Dr. Lazer and his dental care team excel in cosmetic dentistry, offering the latest cosmetic dental procedures to give you a smile that is perfect for you. Dr. Doroshenko is an experienced prosthodontist and can support patients with any necessary restorative dental care that may be a part of their overall treatment plan.

The Cosmetic & Advanced Difference: Why the Same Team Handles Everything
Most cosmetic dentistry practices offer one of two options: either a general dentist handling simple cases or a specialist focused solely on complex reconstruction. Rarely do you find both under one roof.
We’ve built our practice around a coordinated specialist team who co-plan every case, from a single white filling to a full-arch reconstruction.
Why does this matter for your cosmetic treatment? Even the simplest cosmetic procedure benefits from advanced oversight. When Dr. Lazer designs your whitening plan, he’s considering your overall smile balance. When Dr. Doroshenko evaluates your bite before any procedure, he’s ensuring your results will last. Every service, no matter how minor, is informed by the same integrated approach that makes our complex cases exceptional.
You don’t need a complex case to benefit from complex expertise.
Our Cosmetic Services: From Subtle Refinements to Complete Transformations
Our patients’ smiles speak for themselves and are a testament to Dr. Lazer’s skill, expertise, and artistic finesse. Because Dr. Lazer uses the best materials, advanced techniques, and the latest dental technology, his patients know him for “getting it right the first time”.
Whether you’re looking for a quick confidence boost or a comprehensive smile makeover, we offer a full spectrum of cosmetic services. Dr. Lazer will discuss your treatment options and develop a plan that is right for you. Our most popular cosmetic dental procedures include porcelain veneers, dentures, teeth whitening, and full smile makeovers.
Subtle Refinements: The Entry Point to Exceptional Care
These services often bring patients through our doors for the first time. They’re accessible, deliver immediate results, and because they’re performed by the same team that handles our most complex cases, the quality is anything but basic.
Professional Teeth Whitening
A brighter smile is often the simplest path to renewed confidence. We offer in-office power whitening for dramatic results in about an hour, as well as custom take-home kits for gradual brightening. Unlike over-the-counter products, our professional whitening is supervised by Dr. Lazer, ensuring even results and minimized sensitivity.
Why choose us for whitening? Because your whitening is part of a larger conversation about your smile. Dr. Lazer will evaluate your overall tooth color, shape, and balance to ensure that when you brighten, you brighten beautifully. To learn about our cost-effective teeth whitening services, see Teeth Whitening.
Transformative Enhancements: Where Artistry Meets Structure
For patients seeking more dramatic change, our cosmetic services offer comprehensive solutions that address multiple concerns at once.
Porcelain Veneers
Veneers are the gold standard for comprehensive smile makeovers. These thin, custom-crafted shells cover the front surfaces of your teeth. They correct chips, gaps, stains, and minor misalignment in a single transformation.
Dr. Lazer’s LVI training sets him apart. He designs each veneer specifically for your smile. Every shade, contour, and proportion is calibrated to complement your facial features, creating a smile that looks naturally beautiful.
When veneers are part of a larger restorative plan, Dr. Doroshenko ensures the underlying bite structure supports your new smile for the long term. The team advantage is beauty that lasts.

Cosmetic Dentures
Cosmetic Dentures are full or partial removable tooth replacements that we make to look natural and lifelike. Our dentists create them to be aesthetically pleasing while also restoring your ability to speak, chew, and smile naturally.
Our team carefully takes impressions of your mouth to build a highly customized denture from materials such as acrylic, metal alloys, and porcelain. We can use cosmetic dentures in combination with other restorative methods for a more complete dental restoration.
To learn more about our cosmetic denture services, see Cosmetic Dentures.
Smile Makeovers
A smile makeover is not a single procedure. It’s a custom combination of treatments designed to achieve your specific goals. Whether you need professional whitening, veneers, or a combination of all three, Dr. Lazer and Dr. Doroshenko work together to create a unified treatment plan.
Most smile makeovers are designed by one dentist. Ours are co-designed by two specialists, ensuring that your new smile is both aesthetically stunning and structurally sound.

Frequently Asked Questions
We have answers for some of our patients’ most frequently asked questions about cosmetic dentistry.
Does dental insurance cover cosmetic procedures?
Dental insurance usually doesn’t cover cosmetic procedures, like teeth whitening or veneers. They don’t consider them medically necessary. However, insurance may cover part of the cost if a procedure offers both cosmetic and restorative benefits. It’s always important to check with your insurance provider to see what your plan covers.
Can cosmetic dentistry fix gaps between teeth?
Cosmetic dentistry offers several solutions for gaps between teeth. Veneers can quickly close small gaps, giving teeth a uniform look. For wider gaps, orthodontics, like braces or clear aligners, might be best.
We’ll recommend the most suitable option based on the gap size and your overall dental health. Each procedure has its pros and cons in terms of cost, durability, and treatment time.
What is the difference between cosmetic dentures and regular dentures?
Cosmetic dentures focus on providing a natural, lifelike appearance. They use high-quality materials to mimic real teeth and gums and are customized to fit your facial structure and smile. Regular dentures, on the other hand, prioritize function and may not offer the same level of realism or comfort. While both types restore function, cosmetic dentures aim to look and feel more natural.
Can yellow teeth become white again?
Yes, yellow teeth can become white again. Professional, in-office teeth whitening treatments are highly effective at removing stains and brightening your smile. Over-the-counter whitening products can also help, though they might not be as strong. In some cases, veneers can cover stubborn discoloration. Regular dental cleanings and oral hygiene also play an important role in keeping your teeth white.
How many shades lighter can my teeth become with professional whitening?
With professional whitening, your teeth can become 8 to 12 shades lighter. The exact result depends on your original tooth color and the type of stains. In-office treatments often provide the most dramatic improvement. We will examine your teeth and discuss the potential results to help you achieve a brighter smile.
