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.
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.
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.
Smile Makeover Treatments Available on the Upper East Side
Dr. Marc Lazare offers a full spectrum of cosmetic dentistry treatments, allowing patients to achieve their ideal smile through a single procedure or a comprehensive combination approach. Each option is explained below — click the links to learn more about individual services.
Professional teeth whitening delivers results far beyond what store-bought products can achieve. Using high-concentration whitening agents and advanced light-activation systems, Dr. Lazare can brighten your smile by multiple shades in just one visit — safely and comfortably. This is one of the most popular first steps in any smile makeover.
Custom-crafted from translucent dental porcelain, veneers are bonded to the front surface of teeth to instantly correct color, shape, size, and minor misalignment. They’re versatile, natural-looking, and durable — often referred to as the “Hollywood smile” treatment for their dramatic transformative results.
Dental bonding uses a tooth-colored composite resin to repair chipped or cracked teeth, close small gaps, and improve overall symmetry. It’s one of the most affordable and minimally invasive cosmetic options available, and can often be completed in a single appointment with no anesthesia required.
Invisalign / Teeth Straightening
Invisalign clear aligners offer a discreet, comfortable way to straighten teeth without traditional metal braces. Custom-made for your smile using 3D digital scanning, they’re virtually invisible and removable — ideal for adults and teens who want straighter teeth without compromising aesthetics during treatment.
Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. Anchored directly into the jawbone, they look, feel, and function like natural teeth — and with proper care, they can last a lifetime. Implants preserve bone structure, prevent surrounding teeth from shifting, and provide a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or full-arch restorations.
Custom-fabricated dental crowns restore the appearance and function of teeth that are severely decayed, cracked, or structurally compromised. Made from high-quality porcelain or ceramic materials, they blend seamlessly with surrounding natural teeth while providing lasting strength and protection.
Dental bridges offer a fixed, non-removable solution for replacing one or more consecutive missing teeth. Anchored to adjacent natural teeth or implants, they restore the completeness of your smile, improve bite function, and prevent the gradual shifting that occurs when gaps are left untreated.
Combining multiple treatments produces the most transformative outcomes. During your consultation, Dr. Lazare will help you identify which combination best addresses your goals — while respecting your timeline and budget.
