Smile makeovers for Lakewood patients, planned around your goals and your calendar by Drs. Bookman, Goldberg, and Seto at Artistic Dental.
Lakewood is a busy, tightly knit community, with families, students at Georgian Court University, and professionals all sharing the same roads from Route 9 to Clifton Avenue. Weddings, graduations, and family gatherings fill the calendar, and nearly every one of them involves photos. If you have been holding back your smile, a smile makeover in Lakewood can bring your teeth into line with how you want to look.
Artistic Dental sits just a short drive away in Jackson Township, and we welcome Lakewood dental patients into a practice where Dr. Miryam Bookman, Dr. Jason M. Goldberg, and Dr. Ariane Seto plan each case together. Our cosmetic dentist in Lakewood page covers individual treatments, and this page shows how they come together in a full plan.
A smile makeover is a custom plan that uses more than one treatment to change how your smile looks and works. It can adjust shade, shape, spacing, and gum line, and it can rebuild worn teeth or replace missing ones. What makes it different from a single procedure is that every choice is made with the whole smile in mind.
That matters because mismatched work shows. A single bright veneer next to older, darker teeth rarely looks right, while a planned set blends in.
Lakewood has plenty of dental offices, so it helps to know what to look for. A strong makeover practice should be able to plan cosmetic, restorative, and implant care together, explain each phase in writing, and show you the technology that supports the plan. We use digital X-rays, intraoral cameras, 3D CBCT imaging, and Cerec Primescan digital impressions, and we are happy to show you how each one works at your visit.
If an event is on your calendar, tell us early. As a general guide, here is how timing tends to work.
Eight or More Weeks Out
Enough time for veneers, crowns, or aligner-assisted plans, with adjustments along the way.
Four to Eight Weeks Out
A good window for whitening, bonding, and gum reshaping, sometimes paired with a few veneers.
Under Four Weeks
Whitening or a small bonding repair may fit, and we can plan larger steps for after your date.
Your doctors confirm what is realistic after your exam, because healing and lab time vary from case to case.
| Goal | What we may combine |
|---|---|
| A brighter, more even smile | Professional whitening followed by bonding to match edges |
| Straighter teeth without metal brackets | Clear aligners, sometimes finished with veneers |
| Reshaping chipped, short, or uneven teeth | Porcelain veneers or dental bonding |
| Rebuilding teeth weakened by decay or wear | Dental crowns and tooth-colored restorations |
| Replacing one or more missing teeth | Dental implants in Lakewood with a custom crown or bridge |
| A gummy or uneven smile line | Gum recontouring, often with veneers |
The cost of a smile makeover depends on the number of teeth, the materials, and the treatments involved. We review estimates after your exam and break them down by phase so you can approve what fits. Cosmetic work is often not covered by insurance, though restorative parts may qualify for benefits. We accept many plans and offer CareCredit financing and a savings plan.
Our office is at 180 N County Line Road in Jackson, less than 10 miles from central Lakewood. Most patients use Route 9 North or County Route 528 West, and the drive takes about 15 minutes in normal traffic. Because we offer evening hours on some weekdays and Saturday mornings, many Lakewood patients find an appointment time that fits.
Dr. Jason M. Goldberg co-founded the practice and focuses on implant dentistry. Dr. Ariane Seto holds a Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry, and Dr. Miryam Bookman brings both everyday and cosmetic experience. The American Dental Association’s MouthHealthy resource offers helpful general guidance on caring for your smile between visits.
Here are common questions from Lakewood patients.
Some steps, such as whitening or bonding, show results quickly. Veneers, crowns, and implants take longer, and we give you a timeline after your exam.
Yes. Many patients start with the most important changes and add others later, and your plan can be paused between phases.
It may be, especially if you want straighter teeth, a brighter shade, or repairs to chips. Aligners and whitening are common starting points.
No. We are in Jackson Township, and Lakewood is part of the areas we serve.
Cosmetic treatments are often not covered, but restorative steps may be. We review your benefits with you before treatment begins.
Brush twice a day, floss daily, keep up with cleanings, and avoid chewing ice or hard objects. If you grind your teeth, we may recommend a night guard.
A consultation is a simple way to learn what is possible, on your timeline and at your pace. We examine, explain, and put every phase in writing before treatment begins.
