Smile Makeover in NYC

A smile makeover isn’t a single procedure—it’s a coordinated plan that brings together the right combination of treatments to address everything you’d like to change about your smile. Dr. Alex Gause designs these plans individually, drawing from the practice’s full range of cosmetic, restorative, and digital capabilities.

Contact Dr. Gause, NYC’s Premier Dentist, for a consultation if you want to discuss thoughtful recommendations and high-quality care for your smile.

What Is a Smile Makeover?

A smile makeover is a customized treatment plan that combines two or more cosmetic and restorative procedures to improve the overall appearance and function of your smile. Rather than treating each concern in isolation, a smile makeover looks at your teeth, gums, bite, and facial proportions as a whole, and designs a plan where every component works together toward one cohesive result.

Depending on your goals and clinical needs, a smile makeover at Gause Dentistry might combine:

  • KöR Whitening to establish a bright, even base shade
  • Veneers (prepless, traditional, or both) to correct shape, size, gaps, or wear
  • Ceramic crowns in e.max or zirconia for teeth that need more structural rebuilding
  • SureSmile clear aligners to correct alignment issues before or alongside cosmetic work
  • Botox to address a gummy smile or soften the framing around the mouth
  • Dental implants for patients who are also replacing one or more missing teeth as part of the plan

Every smile makeover begins with comprehensive digital planning. CBCT imaging, intraoral scanning, and digital photography allow Dr. Gause to map out your case in detail and often preview the intended result before treatment begins, so you know what to expect at each stage.

Benefits of a Smile Makeover

A plan built around you

Because no two smiles need exactly the same combination of treatments, a smile makeover is designed from scratch around your specific teeth, bite, and aesthetic goals, with custom cosmetic solutions from each step.

Treatments that work together, not against each other

When whitening, veneers, alignment, and restorative work are planned as a single coordinated case, the shade, shape, and proportion of every tooth are considered in relation to the others. This avoids the mismatched look that can happen when treatments are done piecemeal, at different times, by different providers.

Function and appearance addressed together

A smile makeover isn’t purely cosmetic. Because Dr. Gause is a Kois Center graduate with a strong restorative and functional foundation, makeovers are designed with your bite in mind—correcting how your teeth meet, not just how they look, which helps protect the longevity of the result.

Efficient, coordinated treatment

Rather than scheduling and re-planning each procedure independently, a smile makeover consolidates your care into an organized sequence, minimizing redundant visits and keeping the entire process moving toward a single outcome.

Confidence that extends beyond your smile

For many adult patients, a smile makeover is about more than aesthetics—it’s tied to confidence in professional and social settings. A natural, well-proportioned result designed specifically for your face can help you feel confident wherever you are.

Expertise across every component

Because Dr. Gause holds recognized expertise across implants, SureSmile, and general cosmetic and restorative dentistry, a multi-part smile makeover doesn’t require referring you out to separate specialists for each piece—one doctor manages the entire plan from consultation to completion.
