Cosmetic Dentistry
Enhance Your Smile
Today’s dentistry offers much more than just fillings and cleanings. With a custom blend of restorative treatments and cosmetic dentistry, Dr. Sapienza can whiten, straighten, and otherwise enhance your smile. Here are a few of the ways he helps nearby patients smile confidently again:
- Teeth Whitening - At The Dental Spa of New York®, patients can choose from one-visit, in-office teeth whitening or custom take-home trays with professional teeth whitening gel. The in-office method requires just one appointment and brightens teeth up to eight shades! Some patients prefer gradual teeth whitening, administered in the comforts of home. Dr. Sapienza has found both teeth whitening methods highly effective, and they can be used in succession for extended results.
- Veneers - Transform the appearance of your smile in just a few visits to The Dental Spa of New York®! Dr. Sapienza places exquisite porcelain veneers that reflect light similarly to enamel, creating a natural and beautiful smile. Veneers are thin, custom-made porcelain shells attached to the face of front teeth. They mask gaps, cracks, chips, stains, slight misalignments, and other imperfections. Because porcelain veneers are handmade, we can sculpt and tint them to complement a patient’s unique appearance. Review our smile gallery during your visit, or bring a photo of your ideal smile to your consultation. You deserve the smile of your dreams, and The Dental Spa of New York® can deliver.

FAQs
Do you have additional questions about our services or dental care in general? Continue reading through the frequently asked questions and their responses below to learn more, and please feel free to contact us for additional information or to schedule an appointment.
How do I find the best place to get dental work done?
One of the first things others notice about you is the quality of your smile, and it’s only natural to want to find the best possible provider to help you protect and maintain yours. However, you might feel overwhelmed trying to choose among the many dentists available in Brooklyn.
If you’re struggling to pick a new provider, it might help to take a few minutes to write down your main priorities regarding dental care. For example, do you need someone who is in-network with your insurance plan? Do you anticipate wanting or needing certain services, like dental bonding or veneers? Are you seeking an office environment that feels warm and welcoming? Listing some essential traits can help you find a provider who meets your unique requirements.
How much does a dental checkup and cleaning cost in Brooklyn?
It’s only natural to have questions about what you can expect to pay for routine care, especially if it’s been a while since your last standard visit. Typically, patients can expect to pay between $100 and $400 for a basic checkup and cleaning in Brooklyn, though the total cost can vary significantly depending on your circumstances.
For instance, if you have dental insurance and have met your deductible for the year, you might not owe a penny out-of-pocket. With that said, if our team finds issues during your exam that require treatment, such as cavities, gum disease, or damaged enamel, you’ll also be responsible for the cost of the repair.
How can I find someone who places porcelain veneers?
Imperfections in your grin, such as chips, cracks, stubborn stains, mild misalignments, or slight gaps, can leave you feeling self-conscious about your appearance. Although color-matched dental bonding can sometimes be used to fix these flaws, many patients prefer the resilience of porcelain veneers.
If you’re seeking someone in Brooklyn to provide these cosmetic enhancements, you’re in luck! Dr. Sapienza can provide covers that are carefully customized to match the hue, shape, and size of your natural enamel for beautiful results that boost your confidence!
What level of education is required to become a dentist?
Are you curious what makes Dr. Sapienza qualified to help patients build happy, healthy smiles? All dentists must meet specific criteria to earn their license, and he is no exception.
For instance, most dentists initially earn a bachelor’s degree in an appropriate field of study, then must achieve either a DDS (Doctor of Dental Surgery) or DMD (Doctor of Dental Medicine) from one of the 70+ institutions accredited by the American Dental Association (ADA). Then, they can choose to focus on one or more of the 12 specialties recognized by the ADA.
At our office, Dr. Sapienza earned his DDS from the New York University College of Dentistry in 1985 and has remained committed to continuing education since then. He is also a member of prestigious organizations, such as the American Dental Association and the Dental Society of the State of New York, to stay current with treatment trends and technology.
How much does it cost to get a tooth pulled in Brooklyn without insurance?
You can count on Dr. Sapienza to do everything in his power to preserve, repair, or restore your natural teeth because that’s usually best for your dental health. However, if you have an overly decayed or damaged tooth that’s beyond repair, he may have no recourse but to extract and replace it.
A simple extraction in Brooklyn can range between $100 and $450 per tooth, but a more involved surgical procedure might cost $200 to $1,000+. The total depends on different factors, such as the number of teeth requiring removal, where those teeth are located in your mouth, and whether sedation is used, for example.
