Conditions Addressed with Cosmetic Dentistry
Extrinsic stains affecting the outer layer of enamel are the result of environmental factors, such as dark-colored foods or drinks. Intrinsic stains are caused by genetics or trauma. Treatments in cosmetic dentistry can address both extrinsic and intrinsic discoloration.
Teeth may become chipped or cracked due to accidents or sports-related injuries. In some cases, bruxism – chronic teeth grinding or clenching – can lead to this type of dental damage. Our dentists can use veneers or bonding to restore the appearance of your smile.
Gapped teeth may be due to orthodontic misalignment. This condition may also be the result of diastema, a dental condition in which the frenulum – or rope of tissue connecting the lip to the gums – is attached abnormally. No matter what the cause, your dentist can address the issue.
Some patients have excess gum tissue that extends too far over their teeth. Typically due to genetics, this condition makes the teeth appear too small, short, or boxy. Our Lakeville, NY, dentists can perform cosmetic procedures to adjust the gum line and enhance your smile.

Common Cosmetic Dentistry Treatments
Porcelain Veneers
We work with a high-quality dental lab to provide patients with custom porcelain veneers that blend flawlessly with their smiles. When preparing your teeth for veneers placement, Brian Hirschfield, DDS, will take a conservative approach and only remove a minimal amount of enamel.
Teeth Whitening
At Lakeview Dental, we offer Opalescence® take-home teeth whitening kits. You will line the inside of the trays with whitening gel and wear them for about 30 minutes each day for a prescribed period of time. If you are a new patient, we will provide an Opalescence® take-home whitening kit as a free gift.
Gum Contouring
With gum contouring, we will use an advanced diode laser to carefully remove gum tissue and reshape the existing gum line, creating a beautiful frame for your smile. When compared to traditional gum contouring with a blade, a laser allows us to minimize discomfort and recovery times.
Dental Bonding
During a dental bonding procedure, we will apply a special resin to the surface of teeth to fill in chips and cracks and conceal blemishes. In order to achieve the most natural-looking result possible, the color of bonding material used for your procedure will be carefully chosen based on the shade of your smile.
Smile Makeover
A smile makeover does not refer to a single treatment, but rather a comprehensive plan that includes two or more procedures. Our cosmetic dentist will listen carefully to your goals and design your custom smile makeover. Treatments are then staged to achieve dramatic results while minimizing office visits, recovery times, and costs.
Smile Makeover: Before and After
Create your custom smile makeover by combining veneers, dental bonding, teeth whitening, and more at Lakeview Dental.

Imagine if you could predict the results of your treatment before it even began. With digital smile design, you can! Our Lakeville, NY, dentists utilize the latest smile imaging technology to illustrate possible outcomes for our patients. Results are then generated into a 3-D model, which can be used to plan out the entire treatment. This removes all guesswork, so we can provide exactly the results you want.
Does Dental Insurance Cover Cosmetic Dentistry?
Insurance and Cosmetic Services
Cosmetic services are considered elective by insurance companies. As a result, costs are not covered by most plans. However, if you have sustained an injury that resulted in a chipped, cracked, or fractured tooth, treatment may be covered under the restorative dentistry category. Our team of financial experts can help determine your coverage and file any necessary paperwork.
Flexible Financing Options Available
At Lakeview Dental, we understand the challenges that come with budgeting for treatment. We believe that every patient should have access to the top-tier dental care that they deserve. That is why we offer flexible financing at our practice. In addition to accepting cash, checks, and most major credit cards, we also offer third-party financing through CareCredit® and Compassionate Finance™.
