    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.

    What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?

    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:

    • KöR Whitening, a professional-grade whitening system for meaningfully brighter results than over-the-counter options
    • Veneers, offered in both prepless (minimal to no tooth reduction) and traditional forms, depending on the case
    • Ceramic crowns, made from e.max or zirconia—the practice does not use metal-based crowns, prioritizing a natural, translucent appearance
    • SureSmile clear aligners, for patients who want straighter teeth as part of an overall smile plan
    • Botox, used alongside cosmetic dental treatment to soften a gummy smile or complement facial balance
    • Smile Makeovers, which combine several of the above into a single, comprehensive treatment plan

    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.

    Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry

    A natural, not “done,” look.

    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.

    Options that match your comfort level.

    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 precision from the first visit.

    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.

    Confidence in professional-grade results.

    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.

    A cohesive, coordinated plan.

    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.

    Built for an adult clientele.

    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.
