Cosmetic dentistry in Port Washington
Cosmetic dentistry is about more than white teeth. It's about a smile that fits your face, looks natural and feels like you. Dr. Rachel Yang plans every cosmetic case with an artist's eye and the latest digital tools, so you can see your new smile before any treatment begins.
Meet your cosmetic dentist
Dr. Rachel Yang trained in aesthetic dentistry at the Rosenthal Institute, one of the country's best-known programs for advanced cosmetic dentistry, after earning her DDS at NYU. She approaches each smile as a design: the shape and length of each tooth, how your smile frames your face, and how it looks when you talk and laugh. Smilosophy Dental is also a 2026 Invisalign Gold Provider. Meet the team
Cosmetic treatments we offer
- Veneers: porcelain, same-day ceramic and composite veneers to transform the color, shape and alignment of your front teeth, including no-prep and minimal-prep options.
- Teeth whitening: Philips Zoom and Opalescence Boost in the office, custom take-home trays, and KöR deep whitening for stubborn stains.
- Cosmetic bonding: tooth-colored composite, sculpted by hand to repair chips, close small gaps and reshape teeth in a single visit.
- Invisalign: clear aligners to straighten teeth, on their own or before veneers so less tooth reshaping is needed.
- Smile makeovers: several treatments combined into one plan, designed around your face.
- Tooth-colored crowns and fillings: natural-looking restorations that blend in with your smile.
Digital smile design: see it before you commit
We start with photos and a 3D iTero scan of your teeth. Dr. Yang designs your new smile digitally, and you can see a preview of the result before anything permanent is done. For many cases, our in-office 3D printing lets us make same-day veneers and restorations, often in a single visit. More about our digital dentistry
Smile makeovers
A smile makeover combines cosmetic treatments, such as veneers, whitening, bonding, Invisalign or crowns, into one plan designed around your face, your bite and what you want to change. We start with photos, a bite check and a conversation about what bothers you, whether that's color, chips, gaps, uneven edges or worn teeth, then map out the most conservative way to get there.
Most makeovers take two to four visits after the consultation. Before any permanent work, we'll review the proposed length, shape and shade with you, so the result is one you've approved.
How we approach cosmetic work
- Conservative first. We look for the least invasive way to reach your goal: whitening before veneers, aligners before reshaping, and no-prep options when possible.
- Natural, not "done." The best cosmetic work doesn't look like dental work. We match the shade, translucency and shape to your face and your other teeth.
- Honest advice. If a simpler treatment will give you the look you want, we'll tell you.
Patients visit us from Port Washington, Manhasset and Great Neck, and from across Long Island, from the North Shore to the South Shore, and Queens.

Common questions
What's the best cosmetic treatment for me?
It depends on what you'd like to change. Stains may only need whitening, chips may need bonding, and changes in shape or alignment may call for veneers or Invisalign. We'll walk you through your options at your consultation.
Does insurance cover cosmetic dentistry?
Purely cosmetic treatment usually isn't covered, but treatment that also restores damaged teeth sometimes is. We'll give you a written estimate before you start.
How many visits does it take?
Whitening and bonding can be done in one visit, same-day veneers often in one, and porcelain veneers usually in two or three.
