Smile makeovers for Toms River patients, planned by Drs. Bookman, Goldberg, and Seto at Artistic Dental.
Toms River is built around the water, from Barnegat Bay to the beaches of Island Beach State Park, and summer photos are part of local life. If you would like to show up in them without hiding your smile, a smile makeover in Toms River can combine several treatments into one plan that fits your teeth, your face, and your schedule.
Artistic Dental welcomes Toms River dental patients to our Jackson Township office, where Dr. Miryam Bookman, Dr. Jason M. Goldberg, and Dr. Ariane Seto plan each makeover together. Our cosmetic dentist in Toms River page covers individual treatments, and this page explains how they come together.
A smile makeover is a customized plan that may adjust color, shape, spacing, and alignment, rebuild worn or damaged teeth, and replace teeth that are missing. We study your teeth, gums, and bite, and then consider how your smile fits your face. The goal is natural-looking results that you can maintain, not a one-size-fits-all look.
Healthy gums and sound teeth come first. We address decay, gum concerns, and cracks before cosmetic work begins so the results rest on a stable base.
Many people want to look their best by summer, so it helps to plan backward from the season. This is a general guide, and your own timeline depends on your treatments.
Fall
Consultation, imaging, and treatment planning, plus any gum or decay care that has to come first.
Winter
Restorative and cosmetic phases such as crowns, veneers, or implant placement, with time to heal.
Spring
Whitening, final adjustments, and bite checks so your smile is ready for the season.
| Treatment | What it does | Upkeep to expect |
|---|---|---|
| Porcelain veneers | Custom shells that change color, shape, or size | Regular hygiene and checkups |
| Teeth whitening | Brightens stained or dull teeth | Occasional touch-ups |
| Dental bonding | Repairs chips, cracks, and small gaps | Avoid chewing hard objects |
| Clear aligners | Gradually straightens crowded or uneven teeth | Retainer wear after treatment |
| Dental crowns | Protect and rebuild weak, worn, or broken teeth | Night guard if you grind |
| Dental implants | Replace missing teeth with a root and crown | Careful brushing and flossing |
Missing teeth affect both appearance and chewing. According to the CDC, severe tooth loss can make it harder to eat meats, fruits, and vegetables, which is one reason implants are often part of a larger plan.
We start with a conversation about what you want to change. Digital X-rays and intraoral camera photos let you see what we see, 3D CBCT scans add detail about bone and roots when needed, and a VELscope screening is included in a thorough exam. Your doctors then arrange treatments in a logical order and explain visits and costs for each phase.
Cerec Primescan digital impressions replace trays during treatment, and we check bite and appearance as your plan progresses. If you clench or grind, a night guard may help protect your new work.
Costs depend on the treatments, the number of teeth, and the materials, so we review them after your exam. Dental insurance often covers little of the cosmetic portion, although crowns or implants may qualify for some benefits. We accept many plans, offer CareCredit financing, and provide an in-house Healthy Smile Savings Plan.
Our office is at 180 N County Line Road in Jackson, and the drive from Toms River usually takes about half an hour depending on traffic. Many Toms River patients combine steps into longer visits to keep trips to a minimum.
Dr. Goldberg focuses on implant dentistry, while Dr. Bookman and Dr. Seto provide general and cosmetic care, so much of your plan can stay under one roof. Neighbors from Brick Township also come to us for makeover care.
These questions come up often from Toms River patients.
Whitening or bonding may take one or two visits, while veneers, crowns, and implants can take weeks or months so each stage can settle. We share a schedule after your exam.
We numb the treatment area when needed, and nitrous oxide or oral conscious sedation may be options if you feel nervous.
It depends on the treatments and your care. Whitening needs touch-ups, while veneers, crowns, and implants can last many years with good hygiene.
They overlap. A smile makeover often focuses on visible teeth, while a full mouth makeover rebuilds teeth throughout your mouth.
Yes. Share your date at your first visit and we will build a timeline that works backward from it.
