Cosmetic Dentistry
Your health is your dentist’s number one priority; however, he also wants you to feel confident that your smile looks its best. If you are unhappy with the appearance of your teeth, you should know that modern cosmetic dentistry offers a solution for almost any flaw. Discuss your concerns with Dr. Rajani so that he can design a comprehensive treatment plan especially for you.
Teeth Whitening
Whitening your teeth professionally at our office will give you the instant satisfaction you may be looking for. At Yonkers Avenue Dental whitening your teeth is a quick and affordable procedure. The Zoom technique we use has a stronger concentration of carabamide peroxide (the active ingredient in whiteners) than what you will find in the types sold over the counter at the pharmacy. Additionally, special whitening agents are activated with the Zoom Light which will dramatically boost the result. This is what allows you to leave our office smiling and with your teeth several shades lighter.
Veneers
Veneers are a great way to address cosmetic goals that you may have for your smile. Veneers are very thin pieces of porcelain which are bonded to the front of your teeth. They look completely natural and can fix a number of issues including:
- Changing the shape of uneven teeth
- Covering chips and cracks in teeth
- Concealing gaps between your teeth
- Correcting the appearance of slightly misaligned teeth.
Cosmetic Fillings
When you need a filling we can use different materials to complete this type of treatment. When you need a cosmetic filling, which is usually in your smile area, we will probably use a composite resin (white filling) so that the filling blends in with your natural teeth. If you have existing metal fillings you may consider replacing them with composite resin for a more natural look, especially if they are leaking or causing other problems
Your first step toward the perfect smile is contacting Yonkers Avenue Dental to schedule a comprehensive examination. Call us today!

A crown is used to repair a broken or damaged tooth. We first reshape the broken tooth so that it may hold the crown in place. Then, we bond a tooth-colored cap to your own tooth so that it looks as good as new. As with fillings, we opt for white crowns over metal crowns so you can continue to enjoy a smile which looks totally natural.
Average cost of crown: $1,050
Lasts for: 25 to 30 years
A cosmetic filling is just a white filling, as opposed to a silver amalgam filling. Many patients prefer these because they maintain the original look of their teeth. Many people also feel cosmetic fillings are safer than silver amalgam fillings because they don’t contain any mercury.

Veneers are used to correct chipped and discolored teeth. They can also help you get a shapely smile that you’ll really love, concealing unsightly gaps in your teeth. If your teeth are slightly misaligned but don’t really require braces, veneers can help as well. Once, veneers were the exclusive secret of Hollywood stars. Today, they’re perfectly accessible to everyone else.
We start by making a model of your mouth, which we use to build a custom set of veneers just for you. We then use a powerful bonding agent to affix the veneers to your real teeth.
Average cost of veneers: $1293.75 (porcelain costs more, composite costs less).
Lasts for: 7-20 years
