Cosmetic dentistry can improve the color, shape, alignment, symmetry, and overall appearance of a smile while still respecting tooth health, bite function, and long-term maintenance. At Prosth & Co. on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, cosmetic treatment is planned as part of a complete dental evaluation—not as a one-size-fits-all procedure.
Cosmetic Dentistry Options at Prosth & Co.
The right treatment depends on the condition of the teeth and gums, the type of change you want, and how the final result needs to function. Explore the primary cosmetic and restorative options below.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are custom restorations placed on the visible surface of selected teeth. They may be considered for chips, discoloration, minor gaps, uneven shape, or smile-proportion concerns.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding uses tooth-colored composite material for selected chips, small gaps, and conservative cosmetic changes. It can be a useful alternative when a more limited correction is appropriate.
Smile Makeover Planning
A smile makeover may combine more than one treatment. The plan can include veneers, bonding, crowns, whitening, alignment, or restorative care depending on the patient’s goals and clinical needs.
Dental Crowns
A crown may be more appropriate than a veneer when a tooth needs greater structural protection. Crowns can restore strength and appearance while covering the full visible portion of a tooth.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners may help selected patients improve tooth alignment with removable trays. Alignment can sometimes be part of a broader cosmetic or restorative plan.
Which Cosmetic Treatment Fits Your Goals?
- Color concerns: professional whitening or restorative options may be considered after an evaluation.
- Small chips or gaps: bonding may offer a conservative solution.
- Shape, symmetry, or multiple visible concerns: porcelain veneers or a smile makeover plan may be appropriate.
- Structurally damaged teeth: crowns or other restorative treatment may be needed.
- Alignment concerns: clear aligners or traditional orthodontic treatment may be discussed.
Cosmetic Planning Should Include Function
A cosmetic result should not be planned in isolation from gum health, tooth structure, and bite forces. The evaluation may include photographs, digital scans, existing restorations, tooth wear, and how the upper and lower teeth meet.
Patients with several worn, damaged, or failing teeth may need a broader full mouth rehabilitation plan rather than a cosmetic-only approach.
