Our Cosmetic Dental Services in NYC
Thoughtfully designed cosmetic treatments that enhance the natural beauty, balance, and character of your smile. Every treatment is personalized to your features, goals, and desired results for a refined look that still feels unmistakably you.
Smile Makeovers
A beautiful smile begins with thoughtful planning. Our personalized smile makeovers are designed to improve the shape, color, proportion, and overall harmony of your teeth while preserving a natural appearance.
Using treatments such as composite bonding and other conservative cosmetic techniques, we can address chips, small gaps, discoloration, uneven edges, and minor imperfections to create a more balanced, confident smile.
Teeth Contouring & Reshaping
Subtle refinements can make a remarkable difference. Teeth contouring and reshaping gently corrects uneven edges, minor irregularities, and small differences in tooth shape to create a smoother and more symmetrical smile.
This conservative cosmetic treatment is designed to enhance your natural teeth with precision, delivering an elegant, polished result without dramatically changing the character of your smile.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything You Need to Know Before Your Visit
How is a cosmetic dentist different from a general dentist?
Cosmetic dentistry does not require a separate dental license. Any licensed dentist can provide cosmetic treatment. What matters most is experience, aesthetic training, and the quality of previous results. Dr. Shimanov has focused on cosmetic dentistry outcomes for more than 20 years.
Is composite bonding a good alternative to porcelain veneers?
For many patients, it is. Composite bonding is considerably less expensive, does not require removing enamel, and can often be completed during one appointment. It works especially well for chips, small gaps, and minor discoloration. Bonding commonly lasts 5–7 years, compared with about 10–15 years for porcelain veneers.
How much time should I expect for a complete smile makeover?
Timing depends on the treatments included in your plan. A makeover based entirely on composite bonding may be completed in one visit. If veneers, whitening, or contouring across several teeth are involved, treatment usually takes 2–3 appointments over roughly 3–6 weeks. Your expected timeline is reviewed before treatment begins.
Can cosmetic dentistry still give me a natural-looking smile?
Yes. Natural-looking results depend heavily on careful planning and execution. Dr. Shimanov considers the color and shape of surrounding teeth along with facial proportions so that bonding and other cosmetic work blend naturally with your smile.
Is cosmetic dental treatment uncomfortable or painful?
Most cosmetic procedures are minimally invasive. Composite bonding and teeth contouring normally require no anesthesia. More extensive smile makeover treatment can sometimes cause temporary sensitivity, but it generally does not require significant recovery time.
How can I determine which cosmetic treatment is best for my smile?
You do not need to select a procedure before your consultation. Dr. Shimanov can examine your teeth, learn what you would like to change, and explain which treatments are realistic for your individual situation. The goal is for you to leave the consultation with a clear treatment plan.
Can dental insurance help pay for cosmetic dentistry?
Procedures performed only for cosmetic purposes are usually considered elective and are generally not covered by insurance. If treatment also addresses a functional problem — such as bonding used to repair a cracked tooth — your PPO plan may contribute toward the cost. Coverage can be reviewed before treatment.
What should I expect to pay for cosmetic dentistry in NYC?
Cosmetic dentistry pricing varies based on the treatment and how many teeth are involved. Because every case is different, the most accurate pricing is provided after a consultation. You will receive a complete treatment and cost breakdown before making a commitment.
Can cosmetic dentistry repair chipped, cracked, or worn teeth?
Yes. Composite bonding is specifically useful for repairing chips, cracks, and worn areas of teeth. When damage is more extensive, the recommended solution may instead be bonding, porcelain veneers, or a dental crown, depending on how much healthy tooth structure remains.
How permanent are the results of cosmetic dental treatment?
Different cosmetic treatments have different lifespans. Composite bonding commonly lasts 5–7 years, while porcelain veneers commonly last 10–15 years. Teeth contouring creates a permanent change because the enamel that is removed does not grow back. Grinding, staining foods, oral hygiene, and skipped cleanings can all affect how long cosmetic work lasts.

Can cosmetic treatments be combined?
Yes. A personalized smile makeover can involve more than one cosmetic treatment when appropriate. Depending on your smile and goals, Dr. Shimanov can discuss options such as composite bonding, teeth contouring, whitening, or veneers and develop a coordinated treatment plan designed to create a balanced, natural-looking result.
