Minimally invasive smile design at SOL Dental Arts
Cosmetic Dentistry in Maspeth, Queens
Refined cosmetic dentistry designed to improve smile harmony, confidence, and natural-looking aesthetics.
Cosmetic dentistry is the art and science of refining the appearance of your teeth, gums, and smile — using a tailored combination of porcelain veneers, cosmetic composite bonding, professional teeth whitening, ceramic crowns, gum recontouring, and implant restoration. At SOL Dental Arts in Maspeth, Queens, every cosmetic case is planned by Columbia University-trained dentists Dr. Arthur Volker, DDS and Dr. Aadel Soleymani, DDS, with an emphasis on minimally invasive technique and natural-looking results.
What Cosmetic Dentistry Can Improve
Cosmetic dentistry addresses an enormous range of aesthetic concerns: stubborn discoloration that whitening can’t correct, chipped or worn enamel, undersized or peg-shaped lateral incisors, gaps between teeth, “black triangles” between front teeth, single dark or discolored teeth, mismatched or aging older dentistry, and the overall shape, length, and proportion of teeth in the smile zone. For many patients, even a few well-planned changes — a single bonded restoration, a few veneers, or a custom whitening regimen — meaningfully change how their smile photographs and how they feel about it.
Treatments We Use
Porcelain veneers — custom ceramic shells for long-lasting, stain-resistant smile design. The most comprehensive cosmetic solution for teeth in the smile zone.
Cosmetic composite bonding — tooth-colored resin sculpted directly onto your teeth in a single visit, ideal for chips, gaps, peg laterals, and conservative refinement.
Professional teeth whitening — in-office or custom take-home whitening to brighten teeth several shades safely.
Ceramic crowns and onlays — designed and often milled in-house with CAD/CAM for precision fit and natural aesthetics on teeth that need full coverage.
Gum recontouring — small reshaping of the gum line to improve tooth proportion and create a more harmonious smile frame.
Short-term orthodontics — Invisalign or Six Month Smiles to align the teeth before — or sometimes instead of — restorative cosmetic work.
Implant restorations — single crowns or full-arch solutions that replace missing teeth with natural-feeling, beautiful results.
Our Cosmetic Philosophy
Two principles shape every cosmetic case at SOL Dental Arts. First, minimally invasive by default: we recommend composite bonding before veneers when bonding can do the job, prefer no-prep or minimal-prep techniques where the case allows, and use bonded restorations instead of full crowns when there’s enough healthy tooth structure to preserve. Dr. Volker is a Diplomate of the World Congress of Minimally Invasive Dentistry, and that philosophy threads through every plan we make. Second, results that look like you: we design every smile around your lip line, tooth proportions, facial features, and the way your face moves — not a one-size-fits-all template.
The SOL Dental Arts Difference
Co-founded by two Columbia University-trained dentists, SOL Dental Arts combines surgical-grade operating microscopes (for the precision required in fine cosmetic work), an in-house CAD/CAM dental lab (for fast turnaround and superb fit on ceramic restorations), and a clinical philosophy of restraint. Cosmetic dentistry here is built around the long view: results that age well, preserve natural tooth structure, and look like the best version of you a decade from now — not a smile that looks dramatic on day one but becomes a maintenance burden.
Where to Start
Most cosmetic journeys begin with a consultation: 45–60 minutes of conversation about your goals, a photographic and bite evaluation, and a tailored plan with transparent pricing. Many patients leave with a composite mock-up directly on their teeth so they can see and feel the projected result before committing. Whether you want a single chip repaired or a complete smile design, the consultation is the right first step.

Information on Cosmetic Services offered
What Cosmetic Dentistry Can Improve?
Cosmetic dentistry may be used to address a wide range of aesthetic concerns, including chipped teeth, worn edges, uneven tooth shape, discoloration, spacing, small lateral incisors, asymmetry, and smiles that no longer feel as polished or youthful as they once did. In many cases, improvement is achieved through conservative treatment planning that enhances the smile while respecting natural anatomy.
Our Approach to Smile Enhancement
At SOL Dental Arts, cosmetic treatment is planned with attention to proportion, translucency, contour, smile line, and facial harmony. We evaluate not only how the teeth look individually, but how they work together within the smile as a whole. This allows us to recommend treatment that feels elegant, refined, and appropriate for the individual patient rather than generic or overdone.
Treatment Options That May Be Included
Depending on the case, cosmetic dentistry may involve composite bonding, veneers, whitening, selective contouring, replacement of failing bonding, or a more comprehensive smile refinement plan. Some patients benefit from a small enhancement to one or two teeth, while others may be candidates for a broader treatment approach designed to improve the overall balance of the smile.
