Before and After
What Is a Smile Makeover?
A smile makeover is a personalized combination of cosmetic dental procedures designed to address your unique aesthetic goals and give you the radiant, confident smile you deserve. Unlike a single treatment, a smile makeover takes a comprehensive, whole-smile approach — evaluating the shape, size, color, and alignment of your teeth, as well as the harmony between your smile and your facial features.
Dr. Marc Lazare and his team work closely with each patient to develop a fully customized treatment plan. Depending on your goals, a smile makeover may include one or more of the following procedures:
Porcelain veneers — ultra-thin shells bonded to the front of teeth to instantly correct shape, size, and color
Professional teeth whitening — advanced whitening systems that brighten your smile by several shades, far beyond what store-bought products can achieve
Dental bonding — tooth-colored resin to repair chips, cracks, or gaps with minimal tooth reduction
Invisalign / clear aligners — discreet teeth straightening without metal braces, ideal for adults and teens
Dental implants — permanent, natural-looking replacements for missing teeth, anchored directly into the jawbone
Dental crowns — full-coverage restorations that protect and beautify severely damaged or weakened teeth
Dental bridges — fixed, non-removable solutions for replacing one or more consecutive missing teeth
Whether your goal is to correct years of staining, repair worn or chipped teeth, or completely transform your appearance, a smile makeover in Upper East Side can be tailored to your timeline, budget, and aesthetic preferences.

Who Is a Good Candidate for a Smile Makeover?
A smile makeover is an excellent option for anyone who feels self-conscious about their smile or wants to make a meaningful improvement in their appearance. You may be an ideal candidate if you have:
Stained or discolored teeth that don't respond to over-the-counter whitening products — often caused by coffee, wine, tobacco, or certain medications
Chipped, cracked, or worn teeth that affect the overall look and symmetry of your smile
Gaps or spacing issues between teeth that create an uneven or incomplete appearance
Crooked or misaligned teeth that make you hesitant to smile in photos or social situations
Missing teeth that impact both your appearance and your ability to eat or speak comfortably
Uneven gum lines or teeth that appear too short, too long, or disproportionate to your face
A desire to boost self-confidence — and make a lasting impression in your personal and professional life
The most important prerequisite for a smile makeover is a healthy oral foundation. Before beginning any cosmetic work, Dr. Lazare will ensure that any underlying issues — such as gum disease, cavities, or bite problems — are addressed first. This ensures your results are not only beautiful, but long-lasting.
During your complimentary consultation, Dr. Lazare will assess your oral health, listen to your goals, and recommend the most effective combination of treatments for your specific needs and lifestyle.

Smile Makeover Process: What to Expect
At Dr. Marc Lazare's Upper East Side practice, the smile makeover journey is a collaborative, transparent process — you'll be informed and involved at every stage. Here's what you can expect from start to finish:
Step 1: Initial Consultation & Smile Assessment
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation. Dr. Lazare takes time to understand your aesthetic goals, concerns, and expectations. He evaluates your teeth, gums, and bite; reviews your dental and medical history; and discusses which treatments are the best fit for your situation. There's no pressure — this is your opportunity to ask questions and explore your options.
Step 2: Personalized Treatment Planning
Using advanced digital imaging and smile simulation technology, you'll get a preview of what your transformed smile could look like before any work begins. This step ensures complete alignment between your vision and the treatment plan — no surprises, no guesswork. You'll have a clear picture of the expected outcomes, timeline, and investment.
Step 3: Treatment Phases
Depending on the complexity of your plan, treatment may be completed in a single visit or across multiple appointments. Dr. Lazare prioritizes comfort and precision at every phase, whether that's preparing teeth for veneers, fitting custom restorations, performing whitening, or placing implants. Each step is paced to your comfort and schedule.
Step 4: Final Reveal & Follow-Up
Once your smile makeover is complete, you'll have a final review appointment to ensure everything looks and feels exactly right. Dr. Lazare and his team will confirm that your bite is comfortable, your restorations are properly fitted, and that you're completely satisfied with your results. Minor adjustments can be made at this stage if needed.
Step 5: Ongoing Care & Maintenance
Protecting your investment is simple with regular professional cleanings, routine check-ups, and personalized at-home care recommendations. Dr. Lazare's team will provide detailed aftercare instructions tailored to your specific treatments — whether that means caring for veneers, implants, or whitening results. Many patients find that a new smile motivates them to prioritize oral health like never before.
