What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of teeth, mouth, and smile while maintaining or enhancing oral health. Unlike general dentistry, which primarily addresses health concerns, cosmetic procedures are designed specifically with aesthetics in mind. That said, many cosmetic treatments also provide functional benefits that improve overall oral health.
We offer a comprehensive range of cosmetic dental services to Manhattan professionals and residents looking to enhance their smiles. From subtle changes to major repairs, our experienced team can help you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted in a comfortable, judgment-free environment.

Our Cosmetic Dentistry Services
At SmileWorks NYC, we offer a comprehensive range of cosmetic dental services tailored to address your specific concerns and aesthetic goals. Each treatment is performed with meticulous attention to detail in our state-of-the-art Midtown East facility.
Porcelain veneers represent the pinnacle of cosmetic procedures, offering dramatic transformations with minimal tooth alteration. These ultra-thin, custom-crafted shells are bonded to the front surface of teeth to instantly correct issues like discoloration, chips, gaps, and minor misalignment. Dr. Shin’s expertise ensures natural-looking results.
Our professional whitening services deliver dramatically brighter results that combat stained teeth and can’t be achieved with regular brushing or over-the-counter products. We offer both in-office and take-home options. Our treatments can lighten teeth by several shades in just one visit.
As a board-certified orthodontist, Dr. Shin specializes in Invisalign clear aligner therapy. These custom-designed, virtually invisible aligners gradually shift teeth into proper alignment, addressing overcrowding, gaps, and bite issues—ideal for professionals seeking discreet treatment.
A gummy smile occurs when excessive gum tissue is visible when you smile, creating an unbalanced appearance between your teeth and gums. At SmileWorks NYC, we offer several advanced techniques to correct this common cosmetic concern. Using precise laser technology, Dr. Shin can gently reshape and contour your gum line, revealing more of your natural tooth structure and creating ideal proportions.

What Are The Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry?
Enhanced Confidence and Self-Esteem
Many patients report significant boosts in confidence after cosmetic dental treatments. When you’re no longer self-conscious about your smile, you’re free to express yourself authentically. Patients are thankful for the transformation and highly recommend Dr. Shin and our team.
Improved Oral Function
While aesthetics drive most procedures, many treatments simultaneously improve oral function. Straightening misaligned teeth not only creates an attractive smile but also improves bite function, makes brushing easier, and reduces cavities risk.
Youthful Appearance
Your smile plays a crucial role in facial aesthetics. Worn, discolored, or missing teeth can add years to your appearance. Cosmetic procedures counteract natural aging, with many patients finding results comparable to facial surgery but with added oral health benefits.
Long-Term Oral Health
Straighter teeth are easier to clean, reducing plaque buildup and risk of decay. Replacing missing teeth prevents bone loss. Even whitening treatments motivate better oral hygiene, as patients become more committed to maintaining their investment through proper brushing and care.

Frequently Asked Questions
Treatment timelines for cosmetic dentistry vary widely depending on the procedures involved. Simple treatments like professional whitening can be completed in a single one-hour visit, while dental bonding typically requires 30-60 minutes per tooth. Porcelain veneers usually involve two appointments spread over 2-3 weeks—one for preparation and impressions, and another for placement of the final veneers. More comprehensive treatments like Invisalign generally take 6-18 months, depending on the complexity of your case.
At SmileWorks NYC, we understand that Manhattan’s busy professionals value efficiency, which is why we offer accelerated treatment options when appropriate and combine procedures when possible to minimize office visits. During your consultation, Dr. Shin will provide a detailed timeline specific to your treatment plan.
Maintaining your cosmetic dental investment requires proper care, but most treatments don’t demand extraordinary measures beyond good oral hygiene. For all cosmetic work, we recommend:
Brushing twice daily with a non-abrasive toothpaste
Flossing daily, using techniques appropriate for your specific restorations
Attending regular professional cleanings and check-ups
Using a nightguard if you have grinding or clenching habits
Avoiding tobacco products and limiting stain-causing foods and beverages
Different treatments have specific maintenance considerations: whitening results may require occasional touch-ups, veneers and bonding benefit from avoiding excessive force when biting, and Invisalign results need to be maintained with retainers. During your treatment, we’ll provide detailed care instructions specific to your procedures, and our team is always available to answer maintenance questions as they arise.
Modern cosmetic dentistry emphasizes patient comfort, with techniques and technologies designed to minimize discomfort during and after procedures. Many treatments like professional whitening and digital scanning for Invisalign are completely painless. For procedures requiring local anesthesia, such as veneer preparation, we use gentle techniques and topical anesthetics before injections to ensure comfort.
Dr. Shin’s gentle approach and attention to detail help reduce post-procedure sensitivity, and we provide specific recommendations for managing any temporary discomfort that might occur. For patients with dental anxiety or those undergoing longer procedures, we offer sedation options ranging from mild nitrous oxide to deeper sedation that creates a relaxed, dream-like state during treatment. Our patients frequently comment that their procedures were much more comfortable than anticipated.
