve their shape, size, color, and overall appearance.
  • Orthodontics: Traditional or clear braces can effectively correct misaligned or crooked teeth for a straighter smile.
  • Dental bonding and contouring: This noninvasive treatment uses tooth-colored material to reshape or repair small imperfections like chips, cracks, or gaps in teeth.
  • Tooth-colored fillings: Unlike traditional metal fillings, which stand out when you smile, tooth-colored fillings blend in seamlessly with natural teeth for a more aesthetically pleasing result.

How long does a smile makeover take?

Some people are concerned that their cosmetic dentistry procedures will require months of treatment. So, how long does a smile makeover take? The timeline varies based on the individual and the procedures involved. In some cases, a transformation can be achieved in just one or two appointments. Of course, complex cases may require more time and multiple visits.

During an initial consultation, Dr. Oh will perform a thorough evaluation and discuss your goals before creating a custom treatment plan. We can include an estimated timeline to help you understand the process and manage your expectations.
