A smile makeover transforms more than just your teeth—it reshapes your confidence and how the world perceives you. When first impressions matter, your smile is your most powerful asset. Whether you’re dealing with discolored, chipped, misaligned, or missing teeth, a comprehensive smile makeover addresses multiple concerns with a customized treatment plan designed specifically for your unique dental structure and aesthetic goals.
At Dental West NYC, we combine artistic vision with advanced dental techniques to create natural-looking, beautiful smiles for our patients. Dr. Leora Walter and Dr. Noelia Richardson specialize in cosmetic dentistry, offering personalized smile transformations that enhance not just your appearance but your overall quality of life. Our Upper West Side cosmetic dentists’ approach ensures you receive the highest quality care, allowing us to focus exclusively on what’s best for your dental health and aesthetic goals.
What Is a Smile Makeover?
A smile makeover is a comprehensive approach to transforming your smile through a combination of cosmetic dental procedures. Unlike individual treatments that address specific concerns, a smile makeover looks at your teeth holistically, considering how various aesthetic elements work together to create a harmonious, natural-looking result.
Your smile makeover journey begins with a consultation where we discuss your goals and evaluate factors such as:
- Your facial structure and features
- Tooth color, size, shape, and alignment
- Gum tissue appearance and health
- Your personal aesthetic preferences
- Functional concerns that may affect your smile
This initial assessment allows us to develop a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. We take into account not just how your smile looks, but how it functions and how the improvements will complement your overall appearance.

Smile Makeover Treatment Options
We offer the following smile makeover treatment options:
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin shells of ceramic material bonded to the front surface of teeth to instantly transform their appearance. These custom-designed restorations can correct multiple aesthetic issues simultaneously, including discoloration, chips, gaps, and minor misalignments.
What makes veneers particularly appealing is their lifelike appearance, giving you a makeover with minimal chair time. The transformation can often be completed in just two appointments, and with proper care, porcelain veneers can maintain their beauty for years.
Professional Teeth Whitening
Professional whitening treatments at Dental West NYC provide dramatically brighter results than over-the-counter products. We offer both in-office and take-home whitening options, allowing you to choose the approach that best fits your lifestyle and sensitivity level.
For those preparing for important events or meetings, our in-office whitening can lighten teeth by several shades in just one appointment. Take-home custom trays offer more gradual whitening with the convenience of application on your own schedule.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding uses tooth-colored composite resin to repair chips, close small gaps, and improve the shape of teeth. This conservative treatment preserves more of your natural tooth structure while still providing noticeable aesthetic improvements.
The procedure is typically completed in a single visit and costs significantly less than porcelain veneers, making it an excellent option for addressing minor cosmetic concerns or as part of a more comprehensive smile makeover.
The Smile Makeover Process at Dental West NYC
At Dental West NYC, we’ve refined our smile makeover process to ensure predictable, beautiful results while providing a comfortable, stress-free experience for our patients.
The process typically follows these steps:
- Comprehensive consultation and smile analysis
- Digital imaging and creation of a treatment plan
- Preview of potential results through digital mockups
- Treatment phase to implement the agreed-upon procedures
- Final refinements and maintenance recommendations
We prioritize clear communication throughout the process, ensuring you understand each step and feel confident in the decisions being made about your smile. Our prosthodontist, Dr. Walter, brings exceptional expertise to aesthetic transformations, while Dr. Richardson’s talent for cosmetic dentistry ensures natural, beautiful results.
