Aesthetic dentistry brings together a combination of different cosmetic and restorative treatments to create a beautiful overall appearance that you can be confident of showing off.
Why Invest in a Smile Makeover?
Smile makeovers are truly an individual experience. People choose to address the appearance of their teeth for a variety of different reasons. It could be that they feel self-conscious about the way their teeth look and are embarrassed about other people seeing their smile.
Some of the people getting smile makeovers in Forest Hills do so because they’re looking to get a job promotion, are getting back into the dating scene, or it’s something they’ve thought about for a long time.
There’s no right or wrong reason for wanting to get a smile makeover. It’s truly an individual choice that you make on your own.
You may want to talk about different cosmetic options if you have aesthetic concerns such as:
- Broken or misshaped teeth
- Missing teeth
- Severe discoloration
- Teeth that are crooked or gapped


Individualized Care Plans
When you visit with Dr. Mark for a smile makeover consultation and exam, we’ll walk you through all of the different options available to address your specific concerns. Whether you want whiter teeth, need to close up a few gaps in your smile, or something else, we’ll have an opportunity to discuss the various choices that are effective for those issues.
As part of your smile makeover planning, we’ll take a series of X-rays and impressions of your teeth. It may be necessary to create what’s called a “wax up,” which is essentially a preview of our recommended course of treatment. Being able to see the modifications to your individual teeth can help you feel confident about moving forward with the final treatment plan.
Types of Cosmetic Dentistry Options
In most cases, Dr. Mark will recommend a variety of different cosmetic and aesthetic restorative treatments for the best overall impact. You may only need one or two of these, while other individuals require 3-4 or more.
Some of the most common Forest Hills cosmetic dentistry services we offer include:
Teeth Whitening — Professionally whiten your teeth to remove multiple layers of deep staining in your enamel. Whitening is usually the first step to a smile makeover, so that new restorations can be designed to match your brighter teeth. We offer both in-house and take-home whitening treatments.
Dental Veneers — Drastically transform the entire appearance of your smile. Veneers (porcelain, no-prep, or composite) are bonded over the front of your natural teeth, instantly changing the way they look. You can specify the exact color, shape, and size that you want your teeth to be.
White Fillings — Need to repair an area of tooth decay? Our white fillings are minimally invasive and custom matched to the natural color of your tooth. We can even put one on a front tooth without other people being able to tell.
Tooth Recontouring — Adjusting irregular edges or uneven teeth is simple. We can gently smooth the surface out for a more consistent tooth shape; no numbing is needed.
Dental Bonding — Bonding is perfect for efficiently patching over misshaped enamel or filling in gaps between your teeth. After we shape it to the tooth, a bright light cures it in place. It’s a simple and comfortable procedure.
Porcelain Crowns — Need to repair a badly damaged, broken, or decayed tooth? Our ceramic dental crowns are durable with the aesthetic appeal you can count on. Plus, we can place them over dental implants to replace missing teeth.
Invisalign Braces — If your teeth are relatively healthy, Invisalign can help to straighten them so that you can holistically enhance the look of your smile. You can even choose to whiten your teeth at the same time.
