Consultation and Evaluation
We begin by discussing your goals and examining your teeth, bite, and overall oral health.
Cosmetic Dentistry in Manhattan, NYC – Smile with Confidence
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of your smile while preserving the health, function, and long-term stability of your teeth. Many people looking for a cosmetic dentist in Manhattan are not seeking dramatic or artificial changes. Instead, they want subtle improvements that enhance their smile while still looking natural.
At our Manhattan practice, cosmetic dentistry is approached with careful attention to facial harmony, tooth proportions, and overall oral health. Rather than focusing on a single cosmetic procedure, treatment is planned individually based on each patient’s goals, dental condition, and long-term expectations.
Some patients visit our office to address small aesthetic concerns such as discoloration, chipped edges, or uneven teeth. Others are considering more comprehensive improvements that may involve several procedures working together to restore both appearance and function. Cosmetic dentistry can include treatments such as porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, orthodontic alignment, or carefully planned restorative procedures designed to create a balanced and natural smile.
Our Philosophy of Natural Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry should enhance your smile while respecting the natural biology of your teeth. In our practice, aesthetic improvements are always considered alongside long-term dental health and proper bite function.
Rather than creating overly uniform or artificial smiles, our goal is to achieve results that look natural and harmonious with your facial features. Each smile is unique, and successful cosmetic dentistry requires thoughtful planning and attention to detail.
Many patients who search for cosmetic dentistry in NYC are concerned about results that look “too perfect” or unnatural. A conservative and individualized approach helps ensure that improvements appear subtle and authentic while still achieving meaningful aesthetic changes.
This philosophy guides every cosmetic treatment recommendation we make. Whenever possible, we aim to preserve natural tooth structure and choose treatment options that support long-term stability.
Common Reasons Patients Consider Cosmetic Dentistry
People seek cosmetic dentistry for many different reasons. In some cases, the changes are small but noticeable. In other situations, cosmetic treatment may be part of a broader plan to improve both the appearance and function of the smile.
Common concerns include:
Teeth that appear stained or discolored
Small chips or worn edges on front teeth
Uneven or irregular tooth shapes
Gaps between teeth
Teeth that have shifted over time
Changes in the smile caused by aging
Addressing these concerns can sometimes be accomplished with relatively conservative treatments. In other cases, a more comprehensive plan may be recommended to achieve stable and natural-looking results.
During a consultation, we evaluate your concerns, examine your teeth and bite, and discuss the possible treatment options that may help you achieve your goals.
Cosmetic Dentistry Treatments
Cosmetic dentistry can involve a range of different procedures depending on the type of improvement a patient is seeking. Some treatments focus primarily on aesthetics, while others combine cosmetic improvements with restorative or orthodontic care.
At our Manhattan office, treatment is planned individually based on each patient’s goals, dental condition, and long-term oral health.
Our cosmetic dentistry services may include:
Porcelain Veneers
Ultra-thin, custom-made shells that bond to the front of your teeth to mask discoloration, close gaps, and correct shape or size. Veneers deliver dramatic transformations with a natural finish.
Invisalign Clear Braces
A discreet and effective way to straighten your smile without metal brackets. Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, removable aligners to gradually shift your teeth into alignment - ideal for adults and teens seeking a low-profile orthodontic solution.
Teeth Whitening
Brighten your smile with professional whitening options - either in-office for instant results or take-home trays for gradual improvement. Safe, effective, and noticeably brighter teeth.
Inman Aligners
A fast and removable option for correcting mild to moderate crowding of the front teeth. Inman Aligners use gentle opposing forces to align teeth in just a few weeks, offering a simple and efficient alternative to traditional braces.
Broadway Theatrical Dentistry
Specialized cosmetic solutions for actors, performers, and productions needing custom dental prosthetics or temporary transformations. From stage-ready smiles to character-specific effects, Dr. Beshar blends artistry with precision to deliver performance-ready results.
Single-Visit Crowns & Veneers (CEREC)
Advanced technology that allows certain restorations to be designed and completed in a single visit.
Each treatment is recommended based on individual needs and the desired outcome. In some cases, a combination of procedures may be used to achieve balanced cosmetic results.
The Smile Design Process
Cosmetic dentistry often involves a thoughtful planning process rather than a single procedure. This helps ensure that aesthetic improvements also support healthy function and long-term stability.
A typical smile design process may include:
Smile Analysis
The proportions, alignment, and balance of your smile are carefully evaluated.
Treatment Planning
Possible treatment options are explained so that you can make an informed decision.
Treatment Phase
Procedures are performed according to the agreed treatment plan.
Final Adjustments
Small refinements ensure that the final result feels comfortable and natural.
This step-by-step approach allows cosmetic improvements to be integrated with overall dental health.
Creating Natural-Looking Cosmetic Results
One of the most common concerns patients express when researching cosmetic dentistry is the fear of results that look artificial. Achieving natural-looking improvements requires attention to several factors, including tooth shape, facial proportions, and bite function.
Rather than focusing on dramatic changes, we aim for improvements that complement a patient’s natural features. Subtle adjustments to tooth color, alignment, or shape can often produce significant aesthetic improvements without making the smile look unnatural.
In some cases, cosmetic dentistry may also involve restorative procedures such as crowns or implant-supported restorations when both aesthetics and function need to be addressed together.
The goal is not simply to change the appearance of the teeth, but to create a balanced and comfortable result that supports long-term oral health.
Why Patients Choose Dr. Marc J. Beshar for Cosmetic Dentistry
Patients seeking a cosmetic dentist in Manhattan often want a careful and individualized approach rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.
Dr. Marc J. Beshar focuses on treatment planning that considers both aesthetics and function. Cosmetic procedures are recommended only after a comprehensive evaluation of the patient’s dental condition and long-term goals.
Patients appreciate this thoughtful approach, particularly when cosmetic improvements are part of a broader plan that may include restorative or orthodontic care. By carefully evaluating each case, we can help ensure that cosmetic treatments contribute to both the appearance and stability of the smile.
Advanced Technology for Cosmetic Dentistry
Modern dental technology allows many cosmetic procedures to be planned and performed with greater precision.
Our practice uses advanced diagnostic tools and restorative materials that help improve the accuracy and longevity of cosmetic treatments. Digital imaging, modern ceramic materials, and computer-guided design techniques all contribute to more predictable results.
Technology such as CEREC can also allow certain restorations to be created in a single visit, reducing the number of appointments required while maintaining high standards of quality.
These technologies support a treatment approach that combines aesthetic improvements with long-term function.
Transparent Pricing & Flexible Payment Options
Cosmetic dentistry is often considered an elective treatment, and many procedures are not covered by dental insurance. For this reason, it is important that patients understand their options and costs before beginning treatment.
During a consultation, we discuss recommended treatments, expected outcomes, and estimated costs so that patients can make informed decisions. Our team can also explain available payment options that may help make treatment more manageable.
Clear communication and transparency are an important part of the treatment process.
