A chipped tooth from years ago, a shade of yellow that never seemed to lighten, a gap that widened with age. A smile makeover addresses those details together, rather than treating each one as a separate, disconnected fix.

Treatments are chosen to address your specific concerns, whether that means color, shape, spacing, or alignment. For one patient, that might mean whitening paired with minor reshaping. For another, it might mean veneers combined with clear aligner treatment to improve both appearance and bite function.
At Higher Standards Dental Studio on Decatur Square, we design smile makeovers around how you actually want to look and feel, not a one-size-fits-all template. It falls under our broader cosmetic dentistry services, with a judgment-free approach to what has bothered you about your smile for years.

Once we understand which of these fit your goals and budget, we sequence treatments to produce the most natural, cohesive result.

Cover chips, uneven edges, or persistent discoloration with a thin, custom-shaded shell. Porcelain veneers
Straighten teeth discreetly for adult patients, improving appearance and bite function. Clear aligners
Repairs small chips or gaps, often in a single visit, for a quicker, more conservative improvement. Composite bonding
We ask what you notice first when you look in the mirror, what you wish looked different in photos, and whether your concerns are about color, shape, spacing, or some combination.
Whitening brightens overall tooth color, so new restorations can be matched to your brighter shade.
A straighter bite often makes veneers or bonding look more natural and last longer, so clear aligner treatment may come early in your plan.
Addressing structural issues first tends to produce a more stable result, and our restorative dentistry services can handle that step.
Someone preparing for a wedding may prioritize speed, while someone addressing years of wear may need a more comprehensive plan. We build the timing around you.
We talk through what you would like to change and which treatments can realistically get you there.
3D CBCT imaging, intraoral cameras, and digital impressions give us a precise picture of your teeth and bite.
Whitening often comes first, and structural issues are addressed before cosmetic work.
We walk you through each phase, including appointment length and the number of visits, before it begins.
Each pair shows the starting point and the finished result. Every mouth is different, and results vary from person to person.
Veneers can cover chips, discoloration, and uneven edges on front teeth for a brighter, more balanced smile that still looks natural.
A new crown and veneers can be planned together so front teeth match in color, shape, and size.
Tooth-colored composite can reshape narrow or tapered front teeth for a more balanced look, often in a single visit.
A makeover is several treatments working together, so the order and the details matter. Dr. Rickin Vibhakar plans each one around your bite as well as your smile, drawing on his Kois Center training and more than 10 years of practice, including at 60th and Park in Manhattan.
Weighted blankets, noise-canceling headphones, stress balls, lip balm, and nitrous oxide are available if you want extra comfort.
