Cosmetic dentistry at Gause is built on a simple idea: your smile should look like the best version of your own teeth, not a generic upgrade. Our New York City practice serves adults and appropriate adolescent patients who want thoughtful recommendations and high-quality care. Dr. Alex Gause combines advanced digital planning with a highly selective range of materials and techniques to deliver results that hold up to close scrutiny.
You can begin with an in-office visit or schedule a virtual consultation to discuss your goals.

Cosmetic dentistry covers any treatment focused on improving the appearance of your teeth and smile—color, shape, alignment, and proportion—while maintaining or improving oral health. At Gause, this is practiced as a genuinely digital discipline. CBCT imaging, intraoral scanning, and 3D printing are used throughout the planning and fabrication process, and the practice intentionally does not use milling, favoring 3D-printed models and guides for a more precise, efficient workflow.
Cosmetic services at Gause include:
Dr. Gause’s cosmetic credentials go well beyond general practice. He’s a graduate of the Kois Center, one of the most respected continuing education institutes in restorative and cosmetic dentistry, and serves as a Dentsply Sirona Key Opinion Leader for SureSmile—meaning he’s recognized at a national level for his expertise with these exact technologies.
Because the practice uses only metal-free ceramics like e.max and zirconia, restorations have the same light-reflecting translucency as natural enamel—no dark shadowing at the gumline, no opacity that reads as artificial. The goal at every step is a result that looks like your teeth, only better.
Prepless veneers preserve nearly all of your natural tooth structure for patients who want a conservative approach, while traditional veneers offer more dramatic reshaping when that’s the right fit. Neither is universally “better”—the right choice depends on your teeth, your goals, and Dr. Gause’s assessment of your case.
Digital scanning replaces uncomfortable putty impressions, and 3D printing allows for precise models, surgical guides, and bonding trays for composite veneers to be created in-office, shortening turnaround time and improving fit.
KöR whitening delivers a level of brightness and consistency that over-the-counter strips and generic whitening treatments can’t match, with results tailored to your natural tooth shade and sensitivity level.
For patients considering multiple changes—whitening, veneers, alignment, and even Botox—having one doctor oversee the entire plan means each element is designed to work with the others, rather than being handled piecemeal by different providers.
Gause is a general dental practice, not a pediatric or family one. Every aspect of the cosmetic experience, from the consultation to the materials used, is designed around the expectations of adult patients seeking refined, long-term results.

– Periodontal Care
Gum disease is one of the most common—and most commonly overlooked—dental issues affecting adults. Left untreated, it can lead to bone loss, loose teeth, and even tooth loss. Dr. Alex Gause emphasizes early detection and effective treatment to protect both your gums and the long-term health of your teeth.
Schedule a gum health evaluation to identify inflammation early and protect the foundation of your smile.

Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is an infection of the tissues that support your teeth, caused primarily by plaque and bacteria buildup along and beneath the gumline. It typically progresses through stages:
Because gum disease often develops gradually and without obvious pain in its earlier stages, regular exams play a critical role in catching it before it advances. Our dental exams include a thorough screening for signs of gum disease supported by digital radiography and, in more advanced cases, CBCT imaging to assess bone loss in detail.
Treatment is tailored to the stage and severity of the condition, ranging from a more thorough professional cleaning for early-stage gingivitis to more involved periodontal therapy for patients with more advanced disease.
Gum disease is one of the leading causes of adult tooth loss—not decay. Treating it at an early stage, before significant bone loss occurs, is the most effective way to keep your natural teeth long-term.
Once periodontitis has progressed to affect the bone around your teeth, that bone loss generally can’t be fully reversed. Early treatment is aimed specifically at halting the disease before it reaches this point.
Healthy gums don’t bleed during normal brushing and flossing, and treating gum disease often resolves swelling, discomfort, and the receding gumline that can make teeth appear longer over time.
For patients with crowns, veneers, or implants, healthy gum tissue is essential to the long-term success of that work. Untreated gum disease can compromise the foundation supporting these restorations.
Gum disease has been linked in research to a number of broader health considerations, making its treatment relevant not just to your mouth, but to your overall wellbeing. Let us care for your entire body with periodontal care.
Because gum health is assessed carefully at every routine exam—not just when a patient reports a problem—issues are often identified and addressed while still in the more easily treatable gingivitis stage.
Gum disease may develop gradually, so recognizing the warning signs can help you seek care early. Schedule an evaluation if you notice:
Bleeding during brushing or flossing
Persistent bad breath
Red, swollen, or tender gums
Gums pulling away from the teeth
Teeth that feel loose or have shifted
Changes in the way your teeth fit together
The earlier gum disease is detected, the simpler and more effective treatment tends to be.
Specializing in dental implants and clear aligner treatment, Dr. Gause is a distinguished graduate of the Kois Center in Seattle, where he received advanced training in comprehensive oral rehabilitation. He is also a Key Opinion Leader for Dentsply Sirona SureSmile aligners and is a sought-after national lecturer on dental implantology and digital implant workflows.
Improve your body’s health and protect your smile, by treating your gingivitis or periodontitis. We offer gentle care and dental sedation. Schedule a consultation at Gause Dentistry in our NYC office or schedule a virtual consultation with Dr. Alex Gause if you’re noticing any signs of gum disease.
